Advice needed - drgab

I am an IMG with YOG 2010. I have passed step 1 with a low score on 2nd attempt. I have passed cs but have not yet given my step 2 ck exam. I wanted to know whether it would be advisable to retake the step 1 exam again after 7 years of passing it the first time & try to get a high score. Would this be considered negatively by residency program directors?

Spammers like AMIQT are just annoying.

The main issue with waiting is that your YOG is 2010. You're already a very old graduate 8 years out of medical school for the next match season. If you wait it will keep adding years to your profile.

The question is not whether it will be considered negative. The issue is that with your YOG, no matter how high the score, you may not be considered at all.
