Multiple attempts on any of the USMLE steps r very damaging in these days of increased competition for residency.One can not afford multiple attempts on any of the steps.A good CV in order to be competitive for residency programs will be at least like having a score of 90 or above on the USMLE steps and Step-2CS passed on the first attempt.
Good Luck!
