USMLE score and month taken?

Hi,

I have a quick question. I think I heard before that taking the USMLE in the summer with the US students would cause one to have a lower score since the US student would raise the avg score and taking the exam in say a month like december would lead one to have a higher score as the US students scores woudln't be calculated in the scoring? is this true?

That's incorrect. If that were the case, everyone and their mothers would be taking the test in the winter, spring.

The scores are averaged using a 1 year time period. So it takes into account alot more than just that 1 month. It doesn't matter when you take the test.
