If NBME sent you the USMLE score report, does the school already knows how you did?

I just saw that NBME sent my score report today 6/08/05 (by logging to their website). I was wondering if the school gets the score electronically today as well? or does the school gets it on paper? I can’t wait to know how I did although I am definitely :scared:

Yes, your school is sent your scores electronically when the results are posted (in other words, they already know your score).

What sucks about this is people at my school who failed were told immediately that day by faculty, and didn't get to find out in private at home beforehand.

Oh noooooooo!

I had no idea you could check the score report date until I read your post. Apparently they mailed mine out yesterday too. My heart is pounding and my hands have just gone freezing cold. I hate waiting for test results.

Does anyone know how long the gap is between the posted report date and the date when you receive the report? My concern is that they printed out the report yesterday, but now it has to wend its way through some kind of post-report processing, maybe hang out in their mail room for a few days....

I need a big shot of scotch, but its only 11:14am.
 
They always release scores on Wednesdays. I think they mail it later on Wed or on Thursday; I got my step 1 scores on Saturday and both Step 2s on Mondays. I am sure this varies by where you live as to how many days it takes to arrive.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I can titrate my anxiety to be maximal at mail delivery time on Saturday and Monday.

Last night I had dream after dream about getting my scores: in one, I'd open the envelope and discover a wonderful score; in another I'd open the envelope to find I barely passed. Then I'd dream I was on a computer and my score was right there in front of me, but it had been put into one of those messed up spam-preventer fonts that you can hardly read...
 
Omores...yours should be in your mailbox soon as from PA (where NBME is located) is short trip. For me it will be longer as it has to travel to the other coast. This is killing me!

According to NBME, people that take the exam b/w May 23 and June 30 should expect their scores released on Wednesday July 20th. It could be sooner than that but that is the date they promised. You can check it on the NBME website (same place you used for registration).
 
Scores received Friday!!!

I had convinced myself that the envelope would arrive on Saturday, which meant that my anxiety level for most of Friday was pretty low. By the time I got home, I already had two beers under my belt. That meant that when I finally figured out that the flimsy bulk-looking envelope in the middle of all the junk mail was actually the one, I was able to handle it.

Nice thing is that when you open it, the scores are right there -- not like with the MCAT where they have those "example scores".

And I did just fine, but that's another thread.

Best of luck in your final days of waiting!
