hey
I took Nov 29th in philly and got my score at exactly 11am....of course I checked a billion times last night d/t the rumors about them being up a few days ahead of time...
I passed!!!! Sooooo happy and relieved! I seriously thought I failed that thing. It just seemed so blah. Interestingly, my highest stars were in the ICE component, and got a tad lower on the Communication parts (which are usually my best part). My lowest bar was spoken English proficiency lol🙂

Took mine on November 8 and just got my score. I'm on the west coast so it's 9:00 a.m. right now for me. Thank God I passed, especially since I studied for only two weeks. Definitely did not want to pay for that exam again. I am soo relieved, I seriously thought I failed too. Got High marks for everything except data gathering which has a few stars in borderline but majority is in higher marks.

Thrilled that I passed! I literally studied for this thing for a total of 3 hours the night before while on the interview trail in Los Angeles. Soooo relieved. Seriously, I think the stressful part is the subjective component and I've read that if someone doesn't ask enough open=ended questions. etc or the patient does not like them- people have failed. Actually, all of the marks except for data gathering were in the higher performance range --so yay!! I ate a cupcake to celebrate!!!! 
Took mine on Dec 13 in Chicago. Didn't study one bit for it besides learning the format, but no cases whatsoever. After the test I thought I failed for sure because I hadn't actually seen a primary care patient or written a note in over 6 months (m4 senioritis- rotations in rads, anes, path, sleeping). Got my test result today and prayed as I opened it up. I passed! Thank heaven.

Took mine Dec 30, and per the reporting schedule, results should be available starting Feb 23. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I got an email that my scores were ready on Feb 2...and even more so when I saw that I passed. 😀
I honestly thought I was gonna fail that thing again considering that I started all 10 of my PEs after the 5 min warning and fumbled nervously through most of them; didn't even do PEs altogether in 2 cases,
forgot to wash hands/glove 2X, the proctor had to ask me to exit the room 2X 😳 and ran out of time writing the PN in about 7 cases. 😱The few things I thought I did well were that I asked copious amounts of focused questions, CAGEd every pt who drank alcohol (didn't care how much) 😉 and closed every encounter appropriately (even if it meant skipping the PE in a couple cases). And oh yeah, I also counseled EVERY pt on something (preventative health, smoking, unwholesome sexual practices, excessive alcohol use etc). 😀
