USMLE STEP 3 Trick Works!!

Members don't see this ad.

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).

I dont know seriously there are many question very weird and many cca cases done early and I missed many orders. I felt the cca response to my order very slow and the time runout. I felt this exam is harder than other steps

This is exact my feeling, cases were very slow, I had no time to exit 2 cases and to write multiple orders. I am just devastated. My UWS a week before exam was also low. I am also praying for the miracle with all my family. I hope never again. Will be happy for 196.

super lagging. Alot of my cases didn't end early. And there were 2 I couldn't figure out. Need a miracle for sure to pass. Don't feel like spending $800s more for the same exam again.

Yes! According to my experience during this past month being addicted to this forums and reading them over and over, we should get it this week.

Last exam on 9/1/18. Sunday AM permit link available but not accessible. Sunday PM permit link disappeared and FSMB site still showed status approved. Tuesday AM FSMB status is now expired, with gray-box-of-doom showing no interactive options to reapply. I guess tonight is the night! best of luck all!

 

[fecalith]

I still don’t get where the link would be.
Oh well we ll see tonight...!

 

[Abuzg]

The yellow reapply link would be inside the gray box underneath your information on the FSMB site

First time posting, sitting in my bed, can’t shut my brain off! @rianafox I’m in the same boat as you, took exams 8/27 & 8/30, eligibility ended on the 31st so it has been expired for a while. No yellow box so far... good luck everyone!

Permit disappeared. Satus expired. No yellow box
Anxiety through the roof
Exam 17/27
Few more hours......

 

[Salfahad]

Anxiety on the higher level

[Salfahad]

I have question guys, can i resend my score of step3 in ERAS after getting it directly from NBME or i have to wait the result release from FSMB then resend the score??

 

[fecalith]

less than an hour!
and good question @Salfahad .. same boat

Eras say after NBME or ECFMG. Didnt mention anything about FSMB. Do you think its early of programs to look to our score when we update it. Or they already downloaded the applications??

51 more minutes to go, two episodes of AoT will take me there ! Good luck all.

nowadays from what i was told ,programs dont download applications but receive data in real time , i guess meaning unless they have already rejected your app they will get anything new you post automatically.. i may be wrong!

[fatwalletuab]

[fecalith]

Anyone did uwas 1 or 2 and the score was similar?

uwsa 1 got 188 2 weeks out, uwsa 2 got 199 1 week out, nbme 5 (new one) 290 5 days before test... real score 213 with CCS close to high performance, so indeed ccs is make or break..

Dont worry, you will get it next time. You already have residency at least. I have been trying third time to match.

 

[fecalith]

Thanks, did you do archer and crush for ccs or only uworld?

i started archer but didn't finish it, went only through a few uworld cases , i mainly practiced with CCS cases , did all those 100 cases 2-3 times and it really worked, ccs really saved my exam

Hi,
Congratulations to all who passed the test. The difference of my and you score results is that my CCS is borderline. My score is 190. There is only one UWSA. Did you do it twice?
