of course you can extend to the next elegibility period they charge u with 50 dollars (nothing)
You have to fill the 176 form.
http://www.ecfmg.org/usmle/form176.pdf
They allow us to make a one-time extension. You may request an extension of your eligivility period only after your eligivility period has begun. Requests received at ECFMG more than 25 days after the end of the original eligibility period will not be processed.
If you have a scheduled appointment during your original eligibility period and need to cancel and reschedule the appointment for your extended eligibility period, you must cancel or reschedule at least five business days before your scheduled appointment to avoid a rescheduling fee. Requesting an extension of your eligibility period does not cancel a scheduled testing appointment you have to cancel also the appointment.
Hope this helps, the info is from the ECFMG booklet.
