I got a terrible tonsillitis with a sore throat and fever.

Anyone else get sick? How you handling it? This definitely put a kink in my 30 day study plan.

Last year, when I took step 1 I was suffering from food poisoning. My mom and I got it from eating breakfast at McDonalds 2 days prior. I was sick as a dog throughout the exam, but somehow I survived and managed to pass it.

wow, kudos to you....

you couldn't cancel the exam and take it another day?

A pretty nasty cold cost me 2 days of studying last week.

I think if your willing to pay a rescheduling fee you can push your date back if you get really sick.

Anyone know the deadline for this?

It's free...as long as your test date is within 5 business days, I believe.

I've had a nasty tonsillitis sore throat for a persistent 4 days.

Okay, this wasn't meant to be a "joke" thread but that was definitely a LOL

I hope all of you feel better. I know you've probably heard this a million times, but make sure you get plenty of sleep and fluids. Hang in there and you'll do just fine.

If your test isn't within 5 days, just push it back if you can. No fee.
