On ERAS under examination if you haven't taken step 2, should you list it and mark it has will take and put approximate date, or put nothing, just list the step 1 alone, I am worried putting a far off date might not look good, but my step 1 is pretty competitive for the field I am applying for.

Many people simply don't list it.

thank you, can I ask another question, I don't have any important medical awards can I leave it blank? Also under other awards and accomplishments, can I list undergrad awards and honor societies?

Many people leave this and other areas blank. You can list undergrad awards, but most PD's won't care about those (unless it's something really famous -- a Rhodes scholarship, or a Nobel prize, or something like that)
