hi ....to all i needed some advice from the forum seniors .... I was filling in application for step 3 ....the FAQ's stated , the processing starts the moment they recieve the information , n wuld be complete within 15 days n u r given a slot for 90 days . but i intend giving the exam in january later half , as it is no exam can be taken durin the first two weeks of jan. so i just wanted to inquire wether i should apply now of wait for later on ...as i dont want an early slot of nov-january, just to be on the safer side . i really appreciate the way ,u guys are helping out each other in this time of need n confusion. thanx alot .... for any advice !! diyaa

i'd say apply now as it takes time for certification of identity to get notarised and reach. that way you'll get dec jan and feb slot. i sent my cert of identity in second week oct and got a slot beginning nov 1

Sobia you can take exam through out if u've the permit ....except the first two weeks of january. I want to give by december end , but missed the deadline for taking the exam this year , as for that application should have been filled by september 2006. but for 2007 i guess one can go ahead and apply. so have u recieved your scheduling permit ...sobia ?? Thanx sailingship for the valuable input.

Sobia ,the main point here is ....if u already have the scheduling permit (application verified ) u can simply schedule your exam for any time except the first two weeks of january . If u r applying now ...u have already missed the deadline for this year as sep4 2006. as in my case too. for ur refference: 1. Is there a deadline for receipt of the Step 3 application? All 2007 Step 3 applications and fees must reach the FSMB by 5:00 pm C.S.T. on September 4, 2007. 2. When is Step 3 offered? Step 3 is administered at Prometric Testing Centers throughout the year, except for the first two weeks in January and any state or federal holidays. Hope this helps !!
