I desperately need some advice! I was due to do my Step 1 in August, and had plenty of time to revise- but chickened out at the last moment. I have rescheduled the exam for December and am going to start really getting into things soon. My only problem is I am not really the brightest person on Earth (to be honest)- and also panic whenever I do an exam. How should I calm myself down when faced with the sheer volume of step 1? Maybe a study partner would help- anyone around in Cardiff, UK? HELP!

You have done much more than me, but we should definitely share our experiences as we revise. I am going to start on cell bology/pathology tomorrow. Done a BSc in it last year- so I hope it will be fresh in my head!

Hey, ofcourse you can join the gang! To reschedule to next year I think you would have to pay a fee to the ECFMG- but I am not sure how much. Refer to the ECFMG web site- good luck!

I guess you have to talk to them you can only take the next consecutive eligibility period.i.e. now u have oct,nov.dec and after that you can only reschedule for jan.feb .mar.I guess that fee is around $50.i am not sure.u can talk to them.
