Just curious 🙂 We've been waiting a full week now for a block grade. It can be a little scary!

I had to wait almost 3 months for my surgery grade 😛

Usually within 1 week during pre-clinical though.

Whoa I'd have LOST IT. You must be super patient!

The annoying part was that my preceptors apparently wrote the same comments for all of the students who were on that service. And THAT is what held up the grade, waiting for the evals.

Pre-clinical is immediate for us. You finish the exam and the computer asks you if you want to see your score. Lab practicals were graded in less than 24 hours.

See the scores: right away (instantaneously by email)
Final grade for the class: typically 1-2 weeks

I almost had an incomplete on my ERAS transcript because it took months for evals to come in

Not as fast for us in preclinical, but still within a couple business days and sometimes same day.

In preclinicals it was always just a few hours.

In clinicals, we'll get the shelf within a week usually. The evals on the other hand, anywhere from 1 day to 3 months depending on the attending

Wow you survived an entire week without a grade? That's seriously impressive, put it on your resume

First 2 years, the grades were up within 24 hours. 3rd year...lucky if the clerkship grade is up in 6 weeks. Some clerkships are better, however, and at least give you your shelf score within a couple days.

We get ours within 24 hours.

What's the point of this comment? To like hurt my feelings or something?

Our block grades are instant. Test is taken and submitted on our computers, and we get the score immediately. Anatomy took a couple days to grade.

Block grades for some of the subjects are up within a couple of hours and others take a day or two.
