I figured maybe it's time to start a support group for those anxiously awaiting their scores. About me: I took the exam this past week. I'm a US student, did fairly ok on my school OSCE, but was very nervous for CS anyway because I had not seen a patient in over a month before taking the exam. Walked out feeling not bad, but so many mistakes have been hitting me the past few days and I have constant anxiety that I failed and dread the thought of possibly having to retake this thing!

Has anyone gotten an email "Your scores will be available today after..." I have yet to receive this info so figured I would not get it yet. Is this correct?

I took it 8/16, IMG. Honestly, this wait has taken off years from my life expectancy. Last night I thought I had a perforated ulcer... I hope everyone gets back their scores with good news. We all deserve it!

It looks like the IMG's are getting there scores before we are. They have a better system in place haha. I will be checking my emails AMG's and will let you know. Will also spam the nbme page. Congrats to all of the IMG's who have passed today. Have a drink on me!

Didn't get the email. Checked NLES website.. to find out I PASSED!!!

8/12 test date. AMG.

Ran out of time and got kicked out on one case. Two cases with absolutely no findings. One case with unusual patient behavior which I didn't pay attention to. Missed consulting obvious red flags in patient history. Still passed with comfortable margins with nothing touching the borderline.

AMG. Passed. Permit disappeared 3 days ago for what it's worth. Anyone know what residency programs see in terms of score report? Is it just Pass/Fail or can they also see the asterisk report on the second page?

I PASSED!!!!!

I had a death in the family about 2 weeks before my test and was NOT feeling it on exam day.

I ran out of time without even closing 3 of the 12 cases.
I missed some obvious differentials.

I ran out of time on one of the patient notes without having listed ANYTHING under diagnostic tests.

And I passed ICE without being borderline. Did slightly worse on CIS actually.

This is actually addressed at the top of that particular page of your score report. In somewhat big letters. No-- no one will see those bars.

Passed with nothing touching the grey!

AMG. Took mine on 8/21. I didn’t get an email either. I was convinced that I failed. For those of you with paranoia just like us, the odds really are in our favor!

Do programs see your performance on ICE, CIs, SEP? Does it matter if you have a parameter that touches the upper limit of borderline towards upper?

Passed as well. To everyone worried, please don't worry. This test is quite lenient.
