the date which your permit issued is the first date of 1-year elegibility period. when you get the permit, you can access to scheduling page, you can subscribe to email notification system for your prefered date or keep refereshing page evey 5 sec ( for peak time, oct, nov, dec) or every 2-3 days for off-peak time( mar, apr). the email from ECFMG is a good option, make a gamil account for yourself, download the gamil notifier from your gmail setting. whenever you get an email on your gamil, a pop-up screen with a sound appear on your desktop, showing the subject of the email. tell me if you have more Q.

you can apply for CS, after you clear step 1. so I were you, I took step 1 earlier. it is good to have all the result in hand before Sept, first. (ERAS opening)
