And the wait for exam results begins......Hope I'm not racked with anxiety for the next 2 months as I wait for exam results....
Agreed. Still feel that Truelearn was one of the best resources, but where it set me up for failure was thinking the questions on the advanced were going to be well thought out and would actually test your medical decision making.Everyone uses truelearn, problem is that the test was garbaggio
This test is a joke. Such a money grab and not even remotely a worthy judgement of one's anesthetic ability.
yesDo we at least get an email of something when scores come out? I hate the waiting the most.
Not that it necessarily means anything, but the wait between the Basic exam and report dates 2 years ago, was 5 weeks plus a few days, releasing on a Tuesday.
Meaning it should be Sept 1st then?
That is my understanding as well. In fact, I was thinking of not even paying for the exam for many months. The return on investing 2400 is probably significant.In the past I know there was a rush in the hours after advanced results came out to schedule your Oral/OSCE (Applied) exams ASAP. Based on recent emails from the ABA about needing to accomodate those who had their 2020 exams cancelled, my understanding is that there is no such need to urgently schedule anything this year - because there is no self-scheduling option, right? We will be assigned a date in 2021, likely in the second half of the year? May or may not still be virtual, decision on that TBD early 2021?
Just making sure I understood their email correctly..

Passed!Passed!!! What is everyone doing about registering and paying for the applied?
Did the truelearn bank in the 2 weeks before the exam. Just get a good night sleep, complete an anesthesia residency, and you’ll probably be fine.Heard it was a weird exam! People whonpassed what resources did u use and what do you recommend ?

75th percentileThose who passed, how well were you doing on Truelearn Advanced qbank?

80th plus percentile first pass. 97th percentile second pass; but during board prep I wasn't sure (and I'm still not sure) if truelearn was reflective of whether or not I would pass boards since I had seen/done 50-60% of the questions prior to Advanced exam prep (during ITE prep)Those who passed, how well were you doing on Truelearn Advanced qbank?
That’s complete bull****. They’re going to give you a random exam date some time that year, and will tell you three months before the exam date. Exactly why I have yet to pay them for this."We will email you with your exact date, time and hotel information approximately three months prior to your exam week." (Somewhere between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2021)
They must be banking on getting back to in person exams ASAP. Again, I think it’s ridiculous for the ABA to expect us to pay 2400$, wait over a year to take the exam, and then give us absolutely no information about the exam until a couple months before the date.Hotel information? What happened to it being virtual?

if a large proportion of us don’t register immediately for the exam I bet the ABA will start giving some info, may even commit to virtual for the entire year. But if everyone just signs up and pays the ABA, you can gaurentee they will take the money and continue this nonsense.
Than if course I would promptly register .....What if they decide to just mandate everyone to register and pay now?
