Hello,
I am IMG from Europe and decided to do steps after graduation. I also was considering take step 2 before 1 since I was after finals and my knowledge was fresh from clinical subjects.
Looking back I am happy I did step 1 before step 2 since there is a lot of connection between them in order first 1 then 2.step.
The fact is my knowledge was a little different from my med school and step 1 was a good and important source for passing step 2 at least for me.
Good luck!

I would say to take step 1 before step 2 is more useful and logic. You are right though you have already studied for step 1 . According my experience it would be double work to study for step 2 first since you have to include knowledge from step 1.
