Please note your exam date cannot be scheduled on major holidays or during the first week of January. Each eligibility period will have a wide selection of test dates you can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that it\u2019s important to be proactive and timely with this task! Slots fill up rapidly, and as a result, not every date will be available. Make sure to plan ahead.

You can then schedule your testing appointment. Make sure to select a date that falls within your chosen eligibility period, or you\u2019ll have to reapply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"USMLE_Step_1_Costs_fees\"><\/span>USMLE Step 1: Costs &amp; fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budgeting is an important part of scheduling your board exams, as you must pay all applicable fees by the time you apply. Here are the costs you should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before applying for Step 1, you must apply for ECFMG certification, which costs $160.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The examination fee for Step 1 is $985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last, but not least, make sure to factor in the International Test Delivery Surcharge, which can vary depending on where you\u2019re testing.

Keep in mind that there may be unexpected delays, so try to be patient and allow for at least eight weeks to receive your report. You will receive an email when your score is available, so check it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully, you now feel better prepared to schedule your Step 1 exam.
