Have u done yur Clerckships in the US?If so then u might tell them that due to the US Clerckship experience u feel that u can pass Step-2CS exam without any difficulty and due to this reason u want to take the said exam first.
It is also pertinent to mention that if u take the Step-1 and Step-2CK exams first and pass them with good scores then it becomes much easier to get a B1/B2 visa to the US.

Then u can tell them that u wanna finish with the Step-2CS exam early so that u wud be able to apply to the residency programs with all the three Step scores viz. Step-1,Step-2CK and Step-2CS in hand coz' it takes a much longer time for the Step-2CS results to be declared in comparison to other steps.
