I understand that if i take step2 in say october, then I have the option if i want the scores to be automatically transmitted to programs or not. However, I'm filling out my app and not sure what the question is asking. Is it about my prior step 1 scores(in which case i would select yes) or is it about step 2(which I would want to say no and see the score first).
