woah woah, slow down. The permit should be in the log in page with the squares that say "Apply, schedule, prepare, score" right? I don't see the permit there (I forgot where it was).

Damn...my gut just dropped!

I've been refreshing it today on account of you guys, and I'm pretty sure mine just disappeared since the last time I refreshed it 10 minutes ago -- now it says "scheduling not available" and "score report is not available" where I think there previously was no text at all. Wishful thinking maybe to hope to get my score only 2.5 weeks (the 3rd wednesday) after?? :scared:
mine disappeared 6/22 lol. i thought it wasn't coming till 7/17 EEK

nvm idk if my score is coming this week. just realized my permit expired on june 30th and thus the permit could've been missing this entire time.
 
I have some TTA around T1-T4 and my heart has decided to shift into maximum overdrive. All the sports i played as a kid didnt set off a possible underlying HCM, but this just might.

HCM? nothing a little counterstrain can't fix :angelic:
You and me both
I am probably not going to know until the evening... How to handle that?!

I really need to relax about tomorrow but don’t know how. There’s lots of books out there but they’re so low yield.

Any premade anki decks over a good self help book out there?

Same. I mean, I could sneak off during clinic tomorrow at 11 AM when they're released but I've heard horror stories of those people freaking out during the rotation and having to hide in the bathroom lol. Don't want that. So I'm going to wait until I get home in the evening as well. Which really means I'll be checking in the car on the way home

I just gave my account to my wife, she changed the PW, changed the email. She will be all day in the field collecting data for her PhD. And she is just going to be smiling and saying something like "it's not going to change whether I check it now or after dinner". :blackeye: It seemed like a good idea a month ago.

Honest question, what does permit disappearing actually mean? Mine disappeared like 10 days after taking the test and I still had another 20 days of June ahead for my eligibility period

I think its because theyve had your score ready for weeks because they already knew the only score they could give you was a 300 as you got every question right

Jk jk, i dont think permit dissapearing means as much as we think it does. I think its just been a long history of looking for patterns in the scoring process and we think we understand it but it may actually just mean nothing

love the new avatar.
Just watched midsommar, 275/280, would recommend to ease anxiousness. I won't know until tomorrow night folks. Let the good news roll in at 11!

Saw it last weekend. Great movie. I didn't have the balls to pass control my wife. I'll be spamming the refresh button on my email starting at 8a. My great act of self control will be not drinking until Friday

Protip, making an account on FSMB.org then going to licensing and exams, then clicking fcvs and filling out the info up until "exam history" will show if you passed (aka if you'll hear back today). It was updated with your pass/fail status at 1am this morning.
Thank you neurotic reddit.

Yeah, did this. Honestly this was more of a nerve wracking check than I think the score number will be.... Just wanted to make sure there was no fluke!

Good luck today.
Anyone else wanting to keep it as Schrodinger's score where it is simultaneously a 270 and a fail until you actually check it .

Why is 11am so far away? Why do I have to be a morning person and get up at 6 every day? Why am I so excited about all of this even though I’m not even one getting my score today ?

I continue:

Why are we even taking these exams? Why did we get into med school? What is the purpose of life?

The current state of SDN med student forums:
DO - help, I can not match anything but fam med by gatekeeping MDs and self hating DO's
Step - help, refresh, anxious gifs
MD - how can I keep my cat happy in med school?

Seems like it's only IMG's thus far. No reports from USMG having their scores I believe.
