I’m actually surprised a lawsuit (even class action) hasn’t been pursued considering all LCME-accredited schools are required to have a 4th OSCE which should be able to be used in lieu of Step 2 CS. This is especially true considering you get more comprehensive feedback from your school and SPs and not worthless XXXs.
It should be this week. Some people didn’t have their permits disappear until Monday though. Also it seems the FCVS trick has been patched.
EDIT: I was able to email my Dean several hours before release to find out.

I’m sure most will come out this week! Good luck everyone!
Permit gone for me as of sometime this afternoon. Sat exam 9/18. Eligibility expires in February. Does permit going away mean score this week or does it indicate a pass?
It may disappear tonight or even tomorrow still. I hope you don’t have to wait
I hope not. I wonder if the NBME is aware of what they are putting the M4s through right now. I don’t mean that to be nasty, I know they have a lot of stuff to get through. Just seems like some adjustments could be made at a systems level to be more fair to everyone involved in this process.
Likely just means score is coming this week, not necessarily an indicator of a pass

I asked my dean that question last week and he said “you’re reading too much into this.” Nothing makes me feel better though.
Unfortunately it's still there for me too. At this point very likely we will have to wait another week which means we would get it back on Christmas Eve. Imagine finding out a bad result on Christmas Eve. NBME is evil and they need to be stopped.
Best of luck to all of you who are still waiting this week! There are many theories/worries of what makes it more or less likely to have passed (incl. getting it back early/late, permit disappearing etc). These are all not in any way proven and based on hearsay that has been circulating around the internet for years.
A more realistic theory is the following: we all care enough to spend time on this forum worrying about it. More so than the majority of folks who take the exam, who do not come on here. Hence, it is also likely that the fact that you are on here, increases the likelihood that you have passed, as you probably also cared more about preparing for the exam than most.
Seriously. This wait is horrible - but it will be worth it when you get your highly likely PASS through. Hang in there all!

Took my exam on 10/5, in Philly. Didn't receive my result last Wednesday, still have "Print Permit" option as of today...anyone in the same boat? The wait is just awful...
I hear you. I took at the beginning of this cycle and had to wait the full 13 weeks which was just awful.
It's working for me but my result isn't out yet.
FCVS trick didn't work for AMGs last week. I think it was patched. I could apply for Step 3 and got my results via the NBME website long before FCVS was updated (it was some time that night or the next day)
I'm not an AMG. I heard it still worked for IMGs
It does! People reported right at 1pm EST
What time were the actual scores up last week. I know the emails lagged.
Took my exam in Philly on 10/22. Still have my permit available. Dying just a bit.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but what does it mean if the majority (like 8/12) of SP's don't have a challenge question? Like when I asked at the end "Do you have any questions for me?", I would get a plain "no" most of the times. The ones that had a question were something like "can I get a note for school?" or "can you please not tell my coach?".
Did I piss them off or did I actually answer their questions during the encounter?

I got my formal email an hour after my score had already posted.
Score posted exactly at 11am
