Step I Question

[softroll]

There are some students in my class who have re-enrolled in medical school. They have done so because they they didn't pass the USMLE's and by re-enrolling in basic science they get to retake the USMLE and there will be no record of their old scores because they have new ECFMG numbers. I've never heard about it and was wondering what everyone thought.

I thought our boards were associated with our social security numbers, so this doesn't make sense to me.
