is your system of 4 or 6 years? i know that mbbch is 6 years ... so you can take the step 1 after you finish your b. sciences which would be after your 3rd year not after your 2nd GL

yes, assuming you are a medical student in india, it is better to get step 1 out of the way while still in school. that's how the americans do it, and i can see now the reason for that. when you do/finish i'ship, you will only have the clinical subjects to deal with, whether after final year exams, or during/after i'ship, when all the clinical material is relevant and fresh in your head.
