Question about step scores

Members don't see this ad.

Considering we need to wait 3 Wednesdays to get the score back, does anyone know if exams sat mid- or late-December have a delay in score retrieval over the holidays (i.e. for my December 14th exam, should I count on January 2nd or 9th for the score back?)?

Bump

(or maybe someone knows of a source where I can find this info...?)

Thanks so much.

Good question - I'm taking mind toward the end of December and am also curious....

Just an update for anyone who views this thread in the future:

Took Step Dec. 14th and have not received the score by the fourth Wednesday (January 9th).

I guess if you take the exam before the holidays/New Year, expect the result after FIVE Wednesdays.

The USMLE website says that scores are not ever released the Wednesday after Christmas, so this might account for your delay.

Thanks for the FYI. I took the exam 12/20 so yesterday was the third Wednesday, but I guess I won't hold my breath.

I made a phone call last night. They told me to check again on the fifth Wednesday = the 16th.

Well I know for a fact no STEP1 test are administered during the first two weeks of January. I dont know how but that may effect when scoring is released?
Adding to holidays including Dec 24-25 and Dec 31-Jan 1st could all add up in a delay.
I've been calling for updates daily now.

Just as an update, got my scores today. So 4th Wednesday.

I got them yesterday as well. Fifth Wednesday for me.
