Is there any way to get it back? I see that there is a $70 fee option for a hardcopy (I think), but I just want the pdf...

If you are outside the date range where they take it off line there is no way but to pay. BS but hey, welcome to medicine.

Well you don't really need the hard copy anyway. You will have to pay to upload it to eras (not sure why)

Pro tip: start using the cloud! Services like dropbox or google drive which sync with your computer and never lose an important file again.

As said above though you don't need it. Anyone who wants your Step 1 score will need it sent directly from the NBME.

You have to pay for it. There is no other option. The fee you will pay is minuscule compared to fees you will pay in the future.

So I pay the price and get a hardcopy of the report via snail mail? or do they send the pdf, too?

Unless something has changed in the past few years, you'll get a hardcopy in the mail. I would highly recommend scanning that as a PDF and backing it up.

And that scanned pdf can be uploaded into VSAS, then?

What do you mean by your laptop crashed? Won't turn on? Or the hard drive physically broke?

If the computer won't turn on take the hard drive out and connect it to another computer to get your files off of it. I use this to connect, it was $25
