 Friends checked Oasis and it said this
Our records indicate that you have already passed this Step or the equivalent NBMEŽ Part. The USMLE Policy on Reexamination generally does not allow applicants to retake a Step examination if they have already passed that Step or the equivalent NBME Part. There are, however, certain exceptions to this policy:
Exception #1: Applicants pursuing an H-1B visa who have passed NBME Part I and/or Part II may take the equivalent Step(s) to meet the examination requirements for this visa.
Exception #2: Applicants who have already passed a Step or Step Component or the equivalent NBME Part may retake that Step or Step Component if they need it to comply with a time limit for completion of all Steps or a requirement imposed by another licensing authority recognized by the USMLE program for this purpose.
Exception #3: Applicants who have passed all or a portion of the NBME certifying examinations, Part I, Part II, and Part III, and the Federation Licensing Examination (FLEX) Components 1 and 2 and have never been granted a medical license by a U.S. medical licensing authority, may take any Step(s) for which they are otherwise eligible.
Exception #4: For the purposes of ECFMG Certification, ECFMG requires that applicants pass those USMLE Step or Step Components required for ECFMG Certification within a seven-year period. Effective June 14, 2004, applicants must pass Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 2 CS within a seven-year period for ECFMG Certification; this new seven-year requirement applies to applicants whose earliest USMLE passing performance that is valid for ECFMG Certification took place on or after June 14, 2004.
If you still wish to apply for this exam based on one of the reexamination exceptions outlined above, you cannot reapply on-line. For Exceptions #1, #2 and #3, documentation supporting this exception must accompany your paper exam application. Click here for complete instructions and a list of appropriate documentation. You can download and print the USMLE application materials from the ECFMG website. Alternatively, you can contact ECFMG for these materials (allow four to six weeks for delivery).
Opps! nervously waiting for results my exam was on december-30,2004, score was sent on january 26,2005.
Thanks for all the help myfriends only because of this forum and gods grace i was able to get thru am happy god bless all, all the best for exam takers,cheers.

Clinical clerkship refers to all the clinical training you have undergone during your coure as a medical student.
Your college should be able to provide all the details and break it down into the subjects wise hours of your study.
hope it helps
cheers

SHO means senior house officer, it is like a Postgrad or residency in USA, but is paid well in UK :wink:
