Can you guys list the date of the test and the date when you got the score report?

The reporting periods vary widely (almost 2 months in some cases) so I'm trying to get a feel for it.

thanks!
 
You can see the reporting schedule on the usmle website:

http://www.usmle.org/Examinations/step2/step2cs_reporting.html

I got my score on the very first day of the reporting period (technically at midnight EST) which was March 26th (I took it in the last week of Jan). Supposedly most scores come in on the first day of the reporting period.

If you take it at the beginning of the testing period, you can't get it any sooner than about 3 months; if you take it at the end of the testing period, you might get it as soon at 1 month. Take a look at the reporting schedule on the USMLE website, and you'll see what I mean.
