I tested in Jan 2019 and the wait for the score report has been excruciating! I alternate between imagining best case and worst case scenarios and the most anxiety-inducing part of this whole experience is that no one knows EXACTLY how its graded- people claim to have done really well and fail, while others claim they screwed up a lot and still passed etc. Anyway, I figured I'd start this thread so all of us that are waiting for 03/06 can uplift and support each other during this difficult time (AKA misery loves company)

Yeah, quite rediculous variety of responses and experiences. Hard to believe any of them when someone with a huge list of mistakes passes yet someone who doesn’t know what they did wrong fails. God it’s been such a long wait. Ready to have a heart attack on Wednesday.

Lol, yeah. I think everyone has the same thing happening.

Heard it only works the Tuesday night before the Wednesday they release your score.

Not sure what people mean by permit disappeared. You mean this?

It is different for IMG. For AMG, on our NBME website there is a clickable link that opens your scheduling permit. For us, this link disappears the Monday before score reports go out. Thus, not permit link = getting scores this week. This is for AMG, I do not know how it works for IMG but I have read other IMG's say that their permits disappear way ahead of time and may be meaningless for them.

Ah I see. Makes sense. Didn’t know Amg’s freak out about this exam too
The trick was patched and only works the day of the score release now, so you can find out I think 1 AM EST instead of 10 AM EST

I know, dude. This is the absolute worst.
Congratulations to everyone who passed!
To anyone who may have failed: please take a breath and wait out the anxiety. It's a rough feeling, and it can overwhelm you. Tonight is not the time to do anything, but just come to terms with your situation. Tomorrow, think about next steps, whether that is speaking with your school, coming up with a plan, or getting the application started for a retake.
Do share if you have failed, as it validates the FCVS trick and gives more insight into this test.

I passed as well. This was my second attempt. To anyone who failed, I feel your pain. Send me a personal message and I would be happy to do what I can to talk you through it.
For the future testers, the FCVS trick worked for me at 1 am EST (the Tuesday prior to the release). It both showed that I was eligible to take Step 3 (through FSMB) and that I passed the test (in FCVS). In addition, my permit disappeared some time ago; I am unsure of the date or week for that matter.
