The applicant is assigned the next eligibility period, August-September-October. As shown in both examples above, you will be able to obtain an eligibility period that has already begun, or that will have begun by the time you are registered and your scheduling permit is issued. Your assigned eligibility
If you are unable to take Step 1/Step 2 CK during the three-month eligibility period assigned to you, you may request a one-time extension. You may extend your eligibility period only through the next, contiguous eligibility period (the next eligibility period that does not overlap with your original eligibility period). Example: An applicant’s original eligibility period is April-May-June 2012. The eligibility period may be extended only through July-August-September 2012. You may request an extension on-line using IWA
. If you take the exam during your original eligibility period or if you do not take the exam, you will not receive a refund or credit of the eligibility period extension fee. You may request an extension of your eligibility period only once for each exam registration. You may request an extension of your eligibility period only after your eligibility period has begun. The processing of your request must be completed by the published deadline or your request will be rejected. For specific information on deadlines, refer to IWA . If you are a graduate of a medical school that participates in EMSWP and your medical education credentials have not been primary-source verified by ECFMG or if you are a student enrolled in a medical school that participates in EMSWP, ECFMG cannot complete the processing of your request until your medical school verifies your graduate/student status through EMSWP. Additionally, you must continue to be eligible to take the exam during the extended eligibility period (you must still be officially enrolled in a medical school located outside the United States and Canada that is listed in
and
the “Graduation Years” for your medical school must be listed as “Current,” or you must be a graduate of such a medical school and your graduation year must be included in the school’s IMED listing). See Eligibility for Examination . If your eligibility period is extended, NBME will issue a revised scheduling permit reflecting the extension. You must access this revised scheduling permit using IWA
and bring it to the test center on the date of your exam. If you have a scheduled appointment during your original eligibility period and need to cancel and reschedule the appointment for your extended eligibility period, you must contact Prometric to cancel or reschedule that appointment. Requesting an extension of your eligibility period does not cancel a scheduled appointment. A fee may be charged if you change your appointment, depending upon how much notice you provide when making the change. See Rescheduling in Scheduling the Examination. If you are unable to take the exam during your original or extended eligibility period or you are unable to extend your original eligibility period, you must reapply, including payment of the appropriate fee(s), to take the exam.

Step 1/Step 2 CK Eligibility Periods | Step 2 CS Eligibility Periods | Reexamination and Reapplication
When you are registered for Step 2 CS, you are assigned a 12-month eligibility period that begins on the date that the processing of your application is completed. Example: A complete Step 2 CS application is received at ECFMG on July 15, 2012, and processing of the application is completed on July 28, 2012. The applicant will be assigned an eligibility period of July 28, 2012 – July 27, 2013. Your eligibility period will be listed on your Step 2 CS scheduling permit. You must take the exam during your eligibility period. You can schedule a testing appointment for any available date in your eligibility period. Once your eligibility period is assigned, it cannot be changed or extended. Although you cannot change your assigned eligibility period, you can reschedule a testing appointment for a different date within your eligibility period, subject to availability. To avoid a rescheduling fee, you must cancel or reschedule more than 14 days before your scheduled testing appointment. See
in Scheduling the Examination. You may take Step 2 CS only once during each assigned eligibility period. If you take and fail the exam, you must reapply, including payment of the examination fee, to obtain a new eligibility period. You may reapply approximately 24 hours after your failing score report becomes available; you do not need to wait for the previously assigned eligibility period to end. If you do not take the exam within your eligibility period, you must reapply, including payment of the examination fee, to take the exam.
