Just got the email saying my score will be released at 5 pm today, went on to say that they were releasing them in waves so they don't crash the servers

I guess that is pretty reasonable. I hope they have them all out by tomorrow still though.

Edit: if that was a troll post, its in pretty poor taste.
 
A friend of mine called last week said they will release at 11am and they might be staggered to avoid the system crashing. Assuming that person was a troll.
 
Thanks for keeping us in line.

It's a tough job but someone has to do it

Pardon the ignorance but is 6/21 scores expected to be released tomorrow?

Log on to the NBME site and see if it says "order score recheck". If it does, I would say the chances are good that you'll get yours tomorrow
 
I know a lot of you guys are getting your scores back tomorrow, and I hope you are all happy with the outcome, but could you guys please quote your initial post-test feelings post along with your score when it's made available? That way we can compare how you felt vs how you really did.

Cheers.
 
Took step1 on June 24th. Do you think I'll get my score tomorrow? (Im an IMG so cant use NBME.org to see if the score recheck thing is available to know if It'll be released tomorrow). Any US students take it on the 24th and can check to see if the "order score recheck" is there for them so that i can know whether or not to expect it tomorrow?
 
Hello peeps. Hope you're all good and receive your scores tomorrow (all of you who are waiting since centuries ago). I take my exam two days from now and plateaud at 230's on NBME's. That's cool with me. However, how did you guys handle this anticipation anxiety? In my case it's pretty bad. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
 
Well everyone, our careers will be decided tomorrow. Dreams will be dashed and ambitions will be heightened. Enjoy your night and before you know it we will be like Poltergeist "they're hereeeeeee"
 
Pretty sure they're just getting ready to release the scores. We're suppose to be getting them tomorrow- I highly doubt that's going to change...


When I log into NBME, it says "Score Available Until" then nothing below it. Anyone else getting this? Anyone have a score yet?
 
Has anyone gotten their score back who took it in late May after they made changes? I still haven't gotten mine yet.

Mine says "available until" but it doesn't show any score. Anyone?
 
thought I'd play along since I visited this site often while studying for step. I took my test June 4th, averaged low 260s on practice... thought actual test felt a lot like the UWSAs, felt like my score could be between 250-270 after the exam... starting to feel like I may have failed haha.

Hey, I'm US and took it the same day as you. I just checked mine and it still says "Score Report is Not Available." I was hoping to get my score tomorrow, but since my page hasn't changed like others, I'm not so sure now...

Damn it. Well, I guess we may have to wait another week.. 🙁. Thanks for replying.

Awwww, bummer. It will be so hard to wait another week when almost everyone else will be getting theirs tomorrow. It may be different for IMG's though! Maybe since you have to check yours through a different site yours might still be released? Who knows. I'm planning to check again at midnight to see if maybe (hopefully!) mine changes. I think whether it changes or not though, the only sure way to know is when we get an email the morning of saying scores will be released that day. Good luck to you!

Best of Luck to you as well!! 🙂
 
To contribute to the madness - if it does allow me to schedule for another Step 1 examination and my score is coming out tomorrow and I have not run past my permit date - safe to say I failed? Or is the disulfiram taking its toll

I would like to know this as well! it lets me do it too so I really hope not! best of luck to everyone!
 
4- 6 more hours!! I don't know what I will stress about after I get my score. It has been such a huge part of my life haha
 
if I adjust my watch and make it 11 am now does that count? would they release my score? >>> yeah I am that desperate now
 
I'm a DO student, so I was one of the unfortunates who took 2 boards. I can say that right down to the score releasing the USMLE does a better job. I got my COMLEX score last week, and they gave us a week long period where are scores could be released. Then they finally released them at 5pm on the last day.

I was nauseous with anxiety.
 
Did anyone take it on June 26th? I had assumed that counted as "late June" but I've had no changes on my nbme page and I'm a little worried now after reading about people thinking it could mean they failed?! I was scoring at a 260 average over nbme 15-18...I really hope that no change on page doesn't mean failed exam...someone please put me out of my misery either way
