There is no exact date as when to give CS after IICK however things aren't same as before CS has become one of the toughest exam in the USMLE now.

If you are not confident don't go for it, CS is not a joke now... seriously once you flung in the CS your whole schedule will be derailed and you will find getting residency next to impossible.

Most of the people from Nepal couldn't make CS in 2007 and the failure rate might even increase this year because of this most of the Nepalese couldn't get residency this year.

Lets to be specific, two week gap between II CK and CS would be very difficult for you, if you want to go with the existing schedule keep practicing from now onwards when you become saturate studying II CK.

Anyway all the best.

Yeah, CS is definitely not a joke, its a very big step and i believe its the most important phase of USMLE. so, i wish alll those appearing for CS all the best and suggest that please do a very good homework before appearing for the Exam.
