Hello suggestion needed again.
I did an NBME exam today, scored low , 270.
Has anyone ever scheduled the usmle 1 exam and not showed up for it?
what happend?
I dont want to pay the cancellation or reschedulling fees.
And how late can I be to send my documents with the results to apply for the Match this year?
Please give your suggestions.
Thanks.
PS exam on 31st of July,2008

I think it is $50 to extend your 3/12 exam period, and $50 if you miss exam.
if you reschedule before 5 business days of actual exam, its free.
no way is it $700. I arrived without my exam permit so they would not let me sit.
if you miss exam, which I did, the system locks you out for 2 days
before you can reschedule a new exam date.( you have to call prometric and pay your $50
so they can reset their computer to take a new date).
with a low score you are going to need another full learning cycle.
askdoc has good advice on how to improve your score.
so if i was delaying exam at least give yourself enough time to reread all
notes and then take another nbme.
i did not believe my initial nbme score, so studied weak area, and told another one in
3 days and got my score up another 100.
