Hi! So my medical school announced that they would let the class of 2023 decide when we want to take the exam (2nd or 3rd year). They will then just place us in 2 different tracks based on our choices, but we still get a 6 week dedicated period regardless.
Based on today's announcement, I'd have a score if I took it in 2021 and a P/F if I take it in 2022.
I go to a mid-high tier medical school that is true P/F, so class rank/pre-clinical grades are also not a factor when applying to residency.
I'm not aiming for a competitive specialty (possibly psychiatry or IM), and I honestly have not done any substantial Step 1 prep yet, although I definitely plan on stepping that up this year.
I'm kind of lost as to which track would be more advantageous for me and would really appreciate everyone's thoughts!!
