Listen up!
This is one of the truly neat deals - I stress it in ground school, and then have reasonably bright students taking a chance with another third class medical. That can bite!
If you are not absolutely sure you can pass a third class, do not submit the form until you are 100% certain.
If you do submit, and are turned down, you cannot fly BasicMed, and you cannot fly Sport.
CANNOT! You cannot fly! If you don't submit, you can fly untill they pull your driver's license.
If you have a special issuance, and want to skip those yearly invasive exams, go BasicMed.
(Of course, this does not apply if you fly Beavers, or want to fly in Canada, or fly commercially)
Know the risks of flunking a third class. Know that if you flunk, you cannot fly anything, ever, until you re-qualify once for a third class!
You may see this on other forums - I am scratching my head trying to figure out why this is not making it as general knowledge. Maybe it is like "line up and wait" or that new "hold short" thing?
