Hi
When is the CSA going to be replaced by CS? If I take CSA this year and go for 2005 match, will I have to take CS again?

Its going to be started around April 2004 and you do not have to take CS if you pass CSA before that. For those who have passed Step I & II, they will keep administering CSA through Sep/Oct 2004. For 2005 match you donot have to repeat CS.
