Is it supposed to be after second year? third year? also, I heard that the scores are to be valid for only two years, anyone can confirm this?

It will only be available for 2, one weeks periods in a given year and I am pretty sure your score will be valid for two years. Not sure when the ideal time to take it is. From my understanding, this year is a pilot year and the test isn't a requirement for the ADEA PASS application, rather it is specific to the program whether they are going to require you to take it. Similar to how the GRE works for ortho, some do some don't. So as of right now I have not seen on any programs website that they are requiring it, but that may change in the coming years. I am also unsure about which specialties this will apply to...
