I am scheduled to take step 2 when I am 32 weeks pregnant. I am so tired that i can't even study like i need to. I'm not even supposed to be taking a nap during the day while preparing but i am so sleepy! So i was thinking about moving the test date closer so I won't be so far along but then will I lose valuable study time? anyone suffer through these hellatious exams so far into a pregnancy? which is better- closer= more sleep time or farther away= more study time?

I took Step 1 at 35 weeks. It was ok, but I'm sure I could have done better not pregnant. However, waiting 6+ months wasn't a real option for me (and I'm always more tired AFTER the baby comes than before). I'd recommend taking the exam as you've planned, not earlier. Good luck!
