yes, so it's either

1) they've patched everything and a portion of us will be getting scores at 11ish EST
2) nobody's getting their score this week for whatever reason

well thanks everyone for being around

This is so stupid... The site clearly says the "vast majority" will get their scores tomorrow. I checked both NBME and USMLE Twitter accounts, and there's nothing. The LEAST they could do is keep us updated as to what's going on.

I have to assume they patched things and some people will be getting scores tomorrow morning. I took it late so I won't be surprised if I get my score back late as well.

Blank on FCVS and the permit is still there for me too.

Man, is this frustrating. Have they ever straight up skipped the first week of the reporting period before?

I’m also going to hope that they might have only patched this for CS, and that this isn’t some unforeseen delay. They’ve had plenty of time.

This is so bizarre. I have no idea how I am still able to coherently type a post (7 am in Europe) but - I was expecting both CK and CS today. My CK status changed to Pass, my CS status has not changed. Also yesterday it seemed like the Step 3 application trick worked for people with CK only but not for CS... so I guess we all have to wait till the actual score release and hope we are among the "vast majority"... or for some reason nobody is getting it this week...

That’s crazy I think they would have given us heads up about delays already and now everyone is figuring out the trick so that’s why it’s not working anymore ??? Idk I just need my results in the next few hours, it’s been long enough omg it’s almost November I took this think in July ....it’s nerve wrecking

Waiting for CS has been orders of magnitude worse than waiting for Step 1, CK, and every other medical school test combined. If only because the cost of failing is so incredibly high and because it’s so opaque and random that there’s no real way to improve or even identify what you did wrong. The only bright spot is that when we are in charge we can hopefully stand up against this nonsense and expose it for what it is. Our forebears are spinning in their graves thinking about what these administrators get away with doing to the future of this profession.

I think I read on the website at some point that they are testing some new algorithm starting this month that will auto score parts of the written portion. Dunno if that is what is effecting things.

Doesn't make any sense that they would patch the step 3 trick ONLY for CS. I think we should probably just assume no scores today.

We, everyone on this thread, are a small subset of the total amount of people who tested, less than 1% I'd say. It's very possible that we aren't in the "vast majority" and we get our exam results later. More likely is that our results show up later today. I'm sure everyone did well, and if not, like I said before own it and keep it moving.

I don't want to be pessimistic but since....

1. most people permit not disappear
2. FCVS didn't show result at 1 am

these are 2 signs that we're not getting result this Wednesday and I think we all have to wait another week :(

If it makes anyone feel better last year there were 9 people in the class above me that failed CS who all matched their number 1. Some of their programs just said to have a passing score before orientation...

My CK score has arrived a minute ago but no sign of CS yet! It is starting to look more and more like we will have to wait another week :(

It doesn't make sense to me that a random sampling of people wouldnt be in the vast majority though. What are the odds that everyone on this forum is in the minority of test takers that gets their score late?

And also if there was some kind of a general delay in score reporting, I would imagine there would also be an announcement somewhere on the USMLE website (or ECFMG/NBME)... haven't seen anything so far.

I was thinking that too - I think they'd have to move back day 1 of the reporting period and let us know

Also nothing. US-MD here. Don't IMGs get their scores at 8am EST or something?

does it have to be every wed from here on out? or is it possible for it to come tomorrow ?

Seems to be every Wed but who knows with these people? If it does not happen today with no announcement or anything then clearly they will do whatever they want.

This is straight up professional irresponsibility. This test does not take 2.5 months to grade for those of us that took it early. And they still need more time? Without notification for a delay? Ridiculous.

My paranoid self just went on the usmle website and called a Contact number on there. There are no delays. Score reporting does start today .....Lady said 11am EST scores should start getting released by ECFMG. If u don’t get an email from ECFMG by the end of the day then ur results will come out at on another Wednesday of the testing period. I guess we gata wait for 11 and see .....
