Nevermind, ABEM sent out the instructions this week: http://e2.ma/click/vfrji/jmg2eh/nxvsbd . Also, there is a sort-of demo of the testing software here: http://www.pearsonvue.com/athena/

For those who took the 2015 ABEM qualifying examination,do you know when the results are expected to be posted? I know they said it takes 90 days for the results to be released but was interested to know if someone heard anything different.
I heard last year they posted around mid Dec.

Ok great. So hopefully very soon.... good luck everyone.
log into abem, it'll tell you much faster than waiting for the mail
You can apparently pay an extra fee to go in the day before your exam and see the software.
The actual exam is two blocks of ~ 150 questions. You get a large amount of time to complete the entire test as well as a time standard for each block of questions. You have to complete the block of 150 in the pre-requisite time requirement or the test closes. You then have a block of time between the two blocks to eat lunch/take a break/etc. If you run over that time block your time automatically advances on the next block. I am always behind the time hack on standardized tests and time was absolutely not an issue for me on this exam and I have yet to hear anyone who had an issue with time.
All of this information is available on www.abem.org (though the site is not the easiest to navigate).
Yeah. Until I see my score, I am cautiously optimistic. Especially since I felt the Qualifying Exam was very random.

I will say this. If they mistakenly put a a big green check by the "Pass The Qualifying Exam" in my "Personal Access Page" that when expanded says "You Passed The Qualifying Exam" four days before Christmas, I hope they all get a load of rocks in their stockings.
Don't know how much to celebrate but same thing...green check...
Yes sir!!!! Time to celebrate after this 12 hour shift
Ha. Me too.
Though I presumptively celebrated yesterday too.
Yep, my score is up too. It's real! Awesome early Christmas present, ABEM!
I don't think it's a raw score, as it goes up to 99, whereas there are 305 total questions. It's likely a scaled score, like say 240 on Step 1.
Glad I passed. I guess it is now ok to say that I think this was a terrible test.
Many questions that are outdated or irrelevant.
Will not give any specific examples.
ABEM you should do better.

Agreed. I even thought it was a definite step down from the ITE, which I found surprising.
