COMLEX III still 'scheduled' online?

My status still says 'scheduled' even though I sat for the test last Thursday. Is this typical?

yep. sometimes they change it to "approved" (which is what it says before you register) so don't be surprised if that shows up later. basically, it'll say something nonsensical until your score is out.

yup. on step 2, it took over 3 weeks before it changed from scheduled to taken, or something along those lines.

just waiting for it to say 'teh awesome'

Is that what the computerized system says for your step 1?

I was quite happy with a "passed" for step 3 so that I don't have to deal with the NBOME again.

 

[Idiopathic]

'teh pass' will suffice

Can I hijack the thread and ask what DO's study for step 3? Of course, Savarese...but what else?

I guess if I fail it in early fall, I'll be able to recover by spring of next year. And I imagine my military surgery intern year is going to be less effective in helping me prepare, eh?

savarese's autonomics info, boards and wards, NMS question book, First Aid Step 3 (didn't like)

Did well with not very significant effort. I honestly don't know that studying made a difference. It was a lot like step 2, IMO.

Outside of OMT (which was very helpful to study) I felt like I maybe got 10-20 questions directly from studying. The rest I dont feel I could have prepared for without Step 1 style studying. But, they werent that hard either...of course, I dont have my score yet either

release dates: sometimes you have to see when that nbome page got updated...i got my score for step2 becaused i logged into their system, since the front page wasnt updated since march.
