Hi freud , I dont know how much time it takes
for me I got my scheduling permit very rapidly but it might not be the case everytime so if you are decided , just apply for above mentioned period
you will make it , just believe in your self
Cheers !

Hi freud
once ecfmg issues scheduling permit to you of nov dec jan block
you can take date at anytime
there is no any restriction
however I suggest you to take any date you think suited for you at earliest
i am stating this coz we have scarce availability of date at nearby center and
you can reschedule any number of time without any charge
your situation might be different there in Algeria

dear freud
i am in a similar position like u
i have been preparing since one yr
i am actually ready to take the test now but my extended scheduling period has expired and i got sep-nov slot
u will never be perfect for this exam
please believe me
do not waste any more time give nbme 3 online and depending on the score u get book the exam and get over with it
otherwise you lose motivation
my advice is cram and get over with it
give ur best shot, u will get a good score
i have finally realised that step 1 requires at the max of 3-4 months of intensive preperation to get good score and not months of time in which u loose steam midway
even if ur planning for 2009 match get over with all the steps quickly and try to get usce and some research under ur belt as they improve ur chances of getting residency
