hi fellows, is there anyone about to take step 1 within the next 2 months in europe testing region (preferably milan). i am to go for it in febuary, but i am feeling very nervous, maybe if there is someone in this region we can exchange ideas and console each other.

The only city where you can take the test in Italy is Milan.

Hi Italian ,
i ve never heard or read information like that so far...it must be a rumour :? ...i think all of the q's are choosen from the same pool and everybody ,in US or outside US ,faces q's around similar difficulty...
and i also have lots of friends took these exams in Turkey and scored upper than 90 ...Respira profunda ,Buona Fortuna smiling face

Alice8, have you heard of anyone who had done the exam in italy and passed? To the best of my knowledge there is no one, but I might be wrong and i hope so. :roll:

Hi Bolognese ,
Unfortunately i know nobody who had taken these exams in Italy and already passed ...But i am sure there must be someone there :wink: ...I think there are only some coincidence :roll: Because it is more than impossible Italian ,Turk ,French students get more difficult q's than people who participate these exams in US
Best wishes and good luck to you all smiling face

You can immediately stop that disscusion about test being harder outside States because it is completealy boolshit.Much more imgs take test in the states then outside so there isn't any reason to make those test harder in europe or some other continent.

This is really bad news, to say that no one has ever passed the usmle exams from Milan !!! Please can some one who had done the exam in italy prove this to be wrong?
Molte grazie
