Don't be misled by these assumptions! Both the step scores r equally important.If a program has a cut-off score criterion of 90 on both the steps then u need to have a score of 90 on both the steps.
However,it is usually said that the Step-2CK score correlates more with a doctor's performance during residency.Better the Step-2CK score, better resident a doctor will prove.
Best Wishes!
