PGY-1 here about to register for the step 3. I want to take it around April 2021 (lightest schedule). Should I register now or wait until later? I understand we can register six months before test date.
 
As I understand it, one is not allowed to register for Step 3 until after officially graduating, correct?

How long does the registration process take? The website says up to 12 weeks.

I finish medical school in late May. Is it unlikely I would be able to complete the exam in June?
