Hello all,

I am new to this forum, and am planning to take the exam in June/July of this year. I am an IMG and I know that the US schools medical students take their exam usually in June/July. I hear that the pass rate is higher, or in other words the exam is usually harder than normal during that time. Is this true or is it another one of the ever present rumors? I have taken the exam once before and have scored a 179/73. I am planning to study rest of April and May and take the exam in June. Would that be a good idea? Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks
