HI
PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS
I AM IMG AND DID PASS STEP 1 AND WILL TAKE STEP 2 IN 2 MONTHS AND AFTER THAT CSA
DO I NEED TO FINISH ALL THE STEPS TO APPLY FOR RESIDENCY?WHEN IS THE DEAD LINE FOR RESIDENCY AND WHEN IS BEST TIME TO APPLY?
WHICH QUESTION BANK IS THE BEST FOR STEP 2 ?KAPLAN ?

its not necessary to finish all steps, but it is better u have all scores with u when apply..
there will be people applyin who have all scores, so they might get prefrence over u..

ive seen other posts in the forum n ppl said the best time to apply is sept 1st..
deadline i think is oct 31st or sumtime in nov..
(i am applyin this yr too, so i apologise if its wrong)..

for step 2, most ppl recommend USMLE World, but kaplan is gud too..(havent done it myself, yet)
try doin both..

deadline for many pgms is dec 1st but most of them invites before december .....so its always better to apply early ..i.e september
for step 2 combine kaplan step2 notes and usmle world[very good].
good luck
