Lmao ! My exact strategy starting with the prep. But ecfmg is taking exceptionally long to verify my documents and I checked the prometric for January and they have 0 dates available in janauary . So I have made peace with the fact that I might be taking the pass/fail. And I should just learn the material perfectly with the intention that it’s going to be helpful throughout in the future exams.
Oh man so sorry that you couldnt get a date in January. When I booked I was checking constantly for a week until I got a date. Don't worry about it though, prepare for step 1 like you have to get a 270 and you'll do well 🤞 What resources are you using?
Hey there! I may have mentioned it somewhere, but I'm just aiming for that numbered score and hoping from there 🤞🤞 if things go horribly wrong I can just take pass-fail. I have heard that good preparation for step 1 sets you up well for step 2 so I won't be that disappointed. 😅
Good day, i saw you showed the eligibility period from December 2021 to Feb 2022, but do you know of an exact date the last scored step 1 exam would be?
Hey Ari, this varies depending on the availability of the prometric centres near you. The absolute deadline for pass fail is January 26. If you take the exam on or after that date you will not get the numbered score. Prometric administers many tests beside USMLE, so availability varies a lot. Good luck!
I couldn’t find a test date in my country inJanuary, so I booked my test in another country and refreshed the website every day until I got something on the 15th, still not the best but great!
Thank you so much very useful information
Glad it was helpful!
