It depends on program, but 1 attempt to fail not catastrofic. Just keep going on. I failed twice and second time on english!!! unbelievable! Just check the programs what doesn't require ECFMG sertificate for IV and go take it again!!! Register ASAP. You are not alone, let's keep moving.

Hello everyone. They have changed some criteria which is why all of a sudden so many people have failed CS. MUXIA, do u have any idea how to find programs that do not require ECFMG certificate for IV ?? I just found 2 or 3 who say that they did not require ecfmg certificate before I/V.

WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT GUYS!!!!!!! I FAILED IN THRE CS IN CIS PART DESPITE THE DOUBLE 99 IN BOTH STEPS 1&2.... I KNOW 5 OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAD THE SAME BAD RESULT IN THE CIS PART..... IF YOU KNOW ANYONE IN THE PROGRAMS WHERE YOU HAVE APPLIED, THIS WILL HELP YOU V MUCH. BY THIS MEANS I WAS ABLE TO GET 6 IV IN INTERNAL MEDICINE ..... SO TRI TO MAKE CONTACTS WITH PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAMS & TRY YOUR BEST . I HAVE A DATE FOR THE EXAM ON NON 9 ......REALLY I AM SO WORRIED BECAUSE OF THE FAILING RESULTS OF MANY OF MY FRIENDS ...... ANYWAYS WE HAVE TO STRUGGLE , TO BE STRONG & NOT TO SURRENDER ..... WE SHOULD TRY OUR BEST HOPING FOR THE BEST. BEST WISHES........
