Please forgive my ignorance; I feel like all of these questions were things I should've figured out long ago.
1) When the first ITE? I've heard there is one for PGY-1's, but that it doesn't count for fellowships. Is this true?
2) What does count for fellowships? I assume ITE and AKT scores are high up on the list, as are letters of reference. But what other things?
3) Is Step 3 relevant at all for fellowships? Or can I simply shoot for a passing score and not worry about doing well? I was hoping to get this out of the way ASAP
4) When should I start studying for the ITEs/AKTs during intern year? I have heard of people starting around January and doing pretty well on their first ITE.
5) Are there other big exams I should be cognizant of, aside from the ITEs and AKTs? (aside from the board exam obviously)
