Hello,
I have a question for some one who might answer it,
with matching who has more advantage step 1/76 first try,
or an 85/ 2nd or 3rd try? and which one step is usually screened for for matching in IM?

Once you passed (even minimally) the step, you are not allowed to retake it to improve your score.

That's not true,you can retake your scores after 7 years as most states have a time limitation during which you need to pass all 3 steps within 7 years,if you say you wish to resit your step to comply with the needs of the state board for licensing and obtain a letter from the state board where you intend to practice to give you a letter permitting to resit the step,you'll then be allowed to retake provided there's a time lapse of 7 years from the time you took your first step.
Hope I am clear
