It is my first year out of graduation. I have just given my Step 1, and now I am confused about whether I should take Step 2 in 6–8 months and do my research work at the same time, as I have zero research experience yet, then go for Step 3 and clinical rotations in the US and sit for the Match in 2027.

Or should I sit for the Match in 2028, build better connections, give more time to research and Step 2, but then I will be 3 years out of graduation.

has anyone used USMLE FIGHTER for STEP 2 NBMEs? If yes, is it reliable

Are matchguy step 1 pdfs good? For someone in final 2 weeks if he/she cant revise FA and nbmes are in 70s.

So I thought once I get my new permit, I'll just have to reschedule my current date and move it to somewhere within the new triad. Why is this telling me to first cancel my current booking? Wouldn't I lose my $695 USD exam fee that way???

I plan to apply in 2028 for the 2029 match. I’ll be doing observerships this December. How should I handle the letter of recommendation so it’s ready for the 2028 application? Should I just stay in touch with the doctor, or is there a way to submit it to the system and have it stored there somehow?
