hi, if you have taken prematch in IM or FP then i think it is better for you to give exam in 2nd year because step 3 consists mainly of management of patients with 80% course being internal medicine.

However if you have taken admission in a field like surgery, obgyn, etc then i would advise you to finish off the exam so that you dont have to give it at a time when your internal medicine becomes more weak.......like in the 2nd year of residency.

all the best
