The results will be right around the corner, I thought Id make this thread for those expecting their results and to posts their results pass or not pass.
 
Got my e-mail at 10:55 and the actual score at 11:05 (passed!). Took mine in Houston. I think the release is random.

Also, waiting for this test was in some ways scarier than for Step 1. At least with Step 1 you have UWSA/NBMEs to give you some idea of how you'd do, and it was only a 3 week wait.
 
June test date
Philly
Results came back today: Passed with all sections in Higher Performance.
Prep time: 2 full days (15-16 hours total)
Prep material: FA Step 2 CS book (glanced at it), more importantly read the official NBME booklet on the website and watched the video
 
Took it June 25th in LA

Didn't prep with another student at all. Just read first aid 1.5 times.

Was scared I failed and the fact that I paid over 2200 for the trip out to LA

But I passed

Feeling like a Boss

This thing is scary! I prepped really well, and I was still in the borderline. Still have no clue what got me there, but maybe I could have done a better job with the physical exams or been more thorough with the exams. I felt like my notes were excellent though.
