Do the PE scores get reported if you fail?

I just got my scores back and I failed. Do my scores get reported to the programs I am applying to? And do I even have enough time to retake the exam before graduating? Please someone enlighten me as to what happens now.

First, sorry to hear about your luck. This test sucks big time, trust me I know. Anyway, your scores do not get reported to your programs unless you request them to be sent to your programs through ERAS.
However, if you are unable to get a date early enough to retake it and pass it before graduation then you will be required to tell your programs about it so that they know you may have to start residency late.

thanks for the input.... little sigh of relief after hearing that 😎

i'm still not sure why this exam exists, isnt that the whole reason we are graded on our rotations? who better to decide if we can be competent physicians than physicians.... i feel like starting a petition or something
