I believe this week is the week!

My permit is still up :(

Now I can't help but feel I failed

Does anyone know if the reporting date is related to the date when we took the test or is it more random?
For example - does it usually work in a way that everyone who took the test on a certain date has to wait longer or is it more like a couple of examinees from each date? (I know they say those taking the exam late are more likely to get the results late)

I don't think so, honestly. But I do know the vast majority of people are set to get their scores this Wednesday, whether they took it in July or August.

Thanks! Was just curious as I took the test quite late (27 Aug) and saw the date mentioned earlier in the thread as well and I cannot use the permit trick because mine disappeared within days of the exam.
I will check the Step 3 eligibility/application page tomorrow and in case something changes for me there, I will post it here!
Good luck everyone in the week ahead!

Wait so for IMGs, the “click here to reprint the permit” link will be gone or when you click the link it says....

I believe that this is what it's like for everyone on OASIS. Also, judging by the previous threads, the permit thing is not a reliable indicator for us.
According to what some others have said, if this was the last exam for you, then if you are able to begin Step 3 registration in the next 2 days (most likely tomorrow, 9 eastern time), that should indicate that you are about to receive a passing report on Wednesday.

So does the permit disappearing mean we passed? In theory?
Click to expand...

probably not. It seems permit disappearing means scores coming up on Wed. You can still get scores this Wed if permit is still there. I don’t think permit disappearing vs staying is a clue to whether we passed or not

anyone know if step 3 registration trick works for AMGs or is that for IMGs only?

I have seen a few AMGs claiming it had worked for them on the previous threads (including this year's CK thread - if that was their last exam) - so hopefully we all get a relief tomorrow!

If you have an account on the FSMB website (same place where you probably checked last Wednesday 1 am eastern time) - this time instead of going to Examination history, try clicking on Step 3 application. Right now you would probably get the red message saying you weren't eligible. However, tomorrow morning (or perhaps Tuesday) it may change and give you some sort of a registration website with the link to "eligibility period selection" or something like that (without the red message) -> if you get that, that should indicate that you have passed because FSMB has been notified that you have "satisfied the examination requirements for Step 3".
Not sure if it works in 100% of cases though. Just hoping most of us can be spared another 2 days of torture. :shifty:

Is there a chance this could be related to the fact that it’s a holiday over there?

Have any other IMG/FMGs tried it? (Not working for me)
This is torture...

Isn't the step 3 registration trick exclusively for IMGs? The FCVS trick should work for everyone at 12a Wed tho

Mine too, mid-July.
Great.

I took my exam on the first day of this cycle - July 14th. My permit is still up as well, which is beyond infuriating.
For what it's worth however, my permit for CK stayed up the entire time until the actual day my scores were released and apparently people say that the trick works better for CK than CS...:confused:

Has anyone been able to start the Step 3 registration today (especially anyone who has already graduated)? I just noticed someone on CK forum saying it's working now! I still can't register.

It seems like AMGs have had their permits disappearing so unless they have a way to release score only to AMGs - I think there is still a good chance most of us get the score tomorrow!

I am supposed to sleep considering it’s about midnight in Europe. Something tells me it’s not gonna work.
Currently deciding between going to bed and staring at the ceiling for the next 7 hours and googling “IMG match after CS failure”. You? :bang:
