hi all, I want to match in 2011 and havent done with step 1 yet. Whenever I think about taking it cortisol kicks in and changing my exam date/schedule everytime. I am myself feeling coward. When I change my exam date then I feel good. Don't know what to do..but all I need to know what latest month to take in order to match in 2011. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance
no one.. Common ppl help me
my friend from the previous match, took his step1 at exactly 2 august, 2009, and was able to get his certification by 27 august... so he was perfectly one time to apply for the match in sep 1..
and right now, he is happily enjoying his last free month before starting his residency..
Thank you very much!! Hope you get 99 in all exams..And I'll pray for you, er12.
thanks koolmd.. please do... i will too..
To er12, when did your friend took Step 2 CS and CK. I have bad anxiety problem and planning to take steps one by one cuz I have to match in 2011 otherwise I'll have to find work. Let me know cuz I may plan to take steps that way. Thank you so much again.
well, he had his tests throughout a year!
CS was even long time before that..
anyway, he was done with his CK in late jan.. then gave his step1 in august..
thats all what i can say..
