I have been getting terrible migraines and want to reschedule my test. However, if you cancel your test the day of Step 2CK or just don't show up, will this show up on my ERAS as a test I didn't show up for?

I tried searching the NBME website but couldn't find a specific answer. Thanks in advance all as I only have a few hours.

Edit: what I am asking is will my score report on ERAS show a Step 2CK without a test score? Thanks.

The only thing that shows up on your transcript is the results of any of the tests you took I believe. So if you cancel it, I think that nothing shows up. You will likely lose quite a bit of $$$ though. However, if you are feeling ill, it's better to lose some $$ than fail the exam in my opinion. Don't not show up, cancel it if you must.
 
I'm pretty sure you have the option of taking the entire test and if you think you did poorly, not submitting it, paying the $500 and taking it again later. But I think that this would show up on your transcript that you sat for the exam but chose not to have it scored. I am not sure.

That is really a completely different situation. That's someone having taken the exam. OP is asking something different. If you don't show up, don't take it, cancel it, etc nothing will show up on NBME transcript. You will likely lose the money and that's about it. No record of that.

If you sit for it, it will show up that you took it. I don't know whether you can choose to not get it graded. I'm sure that is not as easy as saying hey I don't want to have it graded. But that's a completely different discussion really.
