The "trick" still works. Here's how it played out for me:

-NBME (apps.nbme.org) permit link disappeared early Sunday AM
-FSMB (usmle.fsmb.org) changed from "active" to "expired" early Monday AM with no link to reapply

Score report was available Wednesday 12:00 am Eastern Time on NBME (https://apps.nbme.org).

Step 1: <210
CK: >250
UWSA 1: 207
Real deal: 240!!!!!!!

After I was having constant thoughts that I failed for three weeks. Guessed on most of the basic science on day 1. Day 2 MC were better but I thought I bombed CCS.l (one case I had no idea what was going on and lasted forever 2 I gave the wrong treatment, another I did an invasive test). I would definitely recommend watching the ********** free video on YouTube because that schema of placing orders must have saved me even when I had no idea what was going on.

[D/C]

[PEMHopefully]

Did the status change to expired for those expecting their mark this week?

mine hasn’t yet, and I took it on 12/10 and 12/12.

 

[drsf2]

Any help, anyone?

 

[D/C]

My status is still approved has not changed yet. May be the status will change tomorrow

 

[Dr larynx]

Last month, my permit disappeared on Sunday and, on Monday changed to expired but I got my result on Tuesday 24th Dec, so I think for you guys will be expired on Tuesday. Trick worked for me and no link to reapply.

Hopefully you will pass
Good luck

When did you take your test? Mine was 12/16 and 12/18, when should I expect to have permit disappearance and results? Thanks

 

[PEMHopefully]

Does anyone know what time the status changes to expired?

 

[Alhamid]

Mine was in December 18th and 23rd, Should I expect my results this week? The status is still approved and the permit link still appears

I took exam with day 2 dec 17. this week is Wednesday 4. however my FSMB still says "approved" does this mean I am not getting score back this week?

Do you have the permit link on fsmb?

 

[MadeItThisFar]

"Expired" just showed up at 3:50AM on Tuesday morning Jan 7th with no yellow box!!

 

[MadeItThisFar]

I'm assuming this is a good sign based on everything I've read.

 

[PTFoolUS]

Nope

 

[PTFoolUS]

When did you take it?

 

[MadeItThisFar]

When did you take it?

12/6 and 12/9

And I'm borrowing this from another previous post but want to share because it is helping bring me some relief:

Expired + no yellow box = pass

However, this MAY not be true if you are still in the 3-mont Eligibility Period. Seems people who got surprised (i.e., the "trick" didn't work) saw "Expired" plus no yellow box but the yellow box appeared once their score report posted at midnight. They were still within the 3-month eligibility period, however.

 

[D/C]

My status is now expired with no yellow box. My eligibility is expired as well.

I hope I will hear something great tomorrow

 

[D/C]

The FCVS trick doesn’t work for Step 3. The result status is still empty

 

[maya0101]

the wait is killing me. status is expired with no link. But read online that this year the gray box changed to yellow for some right after midnight tuesday. I have never been this anxious ever in my life.

From everything I've read (and I read quite a bit while I couldn't sleep a wink last night) that is only true for folks who are still within the eligibility period. If you are outside that window you should be fine. 🙈

And, for what it's worth, I cannot register for the test again. Hoping that bodes well.
