Last year I got it in the first week of May but
My PD had the results earlier I guess late April
My guess they will have it this week hopefully
Anyone know please share
 
I just had my "semi-annual" review with our Program Director. He said a fellow faculty member was at some ASA or ABA meeting recently and the scores are being "re-normalized" this year. Who knows what that means.

That said, I agree that my memory is ITE scores came back in early May last year.

Congrats
So compared to last year was it better or worse
This year was more tricky easy questions can be deceiving
 
32 was passing for CA-3/requalification.
If they use the 20%-ile ranking as cutoff, then for CA-1 it's a scaled score of 24, for CA-2 it's 29.

Maybe, I had always heard that it was borderline and would probably get you through.

I got a 35 as a CA-1. Does this mean I could theoretically have passed my writtens if i took them now? Seems kinda hard to believe.
Would a score like this help with my fellowship apps? I heard
most programs ask for them, but have no idea how much they are weighted.
Congrats to everyone!

I scored a 40 and I'm just a CBY-1.:soexcited: Does this mean I can pretty much bypass residency, take my boards this year and become an attending?
I sure could use the extra cash now.
Has anyone ever heard of doing this?
BTW, I like hardly studied at all

Let the anonymous bragging begin🙄

Seems like this recalibration of scores is back to the old figures( pre-2008) - in years 2008-2009, when they first started to separate ITE from the real one in August, getting a 32 was a bomb and 40 didn't exist. Most of the residents who have passed the last common August exam in 2007( as a starting CA-2) found their scores in the 2008( as a starting CA-3) to be almost abysmal - the results were withheld for almost a month by PDs since everybody was so confused about the results nationwide and what did it mean and should it be known to the residents at all.

Anyway, congrats guys!
 
just a question..........got our scores back last week, i'm a ca3 will be taking the writtens in august.... scored really badly and disappointed, scored a 29, felt like i studied a lot...... read big blue... did all of ace question books.... read morgan.... maybe i have a problem with focus during the exam, get really impatient to finish it.

will be taking neils jensen and essentially reading big blue, doing the hall question book, and also reviewing foundation with morgan. don't know what else i can do......... any tips or advice?? really don't want to fail this thing in a few months and on the fence about whether i should postpone the test!??!!...............

If concentration is the issue, work through Hall at >50 Q's/day as you approach the exam. Build stamina and increase to 100 Qs/day in one sitting. Review the answers hard core. If you finish Hall, start again. Re-read M and M.


-CA1 who read M and M and did Hall--> ITE 39.

I'm intrigued as to the 100-something PGY-0s who took the exam. Are there MS4s taking the exam?

I was once a PGY-0 and took the ITE. At the beginning of residency at my program, we had our internship months (12) split over our first 2 PG years, shared with our CA1 stuff. So the first year we were PGY0s, on PGY2 we were half CA1. Only when we got to CA2 we were simply CA2 for ITE purposes. So, no MS4s taking it, just anesthesiology residents in 4 year programs with various arrangements for internship instead of the ususal prelim/transitional internship before starting your CA1 year.

what? I don't get it. once you graduate med school you're a pgy-1, post graduate year... you can be a CA-0 but not a PGY-0.




Any way... I didn't study at all but took my time to answer the q's and got a 19 as a CA-0/PGY-1. I've always been average... And I am also interested in knowing how much the ITE's are weighed when applying for fellowships.

I guess I am going to have to double my score for next year.

Yeah I don't get why you would be labeled as PGY-0 and then PGY-2. I get the half and half thing, but you'd still be PGY-1 and PGY-2, it's just the CA years that would get confusing in that format.

Also, I was excited about my 29 as a PGY-1 until I saw that dude with the 40. Mad props to that guy.
