Thanks for the thread, I was expecting this! I am not hopeless but mine was not very good. I appreciate if anyone answers about which 10 encounter will be pointed out. In my cases there were no ”what the hell” cases. One was suspicious. ¿

Thanks for the messages, guys. I am expecting this! Good luck to us. Stay safe!
The test was so stressful and I finished all cases very early and this is the thing that I worry about.
I have heard many people felt confident but failed and many people felt bad but passed.
Cross fingers!

For me cases were straight forward except one case but I don’t know how I performed
In one case I couldn’t complete the counseling because of time out...
It’s a kind of exam you never know how it went till the big day!!
Let’s presume we did well to relieve the anxiety a bit!
Stay safe.

Score Reporting
Changes to the Step 2 CS score reporting schedule will be necessary as a result of the CSEC test center closures. Updates will be posted to the USMLE website. Results for examinees who tested before March 16, 2020 will be reported on schedule, beginning April 29, 2020 through May 27, 2020.

Guys if I pass it, this exam is totally lenient and I will post all real reasons.. there are too many fake posts about what people did right/wrong with feelings of failing. Almost 100% of them are amg which has 99% pass rate officially.

All I know that almost all AMGs are requested to take and pass the mock cs test before they can take the real thing. That is a mandatory requirement of their medical school.

Was inspired by @Step2csnightmare's username lol. I have been a long time lurker but I am also stressedboutCS and wanted the chance to commiserate. It's hard too b/c failing is higher stakes now with the uncertainty about being able to retake before applying to residency. @ophthalmologist_tr I am so with you. If I manage to squeak out a pass it will be a MIRACLE given that I forgot some major almost impossible to miss stuff. Will also detail further after results come back. Good luck everyone! Waiting ≥2 months is cruel and unusual punishment.

thanks for letting me be neurotic. I feel seen haha. I have a friend who I took it with on the same day but I don't want to stress her out so this is a fantastic outlet.

Hi guys! Thank you for making this thread. The anxiety has kicked in and I am having flashbacks of everything I messed up during the test, which had taken me a while to forget after the exam.
Will the result mostly be out on 29/04 or is it in the 3rd week of the reporting schedule? I took my exam in the first week of March :/

Most people get their score by the 3rd week of reporting period. But honestly i think with the abundant time they've had and all of these cancellations, we should all get our scores this week. Hopefully

I agree with @Step2csnightmare I have a feeling they will all be out the first day given we don't have scores from multiple weeks of testing! it's good you were able to take it before the cancellation!

I think waiting for result is not easy for sure:nailbiting:
but it is still less hard than the uncertainty our other colleagues are facing now !!
Preparing for CS is also a torture
May this pandemic and uncertainty end soon!

Globally there is relaxation in rules in all walks of life due to corona pandemic
Hopefully, CS result is not an exception!!
They might consider passing all because physicians are needed badly to combat pandemic.

A thought to relieve stress and stop flashbacks...:):)
