Hello,
I am an non-US IMG that is currently studying for his USMLE Step 1 exam in September.
I realized that I need to reschedule my exam since I am running behind. I am debating whether to take my exam in November and try to get a good score or wait until January 2022 and take my exam pass/fail. I am able to pass it now with what I know but need extra time to get a high score.
I am applying for 2023 match and I am not sure if the programs are able to see my step 1 score if I take it before January 2022 or if my score will affect the selection criteria.
I guess my question is should I try to get a good score or take it pass/fail since the programs may not even get to see my score?
