Did your eligibility end on 6/30?

Yes. YES. Is that why?

 

[Lannister]

Yes. YES. Is that why?

Yeah 🙁 so you won't get your score this week.

 

[AlexPol]

Are you also registered with ecfmg?

Yes, ECFMG

 

[throwaway9999999999]

Yes, ECFMG

Same man. Took it 5/22, I think ours hasn’t started to disappear

 

[Lannister]

I wish my eligibility wouldn't have ended, sucks not knowing for sure if I'm getting mine this week.

You took it on 6/2. Pretty sure that is “early June” so you’re getting it this Wednesday whether you want to or not.

🙂

Oh I 100% want to haha. It's just that people saying "well they said July 11th was only a target date, not a guarantee" is making me paranoid.

 

[donovank730]

Here is what the permit disappearing looks like since people always ask

 

[coldcase331]

I wish my eligibility wouldn't have ended, sucks not knowing for sure if I'm getting mine this week.

I took 6/15, and @21Rush12 took it 6/18, both of ours are gone. I'd say you're in the clear

 

[MerYangBey]

Mine disappeared too. I checked earlier today and it was up. Took it 6/20

I hope you guys are on to something with this permit thing lol.

 

[QueenJames]

Oh ****.

Permit link is gone.

Please pray for me.

 

[Chemstudent]

So does permit disappearing mean you passed as well?

 

[throwaway12341234]

YES PERMIT IS FINALLY GONE!!!! (took test 5/10, eligibility until 7/31). 9 weeks later and step score is finally on its way!!!

 

[docksan]

5/18, NBME, permit gone.

 

[Eyeh8bullies]

Echoing Chemstudent: if your permit disappears, does that mean you passed?

 

[Lannister]

Echoing Chemstudent: if your permit disappears, does that mean you passed?

I've read once or twice that it does mean you passed. Not 100% sure if that's correct though.

 

[throwaway9999999999]

With ECFMG took it 5/22 and expiry date 7/30. Mine disappeared.

 

[bananasewq]

Does permit disappearing mean that you have passed Step 1?

 

[QueenJames]

whose permit hasn't disappeared yet?

 

[pericardium]

Took step 6/18, permit disappeared. Registered through NBME

 

[AlexPol]

Mine too. Magic begins

 

[21Rush12]

For those whose permit disappeared, when did you take the exam?

I took it 6/18 (Monday) and it’s gone!

 

[Integral]

So everyone’s permit is gone? Lol

 

[AFishAnt]

Took it 6/24 (Sunday) and my permit is not gone

 

[docksan]

So everyone’s permit is gone? Lol

I have heard of some who took it early and still have it.

 

[Dr. USMLE]

Best wishes for all of you waiting on your scores!

 

[Lannister]

I have heard of some who took it early and still have it.

It seems like historically permits disappeared through Monday, so hope is not lost!

 

[Foot Fetish]

My permit is gone. I took it on 6/11.

 

[Integral]

Looks like "early June" meant up to about 6/15, maybe 6/18.

 

[Dr Tony T. Chopper]

Yep, took mine 6-15 and permit is gone

Saw one of your older posts about how you felt like the test was doable and straightforward coming out, I felt the same thing and freaked out a bit because most others seem to have gotten much harder test forms.

I took it on 6/15 and I did not think it was doable and straightforward so you should be more than okay.

Yeah, like either 1) it was not as easy as I thought, or 2) it was as easy as I thought, which means the curve is going to be insane. I've said this before but I think my memories of how difficult it was might be clouded by the fact that I was so incredibly happy to be done after the test. Like I felt great walking out just because I knew I was done with step, and now I'm confusing that with feeling great about how the test went.

Same mine was the second reason. I was just so happy I was done I didn’t have a clue how much I messed up.

Yeah now that you bring it up, I might have just been stoked to finish and that probably gave me a false feeling of an easy test. I’ve spent some time the following week thinking back to many guessing moments and trying to convince myself that it actually WASNT an “easy” test.

 

[deleted407021]

Took it 6/29 and my permit link is still there. Of course it's still only a week and 2 days out.

 

[shaolinr4]

Isn't the test adaptive? Doesn't that mean that everyone's exam is going to be unique to a certain degree?

If by adaptive you mean like the NCLEX where they give you more/different questions if you're doing ****ty then no, I don't think so. I've always thought the questioned you get are pre-determined before you even start the exam.

 

[Nurse_Elk1ns]

are we sure they get released on wed's only? Was hoping to just get it tomorrow

 

[echidna001]

I have heard of some who took it early and still have it.

My permit has not disappeared yet. Took it 6/1. Eligibility ends 7/31. Don't know what to make of that.

 

[Lannister]

LOL stop I can't handle this much anxiety.

 

[star.buck]

My button is gone too, as is a friend’s. My eligibility expired June 30, the friend’s on July 31st. We both took the exam the second full week in June.

 

[bararaboi]

We're sure! The announcement on the USMLE's website said that they'd resume score reporting this Wednesday, the 11th.

are we sure they get released on wed's only? Was hoping to just get it tomorrow

 

[star.buck]

Does anyone know what time of day the scores are usually released? Debating on finding a spot to hide to check it on my phone, or just waiting til I get home (probably best, in case I need to cry )

Yeah Im not going to check it until I get home. I don't want to be a mess during my rotation.

 

[maybedeadcat]

When you guys say that your scheduling permit disappeared, do you mean that it says "scheduling is not available" in the schedule box thing?

My eligibility period ends on 7/31 but I took the test on 5/31 so I'm really hoping I can just find out already :|

 

[docksan]

It turns into a blank box that just says "details". All the buttons disappear.

 

[throwaway9999999999]

Guys when the permit on IWA disappears, do you see a message about form 186 or the print portion is completely blank?

If you check previous page, donovank posted a pic of what it should look like under schedule once permit button disappear...all it is left is your test date, prometric number and scheduling is not available
