i believe u transmit a usmle transcript with ur scores and a separate ecfmg transcript detailing when u gave each exam and if u passed / failed. in short all ur attempts are already auto available to the pds whether u like it or not. so not clickin auto trans doesnt make logical sense to me. i am not sure of the whether u can retake cs. do they have a lock in period durin which u cannot reregister for the exam? also are the dates available? i think if u fail now - u shud be able to retake it. not sure how adversely it wud affect calls and other things.. and im sure its just u whos comin out of the exam feelin jittery. relax. its a pretty easy test with 80% pass rate for imgs.. apurva

thanx apurva..ur idea sounds logical to me... I'll answer yes to both the questions on USMLE transcript page on ERAS my exam was satisfactory. i just wanted to be prepared for the worst in case i need to deal with it.

You can check NO on the lower one, that means you will see your step 3 result first then you have to transmit it to programs, if you check YES then your result will be revealed to programs before you know about it.
