Ok since nobody has made one yet I figured I'd start it since scores should be posted in less than 5 min! Good luck everyone!!

220/91...really, really wanted 230, but who am I kidding, I'm still ecstatic. I'm pretty dead set on EM, and I'm hoping this will allow me to do just that.

Not an SDN score, but I'm happy and about to celebrate with a beer.

I took it on 06/28 and my score is not shown. Now I enter this phase of obsessively-compulsively checking email every 5 min for the next several weeks.

250 -

dissappointed after scoring in the 260's on NBME - but I definitely felt like I scored in the 235-240 range coming out of the exam and felt horrible. so I'd take it. hopefully it doesn't stop me from getting competitive specialties

Congrats everyone!

Congratulations all! Your amazing scores will not deter me from merging this thread with the real official score thread, but I'll keep them separate while the scores keep coming in

Well folks. I'll be the first one to admit that I bombed it. 202. I'm so upset that I will probably not sleep for days and I'm on my surgery rotation so that makes matters even worse. Considering how bad I felt coming out of that exam, I guess I should be happy to have passed it at all. Oh well I didn't go to medical school to be any specific specialty at the time. I guess I should just be happy for the opportunity to be an MD at all. Goodbye anesthesia, hello family practice in Alaska. Congrats to all who did well, and my condolences to all who did not. I need a hug...:(

thanks bud! to be honest, i was almost more excited to get into SDN and share my news with my new weird family than my actual family and friends. who knew a bunch of anonymous people whom I'll never meet would play such an influential role in my life.

good times everyone! we did it! the beast is slayed. step 2 is a little baby bitch, so it's smooth sailing from here on out, or so i'll keep telling myself until i start my OB rotation.

257/99.....thank the great Lord.

I just want everyone who went through this thing to know that no matter how much it ate away at our souls, we made it through. I commend each and every one of you and even though the journey will always be the most important part, we can move toward the destination with more ease. Way to close this chapter of your life. I have much respect for each and every one of you on this board and those reading this because not an ounce of hard work goes unrewarded ultimately in the end. GOOD luck to my fellow brethren. Here's to remembering why we're gonna do this...

yea, higher mean and only slightly smaller std dev. don't know what thats about...it could reflect trends in general scoring (which i hard to believe given the nature of a standard normal distrbiution and mean adjustment) or it could reflect the nature of the cohort who took this best post May 16th. frankly, most of the top med schools have their exam during this period so it could reflect that. i really don't know...somehow, still, my score it supposed to be comparable to the many others that have come before us...

I haven't taken mine yet - next tuesday i get part one of my freedom - but I have to hand it all of you - all you guys and gals are bunch of bad @$$ b!!tches when it comes to thing - your scores are downright nasty - I saw a couple of 271's thrown in there - i didn't even know people actually came that close to 300 - crazy - though these scores are highly irrepresentative of the general population, I can't help but feel you have raised the bar for what I want to do to this test considering SDN is really the extent of my social network during these last couple months....Good luck to you all in becoming the neuropsychohepatologists you aspire to be..
