Question for aProgDirector – USMLE attempts ??

Members don't see this ad.

I would really appreciate if you can answer this:
If I registered for (and paid) for a USMLE exam but did not take it (did not show up at the test site) – and then took the exam later (had to register and pay again) – does this count as a second USMLE attempt?
Does this make me look like a weaker applicant?
Can programs filter me based on this?
Thanks !

If you did not sign in to the exam, it does not count as an attempt and there's no way for them to find this out.
