Doublebogey...I was at work when I saw your post. been coming here everyday to see if results are out. After I saw your post I refreshed my email and there it was. Thanks for the heads up. It took me an hour to write 1 note at work today after seeing this and getting the result.

Same situation, but my results are not out yet. You are so lucky to have them released soon. This is killing me.

I have such a blaze attitude about this whole thing. Ive spent the last 3 weeks stressing about 2 board exams and my official status on my dream fellowship and I still don't know a single outcome. I'm done stressing and going to enjoy this pint of Halo Top Peanut Butter ice cream (Deeelish!) as I fight my viral illness. Lol

It's nice to see people with a good sense of humour about this whole charade.

Back in the day (you were all probably still trying to decide which MCAT prep to use), I got my ABIM result in the mail...like the one that the dude/lady in blue and gray brings...and I waited nearly 3 weeks before I got around to opening it.

Amazingly, I still passed.
 
Very random. Know of somebodyvwho took it last day and failed. Already got email. I took it first day still waiting. God....!!!!!! I have afib. Taking eliquis prophylactically

Golden times! 3 weeks... that's pretty impressive.

You must be really confident about your result.

Clearly you are not a member of the MySpace/Facebook/Millennial generation. We want it NOW
 
I was told by program director at one point.
"if you PASS, these results don't mean anything, but if you FAIL, they mean everything.

i think it might be alphabetical
the three ppl in my program that got their results so far got them in alphabetical order, not sure if thats coincidental, but last name K just got his like 20 min ago

OMG, so nerve wrecking, people who have passed, did they score really high?wondering if it's not alphabetical, is it according to score or just randommmm. I agree it will be impossible to sleep tonight.

May be a way for abim to shut ppl calling repeatedly for results. Don't think they are giving accurate info but seriously this is the stupidest decision for the 1500$ collected as fees. These ppl should be sued if anyone gets anxiety triggered ER visit

Seriously, it's so frustrating that they'd release scores like this. Like someone else said, time to upgrade the damn servers! I guess all that extra money is being used toward vacation homes in Hawaii... 😎
