81 is not so bad.. let him rock step 2, spend more money on applying to more programs in less competitive fields and go for anything.. besides couple of shots would make him feel he got 99 
I would like to see my old friends in here by the way, if u wanna add me on facebook search for Fady Fayez.. ana same pic.. just tell me ur nickname here so i know which of you..

It is my last stage actually, but the qs r too difficult, most of what i solved till now only 30-40% of people got correct, my subscription is extending till the exam. ... just did 250qs ... dividing my day between solving and reviewing ... hope it works and by the end i get to increase my scores ... but i hate memorization so much, and every word in step1 carries a potential q , every word, every word, wallahy every word ...

maoudoudy, it is not just about what u did, it is how u did it ... i mean if u solved all these qs and u didn't learn from them then it is just the same as if u didn't do them from the start, it was a big waste of time, it is not an easy task, i know, but u gotta do those not like a routine ur doing, but u gotta learn and build up ur knowledge by time ..
The thing that worries me the most ia that there is no available dates till july, i wanna postpone my exam so badly, but i can't ... So, i'm stuck and have to make my day 48 hrs to catch up, which is impossible, I don't know what to do ???!!! Rabena yostor ..

my friend told me that another guy was taking the exam with him and it happened that he solved uw 2008 and he got 99 on the same exam same day
so he said uw 2006 not sufficient
dont know if the difference between uw 2008 and 2006 could make 99-81 score difference or just they r different guys!!!!
so mezo cheer up someone got 99!!!!!

even moudoudy if he didn't solve UW at all, i have 2 friends who got 97 and 91 on step1 and UW for step1 wasn't available yet, as i said it is not how much did u do?? it is how u do it ?? may be ur friend didn't accustomed himself on time constraints and so couldn't manage it well in the exam., also don't forget that the exam. is adaptive, i mean it keeps asking u in the same topics u miss in, that happened with me in step2 where in the1st block from the stress i misplaced my answer in one of the q, when i got in break, i remembered the correct one, got into the 2nd block to find another 2 qs in the same topic, i got them right this time, then they never asked me in it again in the whole test, instead kept asking me in OB/GYN workups, which i couldn't review well b4 the exam. which dropped my score so much, so i think it also carries some kind of luck where u've been asked 1st in the topics that u mastered not the weak areas ...
Yeh Fady, typical symptoms but real fears too, real pathology not malingering

i like ur sense of humour faddy
well mezzo when i talked to my friend he said he was trained in time managment
but one thing he told me is that he pick the answers of calculation questions in beh science just randomly
he said he knew the equations but didnot want to spend much time on those
there were four questions of that type
i think this means u should pay attention to every question
also may be the score is dramatically affected if they found u totally ignore a certain topic

hi
this is my 1st post here,i really did not know about this section of prep4usmle
it seems that my score report for step 1 will be delayed as the ECFMG sent a request to my medical school to re verify my enrollment in the medical school,but there was no reply.
they will re send the request again.i hope they recieve it this time.
I think this is because i applyed when i was student ( during the emtyaz ) and take the exam after the graduation
also,I did not send my final medical diploma as only what i got is the temporary certificate.
any one has similar situation or experience plz share as I really up terrified.

It doesnt go by what you were at the time you've applied, you must have told them that you would be a graduate at the time you take the exam... just follow up with your school and make sure they send something that says you graduated from this school... ECFMG will then release your score once they receive the verification from your med school..

hi ra7man
u should have applied as a graduate (cuz u r no longer student once u finished ur 6th year"graduation date is after u finish your 6th year not emtyaz") and you should get ur final medical diploma (not the temporary one) and get it translated and send it to ecfmg.
and you should note all guys while filling the application there is question saying (is spending one year of internship necessary for graduation? and the answer you should choose is "NO" cuz actually u r graduated once u finish 6th year even if u dont spend the "emtyaz" the "emtyaz"year is only necessary to get the license to practice in egypt not to graduate)
hope i helped

So I get back to the question I asked 99 months ago would it work if I apply for a residency right after 6th year?? if everything goes well?? graduate on January to residency on July? would it work like that? I really dont wanna spend the year of emteyaz in here

yeah sure it works...u only need the "emtyaz" year to get the license to practice in egypt so if u dont do ur emtyaz its ok to get residency in USA (but u should have answered the question mentioned before with "NO" on ur application) but remember that:
1- u will not be allowed to work as a doctor in egypt even if u got the board and u had to return to egypt at anytime for any circumstances (will have to spend the emtyaz even by then while u r board certified !!!"imagine doing emtyaz in egypt after the board)
2- if u have citizenship,Grean card, or will travel on H1B there will be no problem at all in doing what u say but if u travel on J1 visa u will need statement of ministry of health and u can't get it if u r not licensed doctor!
3- if u dont wanna spend emtyaz in egy u can look for hospital in US that accept u for observership, externship or whatever and transfer ur emtyaz there and it will be counted for u in egypt (it will be treated like as if u r in ain shams for example and transferred the sugery to any other general hospiatl in cairo) and after u finish it u return to egypt just to finish the paper work and be registered in egyptian medical syndicate and get the license.
regardin the diploma
u have the right to get the final diploma once the results of 6th year are released,,,,even if the cleck told u that u can get later tell him u need it urgently and pay the fees of wt i think was called "est3gal" or smthing....i got my final diploma while still in emtyaz and finished the whole application and verification while im still in emtyaz as a Graduate

thank you for your reply
no, you cannot apply for a residency faddy
as you should be certified by ecfmg, to be eligibile for residency by most of the program
regarding the graduation, kono you must finish the emtyaz to get the diploma,and for them they consider the graduation when you finish all the requirment to get your diploma.
I f you tell them that you are graduated after the 6th year you should send them your final medical diploma to apply for the exams and this will not happen after the6th year
