You must be a graduate and you must finish all Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS before you can apply for Step 3.

Is there any exceptions that do exempt one from the requirement of CS before taking Step 3? i.e. Can I take Step 3 after clearing 1 and 2 CK?

What If I am not able to take Step 3 before the Match? If I get matched without it, will I be limited to J1 visa, which means I must return home after I finish my residency? And if so, is there a way to continue working in the US after that?

Thanks.

If I'm to take Step 3 in the few coming months, what's the last date to receive the score on so as not to be late for the Match? I won't be able to get it done by Sep 1st.

And when I receive the score, can I simply update my ERAS? and what if I already got interviews and had my Step 3 score released later?

Sorry about all those questions!
Thanks.

One last question!

Thanks Sabio!

How long does it take for the score report to be released?

Usually three to four weeks after your test date.
You can monitor your Step 3 Status here

Strange, I can't login on that website. It says my login or pass is wrong. I'm using the same login info I use on OASIS.

You can't login until you have actually applied for Step 3.
Did you apply for step 3 exam and your application was accepted?

No, I haven't applied yet.
Where can I apply? I can't find any links for that in IWA.

Oh, here it is I think http://www.fsmb.org/usmle_fees.html

Can somebody tell me more about the Postgraduate Training Requirements for Foreign Graduates mentioned here? Does it mean I can't take the exam in a state that has these requirements?
