The dean at our medical school told us this news last week before it broke. Apparently FSMB and NBME disliked the weight residency programs were putting on Step 1 scores. I imagine that since Step 2 CK and CS will still be scored, residency programs might look at that more closely, but I honestly don't know.

basically this. step 1 was all residencies were paying attention to. the step 1 score was what determined what you could do. everything hinged on it

only if they have them available. Those are often taken too late to be available to residencies to consider for match. I'd imagine students might be likely to try to move them up to try to compete for competitive residencies.
