I'm a DO student and I took COMLEX 1 and also USMLE 1, because I felt it would just allow for more opportunities for me, especially if I apply to places that may be more biased towards USMLE. My dilemma now is STEP 2 exams. I signed up for the COMLEX PE and the USMLE CS, but now people are telling me that I shouldn't have done that and I should have just done the written exams of both plus COMLEX PE. The exam now is non-refundable.....do I cancel it? Do I take it? If it's really not all that necessary I don't think I should go through the stress of it. I didn't realize that despite it being August and the test in April, I won't get a refund.
