Score on CORE exam and job prospects

Assuming one passes, does the score one obtains on the radiology CORE exam during residency matter? I obviously want to study hard to become a solid radiologist and clinician, but will my score affect job prospects?

literally no one I ever worked with cared. Neither did fellowships.

No. That is not information requested by fellowships or jobs.

yeah no one cares

and no one knows what the number they give you means anyway

Is there a percentile?

not on the score report. my program director offered to us to tell us what quartile we were in for each section, but I didn't care enough to have that conversation. so presumably PDs have more info but the score report you get is just nonsensical numbers with a bar graph and passing threshold lines

Can you still get a jo without passing the core exam? Or is it required to be passed before starting a job
