Yeh i know the 21st batch hasnt gotten their scores yet but thats because ecfmg isnt working the week after xmas. So technically we would be in the same boat as they are. The only doubt i have is that our 3rd wednesday is only 19 days after our exam not the full 3 weeks....

Shah thx for the reply.

I also thought that the exam was fair and when i walked out i had a good feeling. However i keep remembering questions and i am mad at myself for making some REALLY stupid mistakes. So no i am really nervous about it now. I really hope our results come on wednesday. I honestly cannot wait any longer!

How many questions can you get wrong per block for a 230? Ive heard so mamy things i dont know what to believe anymore...

go to the IWA site, the one where you printed your Step 1 permit from...see if you have a link available for the permit....if you don't, it means your permit has disappeared..don't know if it is an accurate method to determine if you are getting scores the following week.....but let's hope it is!

permit disappeared?? then possibly your result out in the coming wed..

thanx to the forum, i got the answer to my doubt..those whose permit has disappeared might get the result on the coming wednesday cos I read about one doctor who was expecting his result on the 11th but his permit was still there but disappeared later on so he might be expecting it this wednesday.. hmm lets see if I get mine so that this might actually be true! :p

no more permit for me.

my heart dropped to my feet at the moment...

pleeeease lord please pleaaaase :sorry: :eek: :confused: :eek: :eek:

about 54 hours from now we will hopefully get our scores if the IWA method proves to be true...

lets keep each other posted. if someone gets their score please post that you got it and your exam date!

best of luck everyone!

my permit has also disappered!!:eek::sorry:
i gave exam on 27th dec

but i doubt whether it comes this wednesday because there are doctors giving exam after 16th-17th dec whose results havent been out.
but i sincerely wish my result comes out this wednesday...this anxiety has made my life like a scarecrow!:scared::p

hi
you may not ge mcuh answers on this thread coz pple here are mainly concerned abt their results.
however you need to provide more info, eg what classes do third year med students in pakistan take. that will help any one who wants to offer advise, there are many pakistani drs on this forum who understand the system wel they will be able to help
all the best!

my validity period goes until the end of january. but my permit disappeared... so i guess thats a good sign.

what time do results normally come out??

is it 10 AM EST?
i hear its 9am EST, hey colchicine do you know if they can release two batches on the same day, i mean 21st, and 30th.
i am so nervous, if i mess this up then its a wrap!:(:sorry::sorry::sorry:

Hei guys...I took mine on Dec 30th....My permit has disappeared too... Ah what a nerve racking week! I hope results come tmrw , cant wait another week!
Do U have any idea how many mistakes per block still gives you scores above 220? I got 220 on NBME-7 few days before exam,,,I had a good feeling for first few blocks on my actual exam...at the end I did more mistakes (SILLY MISTAKES) and was so exhausted and donno how it would be...

Nativedoc,

Yes it is very possible for them to release scores for 2 batches at once only because they dont release scores fr dec 24-dec 31. Therefore the dec 21 batch and dec 30 batch can possibly be released on te same day.

At some point ecfmg has to play catch up and release 2 batches scores at once.

Lets just hope that this is the case for us!

Good luck buddy.

Alveoli

I feel like we are in the same boat buddy

I got a 219 on nbme 7 a couple days before the exam. I felt ok about the exam but i also made some REALLY stupid mistakes as well.

In other words, i feel your pain. It sucks, i cant forgive myself for some of the mistakes i made cuz 99/100 times i would get them right!

Anyways, i dunno how many we can get wrong to get a 220, ive been asking around but no one knows. I guess it all depends on how many trial questions there are on the exam too.

Good luck man.

i figured i post here since i didnt get any response to my previous post but i just took nbme 7 last week and got a 226 and then took nbme 11 yesterday and my score dropped to 214....should i postphone my exam which is next tues or just take it after reviewing FA this week? i will be ok with anything over 225

Oopppss ...thats not a good news for me! I so much relied on NBME-7 and didnt take more tests afterwards....just had one earlier NBME test (11) 1/5 months earlier to my actual exam (it was before practicing UW Qbank, and had read FA one time) which got bad results! (just passing score) and then began UW Qbank and took UW-assessment tests in following weeks (got 206) and the last test before exam was 220 (NBME7)...ahhh lets seee :sorry:
