224, my NBME 2 weeks before said 223.
I'm a US DO and didn't get an email, just the website. I took it June 11.Any usmd people receive their scores on the nbme website or any emails about score release? June 12th taker hearing crickets here
Have you gotten the email yet that your score report will be released soon? Took the exam May 22 and have not gotten the email yet
Congrats! Were your practice test scores pretty representative?226! As DO I graciously accept!!!
I'm guessing that you mean June! I took mine on 6/28 and didn't get a score today. My buddy took hers on 6/18 and got a score today. Fingers crossed the late June people get scores next week!So those who took it July 22nd to July 29th should get their scores next week or is it the following week?
It seems like those who did take it mid July got their scores back so maybe the following two weeks would get it back sooner? Idk if that made sense lol
Not sure if any one said but scores are up. Mine came in at 10 amdid they specify what time exactly tomorrow also? i am also freaking out now lol
Okay guys score is back:
From memory my NBMEs were
UWSA1: 205
NBME 16: 205
NBME 17: 225
NBME 15: 221
NBME 19: 232
UWSA2: 237
NBME 18: 230
REAL SCORE: 218
I've already cried. I think I was an outlier. I had a horrible form and panicked. Half of my test was neuro and pharm which are my worst subjects. Anyway..... I want to do internal med.... and even the national average for internal med is way higher than my score. Anyway....I'm glad I passed but doing that much worse than the national average really hurts if I'm being completely honest. Congrats to everyone else who got their scores and did well today.
The average is 233 for IM bc the average step 1 nationally is 230 and so many students choose IM. 218 in no way stops you from doing IM.Okay guys score is back:

DO student here, had about 7 weeks of dedicated, used USMLERx, UWorld, Pathoma (did ~2/3 of it...), Sketchy (did all of micro and ~1/3 of pharm), and First Aid for reference. A little Anki towards the last 3 weeks that consisted entirely of my own cards made up of UWorld misses.
Real exam: 256
UWorld first and only pass: 76%
NBME 15 (8 wks out): 230
NBME 16 (4 wks out): 223
NBME 17 (3wks out): 232
UWSA 1 (2.5 wks out): 264
NBME 19 (1.5 wks out): 248
Free 120 (1 wk out): 87%
NBME 18 (4 days out): 252
UWSA 2 (3 days out): 258
NBME 18 and UWSA2 were the most predictive, and I took those within a few days of the real thing, so I guess that makes sense.
I don't have any secrets, or tricks, or great tips. But, as a DO student, don't get psyched out by people saying how hard it is compared to COMLEX or that its way more difficult than what we learn in class, and any other stuff. Just study hard. Best of luck to those waiting.
Long time lurker, but I am posting for the first time.
NBME 13 (4 weeks out): 223
NBME 17 (3 weeks out): 248
NBME 18 (2 weeks out): 248
NBME 15 (1 week out): 263
Free 117: 91%
UWORLD 1st pass (timed, random, testing conditions): 84% (started from 78% at the beginning)
Did not use the UWSAs because they weren’t included in my subscription and I knew they would over-predict.
REAL DEAL: 263!!
Got my score:
UWSA 1 = 230
UWSA 2 = 226
Actual Step 1 = 210
U-World %ages - 64% first time through, and then was averaging 73-74% my second time through.
After I left the exam, I was PRAYING I passed... so GOD IS GOOD.
BUT... this just goes to show you don't know wtf can happen on test day.
Maybe I got screwed and got one of the harder forms?
Maybe I just dropped the damn ball by not doing any NBMEs?
Who knows.
Trying to figure out whether I can get either FM or IM and pretty much shutting out everything else at this point.
It is what it is.
Could be worse!
Still waiting for my COMLEX scores which I'm sure will be much higher than the USMLE.
USMLE made the COMLEX look like a practice quiz lol
Good luck to all of y'all that still gotta take it.
Work hard and just try to know as much as you can!
Any advice on what specialties for a US DO student with a 210 Step 1 would be appreciated!!!
UWorld first pass, entirely untimed on tutor mode: 80% (did maybe a quarter of my incorrects before saying **** it and moving my test up)
NBME 17, 18 and 19: 252
UWSA 1 and 2: 262
Just got my score back at 260. I'm barely holding it together. Do I do derm now or IR? Kidding, but really this created more questions than answers.

No. Nobody has ever matched plastics with a 246. You are screwed. Shoulda gotten 4 more Qs right.Absolutely distraught - 1Q, AOA candidate, plenty of publication work just found out my score and ...... 246.
Do I have any shot at a plastic surgery residency now? I am so disappointed.
217. Way worse than my practice tests! I'm trying to stay positive but have a knot in my stomach.
I really want a solid IM residency. Do I still have a decent shot at that?
