Official ABIM Exam/study tools thread!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I went through my score report, questions missed. The test is quite forgiving. A few silly mistakes will not cause you to fail.
 
did anyone receive their scores and not pass at this point? I do not mean to be insensitive, but could help those who are waiting
 
Same here, 8/17 test taker...have been refreshing my email like crazy for the last day

I'm just gonna say it, ABIM is probably going to cause me develop tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy. I am about one neuron away from stroking out completely.
 
8/16 taker here, and my results aren't back either. Seems to be earlier test takers are the main ones left on this board.
 
did anyone receive their results already and not pass?
 
Pass or Fail
So easy right?
No.. worth 2-3 months plus plus hours
 
My result letter was dated 10/5, someone reported their letter was marked 10/3 - weird

Really,,??? Its so weird of them.. They are playing with our emotions . I don't know their reasons, but this is not fair..
 
That means I have failed then.. If they have not released results this far. I am slowly loosing hope.
 
did you take it in a different time and place than the rest of your class?

No. In fact a smarter resident, with an earlier alphabetic name took it in the same room/day as me. Almost all of us took it in Augusta. Two in DC, one in Texas

I know of somebody that failed and received the email yesterday. Very random process
 
got it just now. Just did Mksap 3 times , board basics 3 times and awesome review one time. Everything went well. Score around 520 (passing score is 370). USMLE step 2 CK score 235 , not a very stellar resident but able to pass ABIM exam. ITE percentile 30 in second year. Did not do uworld .One of my friends said u world is a lot more like actually exam. But I did not regret it after exam and still passed easily. Hope this helps.

Congrats
 
Literally I have replied everyone in this forum, replying to their results. Eagerly waiting for my turn
 
Just spoke to a gentleman in abim. He told me scores were coming out randomly, no pattern, and to give a 48 hour window for all scores to be sent out.

48hrs from the start time?? or 48hrs from today.
 
Am at work and my battery is down to 40%
Just about to give up on refreshing my mail..
This is so absurd
 
Hospitalist here. The combination of the first day on service plus waiting for results is going to give me Takosubos
 
PASSED!
Email received today around 1pm.
Did MKSAP 17 two times + BB also 2 times.
Was enough to get a very good score 🙂

Best of luck to everybody!
