So an update about the step II CS score reporting fiasco has appeared on the USMLE website....

What if I received a passing Step 2 CS score report dated January 12 through March 30?

Our review of the data currently suggests that a dozen or fewer examinees who originally received passing scores will be affected. On May 25, we sent express mail deliveries to ten examinees, notifying them that we could not verify their performance on the Patient Note component of ICE. It will be necessary for them to validate the previously reported passing result by retaking Step 2 CS before December 1, 2005. We will complete the review by June 15 of the small number of additional candidates whose passing classification could conceivably change to “result pending

so botton line is 40 people who were told they failed actually passed, and at least 10 who were told they passed actually failed. How much money did I spend on this abomination again???

Please I have been contacting class action lawfirms. They want to see people in favor of a class action law suit (Step 2 CS) please manifest your interest ... exam is ridiculous and costly.... not to say that some people have experience major profiling by the actors.. 🙂

Profiling by actors? Can you give more details about that?

Please count me into this. I spent 2000 dollars on a prep test for this test, and I still ended up failing it when I had never failed any of my previous two USMLE boards. Please reply to me privately about the specifics and how we get this going. I just took the test last month for a 2nd time and now they are going to have a delay on giving results back. These people are full of Sh%@$. Suing them is the only way they will learn... It's time to get some of my money back...
 
I have a terrorist appearance... I am wondering if I got racial profiled, since the component I failed was the CIS... Oh well...

I think this test is a way to feed the big dogs $$$. There is nothing else to it. It has to be banned sooner or later. Please let me know if anyone with any information on how to do this.
