Is there a score release hack for the basic exam? 6 weeks is a long time to wait for scores on an exam which made zero sense

I’ve been wanting to ask the same question. This is a painful wait! I guess it’s been a little over 5 weeks so they’ll probably milk the clock

What's the rush?

Did anyone get the results yet? Its ridiculous they make us to wait for the results this long, 5 weeks passed. Release the results already!

no rush but statistically about 10% of residents will fail, so not an insignificant number so probably want some reassurance. but I agree waiting 6 weeks for a computerized test that does not even generate a score, only p/f is kind of frustrating. years past (aside from covid year) it seems as if results were released at 4 weeks

You won’t get it for another week or so after you get your “pass” letter.

It's been a thing since BASIC exam started. If you didn't get the letter, you did not score in top 10% 🙂

I don't know exactly when, but yes, it is a recent change dating back only 4-5 years I believe.

You won't get it if you didn't click the hidden box on the instructions screen that allows them to charge your credit card extra.

The computer scores tests instantly. On standardized exams questions are analyzed to potentially throw out "bad questions" that are missed by significantly more examinees than expected. It takes a bit to decide which questions to throw out to standardize the difficulty from year to year and maintain the pass rate within the range that is within the expected range. So most of the interim is to meet and decide on the cutoff to fail the lowest scoring examinees.
