Anyone else waiting for score release on January 29th 2020? 7.5 weeks is a long time especially when you made dumb mistakes on the exam and you begin doubting if you truly passed or not. This wait is a killer.

I doubt the NBME “patched” it they probably also have no idea why it didn’t work last month. They couldn’t care less, as long as u pay the $$$$$.

Regarding resubmitting scores - this Radiology PD says they don’t recheck CS after interview and doubts others do...also seen many reports of matching (AMG) without passing CS even in IM. But still probably safer to resubmit(?). Thinking too much into it. I hope I passed....

Hey RadiologyPD! I apologize if you've mentioned this in the thread previously, but any advice to those applying rads after an unsuccessful match in an alternate specialty the cycle before? Currently doing a TY, failed to match PM&R last cycle. I have a brief blurb about it in my PS, but most...

Pretty sure you can’t certify your rank list without passing CS. It’s one of the requirements I believe.

You can definitely certify your rank list without CS as mine has been certified since it opened. Verifying it is a different thing as that is dependent on your school. So if your haven’t passed CS your school may not verify you as it may be a graduation requirement.

I saw another thread about this. If you are an IMG you need to have passed CS before the rank list deadline because you need it for ECFMG certification. If you are not ECFMG certified by then you get withdrawn from the match. AMGs don't have this issue because they don't need ECFMG certification and thus can match without a passing CS score.

Didn’t know this, hope it’s a moot point for me but regardless hope it’s true.

Not gonna lie, been dreading this release. I think my opinion on my performance in the exam has gotten worse daily.

I don't think. I KNOW my opinion of my performance on this exam has gotten worse daily. I can just not stop going over everything I did wrong that day. To make matters worse, the person I practiced with ended up failing and having to retake it. I'm now legit terrified of what it will mean for my chances of matching and graduating this year if I don't pass. I was convinced I'd failed Step 1 and Step 2 CK (I passed them), but this is a whole other level. Plus I was nearly always in the bottom 5% on my school's OSCEs, even though I somehow miraculously passed my school's mock CS.

Lol my school OSCE score report actually said fail on it but nobody ever contacted me and it’s a “P” on my transcript haha.

They failed me for communication stuff which I passed comfortably on first CS. Passed comfortably on clinicals, failed ICE. Both total BS.

IMG. Holy **** I'm crying. I wasn't gonna check cause I was worried if I failed I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. I had so much riding on this exam. My school only allows 3 attempts at CS and its a graduation requirement. If I had failed and then been down to the last attempt to pass or forfeit my entire degree, a passing step 1 and ck, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Guys honestly I made so many mistakes, I started top down on my note for this attempt and so my supporting evidence and investigations were really rushed. Barely had any work up. Bare bones physical exams. I walked out of there shook and somehow passed according to FCVS. Have hope you guys!!. I have never been so stressed. For almost 2 months I couldn't do anything else but think about this test. I never felt like this after step 1 or CK where I walked out feeling fine.

To AMG's: Did you "Print Permit" disappear on the NBME website? And is this a sure sign that scores are coming out this week? If my "Print Permit" hasn't disappeared, does this mean I'll have to wait until next week?

Mine has. For Step 1 and Step 2 CK, my scores came out the Wednesday after it happened. And people's stories from prior CS threads also indicate that this is the case.

Do we really think USMLE will delay the step 2 scores by 8 weeks for people that took the exam the first week of June?
