You can do the same trick to get a step 1 date.

 

Hi,
I have my documents still pending verification. My exam date set for the end of August...so I called ECFMG two weeks ago and I was told I can sit for the exam even when my document was still being verified! I always thought I needed to have the "Medical education credentials received and verified" from OASIS first. Anyone know anything about this? THanks.

I was planning to take step 1 by aug..i got my scheduling permit on last friday...i checked with prometric centre on friday itself, but then i was surprised to know that only 4 days of oct was free in my slot of aug-sep-oct!!! confirmed for oct 24..

 

When did you apply for verification?

 

I got my scheduling permit today. However all November blocks in Mumbai, India are full. But i have noted a interesting pattern. Initially only mon, tue, wed slot are available but around 1.5-2 months before the thu and fri slot also opens up. I hope the same happens for nov so i can take my date....

 

com to ahmedabad for step1..lol

 

How did you check that.....I also have the same slot. yet in the process. I need to check i too!:scared:

 

Go to http://www.prometric.com/USMLE/step1 after selecting country and exam choose search for seat availability enter your city and the calender with free slots showup.

 

Luckily it shows, that for the whole month of September I can select any Wed/Thu.....

Best of luck to you!
