Hello all!

I just recently got my board scores back and received a composite of 91% for which I am very pleased!

I understand that there will be a change to the grading system to strictly Pass/Fail starting January of 2012.

Also, I attend a school where Part I is taken after the first year of training. Therefore, it is likely that more than half the students I apply to specialties with will have a score of just "pass". Since I will be applying for the cycle two years from now.

Does anyone know if scores will still be displayed? or does it really not mean anything anymore?
