Hi:
I am an IMG who is certified 1 month ago.I have scores of 89(218),87(214) in step1,2.I have 2 months USCE with 3USLOR.By sep.2005 I will be done with 3 months observership.I am 2002 graduate.Alot of people told me that I have a good chance in IM for the next match(i dont know if they are right!).My question is that I want to take step-3 within 2-3 months b/c I want H1B visa.Now if I passed step-3 with score in the 70`s(75-79)is this going to affect my chance in securing IM position or PD look only for pass/fail performance in step-3!!Any Guidance or help will be appreciated!!Thanx

as far as my knowledge step 3 score is never considered, it is only to get H1, pass/fail. dont worry, and who says you will socre bet 75-79, you might get 90 + too, GL

Hi
I don't think that passing with low score would be a problem.. Infact you have really good credentials right now.. GL
