what about your other step. if you have not passed that within 7 years time period than your first passed step will not be valid and you can retake your exam in dec 2006.

I am v sorry to jump into this discussion 2 yrs late. I apologize again. I am in exactly the same situation, and was wondering if you found and answers to this question. I passed the 2 steps in 1997 and was hoping to be able to retake them as I have failed to get into a residency program.I have reread the exemptions to the restriction and it looks like there is no way.

I am not sure whether I have got it right, but, If its more than 7 yrs you last passed your exam, you'll have to retake exam, your previous scores are no longer valid.
Hope this helps.
