I am officially an IMG. I have always had my score reports sent to me in the mail. Now I was sent an email saying it was available on the ECFMG website. How long have scores been reported on the web?

Not sure about the ECFMG website, but CK scores were released at 11 AM today.

I think scores have been given as PDFs on the ECFMG website for at least 5 years now. All of the IMGs I know who got score reports ~05-06 had them delivered via OASIS and never got a hard copy in the mail. I think with such a large number of IMGs taking the Steps overseas, it isn't reasonable for them to mail actual documents internationally a few thousand times a week.

Why would you want to wait even longer to wait for your score to come in the mail?

I have been sitting on my score since it showed up on the ECFMG website dec 23rd. Cant find the courage to open it.

Aw, I remember how nervous I was about opening my scores too. If you can't bear to look, maybe you can ask someone else to look for you? It might be easier to hear it from someone else.
Another way to look at it is, even if it turns out to be bad news, the sooner you know about it, the sooner you can start to prepare to do better next time if necessary.
However, I definitely hope it's good news!

Thank you for your encouragement Peppy. I am 85% sure I passed. But I did not answer 7-10 questions first block; and a few on another two blocks. I did a prometric practice test 3 weeks before and got 71%. But my NBME 10 days before was a 183 and my NBME 7 days before was a 186. I need a 189. so how many points can one go up in 7 days. In the last 7 days I crammed my weaknesses. But I remember changing too many right answers to wrong answers (naloxone to methadone); and what gene is Prader Willy on (chr15 vs chr 7).

I was surprised at the amount of undergrad psychology on my exam...thelarche vs pubarche etc.

In essence, I feel like I passed. and if I did, I would have a job and get paid and all that jazz.

And if I did not, well I would have to move to another state that would let me take it again. Not good when both my parents were hospitalized the past year and almost died.

If I pass, it will be the biggest accomplishment of my life. Only having children would be more important.

So I am on pins and needles. I really should have studied another few weeks, but I took on the last day of my eligibility period. I would have had pay to take it all over again if I had not taken it then. And since I am stuck between being rich and poor, it was better to just take it..right? lol...

Yeah, I agree it was better to get it over with!
Putting things off just makes the anxiety worse.
That's kind of why I think you should just have someone else look at the scores if you can't bring yourself to do it. The outcome is already decided now, and putting it off won't change it, so it's best to just get it over with. Even if it turns out that you didn't pass, there are other people out there who have had to deal with that kind of situation and still made it through okay, so you'll be okay too.
