To take the USMLE step 1 examination you have complete 3rd of MBBS and registered with ECFMG . Please find the ECFMG website for you refernece. http://ecfmg.org/
Then you have to prepare and block the examination date for USMLE. To explain about the USMLE in details which is a three steps examination. USMLE step 1, step2 CK, step 2 CS and step 3. After finishing 3rd year you can appear for USMLE step 1, while completing 4th year you can appear for USMLE step 2 CK and CS. While you start the residency in USA you can appear for USMLE step 3.
But once you start the preparation while studying the course (MBBS) which will be easy and you can cleary easy and save the time. If not it will take around 2 year to complete all the steps after MBBS.
So being a foreign med student (Norwegian), do I have to finish med school, and then sit thru the USMLEs or can I take the USMLE exams during med school (since some of the stuff for step 1 still might be fresh in my head)?
