I think you should focus more on preparing well enough to pass the test, rather than taking it on a week where you can get your results back quickly.

No. It is more important to get that score back as soon as possible. OP will be so ecstatic about his passing score of 202/71 he can start planning his career in Rad Onc/PRS/Ortho/Derm/ENT/Neurosurg.

Instead of concentrating on studying for a very important test, one where you should have done everything the first time to avoid failing, the OP is worried about information that no one on SDN is likely to have, and certainly wouldn't give out. It also has no bearing on his clinical training, something they clearly need to be spending a little more time on.

They should take the test at the earliest date possible, as long as they feel confident they have studied enough to pass, so as not to unnecessarily delay their 3rd year clerkships. The USMLE does not, nor will they give absolute time frames on score reporting. This is made clear on the USMLE web site.

Since the OP didn't take the time to read through this information, I assumed that they hadn't had the forethought to examine future subspecialty choices, or that they were so fixated on future subspecialty choice that they forgot to study for step 1.

you'd best leave the pillars alone and just enjoy the air up there

I received my step 1 score today, 181/71. Disappointed for sure. Anyway, I am getting a list of stuff organized and was planning on taking it on November 25, but I've heard that sometimes USMLE has BLACKWEEKS where it takes longer to get your score back. Does anyone know anything or where I can find information on this. Thanks in advance!

I don't know about blackweeks, but they did notify schools back in May that grades within a certain timeframe would take longer to arrive then normal. It was only a difference of about a week or so, if I remember correctly, so it shouldn't effect you too much.
