I had posted earlier about the issues I am having while preparing for this exam. I have taken steps to address it, and initially, I had improved a lot with my NBMEs and UWSA. But certain things have happened which have caused my state to deteriorate. I want to get through this and am really trying to, but I don't want my exam score to be poor. Ideally I should take it when I am at my best, not when I am suffering. I have the ability to do well on this test, I know, but there's no way I can reallize my fully potential if these issues are hindering it.
I had registered through prometric for date of May 10th. I want to know how I can move the eligibility period. I know there is an option box when I log into ecfmg IWA, but I want to know a few things first:
I am an IMG who did MBBS from India. I got Form 183 filled out and sent by the college through ECFMG. My college then communicated with ECFMG on the Electronic Portal to verify that I'm a student.
If I change the eligibility period, does the college have to go back on the web portal to confirm anything? Or is it just a matter of me paying a fee?

Are you still in your eligibility period? Like is it May-July .. if May is the last month they will charge you $65 to move it to the next period. I dont think your school has to confirm anything again unless your validation date is near. Plus they will charge you for moving the exam since its only 10 days away.
