Yep. Oh, now I know that 's the reason why my permit disappeared sooner than I expected. I thought I could have score this week. I feel like seating on fire

Sorry youre gonna have to wait Til Jan. nov 29th is the last day of that week who will get scores tomorrow.

Double check to see if ur scheduling permit is still there on ECFMG. Mine disappeared Sunday.

[sky_blue2000]

Ur likely not getting ur score tomorrow then. Disappear literally means disappears. It doesn't even show the link anymore

[bravo27]

my scheduling permit is not there,it has disappeared I guess.Doesny say print/reprint permit.That thing is not there anymore

[bravo27]

LOL! Thank you nsesereso! wishing it were true... Anyway, there is nothing we can do now. We will get the scores that we deserve I think - and we will do whatever we need to do to get where we want to be

[TwoStep]

Wait a minute... they said that scores would be released through the holidays? Does that mean they'll release scores on Christmas?

That can't be right. I want it to be right, because that's when my score should technically come out (I took the exam on Dec. 5th).

i wish dey release the results on Christmas..i have given it on 3rd i want it to be out asap... cant handle the surprises!!!
but is the news true? who did u get this confrmed from?

[kramps]

does anyone know what time (EST) results are usually released today?
cheers.
i have been waiting for my score for 2 months now due to problems with verification of my student status.

[DocMero]

I have been waiting for 45 days because of the same problem. Yesterday, ECFMG sent me an email and confirmed that my status has been verified and that they will release my score as soon as it's ready.

Did ECFMG verify your status ? If yes, when did they inform you of that?

The scores should be released at 9 AM, in 2 hours inshallah (God willing).

[kramps]

hey docmero,

my school sent in my student verification 2 weeks ago by DHL and it got signed by ecfmg. however they did not email me back confirming that my status is now verified. should i be worried that i will not get my score today?

[DocMero]

No you shouldn't. They don't inform applicants of such info unless you call them to request the status of your verification process. That's what I did.

[kramps]

oh. that's a relief. this wait is killing me. i hope i get my score today. now we play the waiting game. again. good luck to all waiting for their score! hope you guys get what you aimed for!!

Do u see it updated in ur OASIS page???
My is still showing as "verification is pending" but my school sent it more than a month ago, I don't know whether because I have not taken the exams yet that is why!

[kramps]

where do you see that on OASIS?

[DocMero]

No OASIS doesn't show that. It seems that your problem is different from ours. Our problem is RE VERIFICATION not verification. It's a form the ECFMG sends to your school to confirm your status. This from must be sent back to ECFMG. Also, we are students. I don't know if you're a grad or a student. Call ECFMG to follow up your application.

[DocMero]

Originally Posted by kramps

It shows nothing! it's the same. No thing is different.
You don't see that on OASIS. You have to call them.

OASIS shows only the primary application process not the REVERIFCATION process.

[kramps]

so let's say if my score does come out today, do i check it at the Score Report Information tab in OASIS?

yes.......

[Dr Asshat]

I've been up all night. Took exam also on the 27th. The waiting game sucks hard. So results all get released at the same time.. 9AM?

[50539]

guys... let's hope for the best
I should study today but i really can't take my eyes off my email.

Dr. Asshat are you guessing about 9AM or someone told you that? in that case I won't be able to do anything else for the next 40min

I am guessing because of an above post that I read. I don't really know, and I don't think anyone truly knows.

BUT if somebody receives their results please post and advise. I will post when I receive something.

[sky_blue2000]

It's normally like 9:30ish I think

[kramps]

Took it on monday the 25th. I don't know, maybe if you take it on Saturday they start counting from the next wed?
good luck!

[Teee]

Hey bravo,

I'm in the same boat as you. I took it on the 30th and found it quite difficult. However, I (just) looked it up, and it looks like Saturday writers get their results on the 4th Wednesday, so we gotta keep waiting.

I feel like an idiot losing so much sleep over something that never came.

[vero]

I felt terribly after my exam, but actually it was like an NBME. My score is exactly like my last NBME(15).
I've got the email first, and after I checked on OASIS.

But the problem is that next Wednesday is Christmas, and the week after is New Year's Day, so who knows when we'll actually get our scores. For now, just relax. It was a difficult exam, buddy. I'm sure everyone that wrote it felt the same way.

I know!!!!1 thats why I was hoping to get the results today otherwise a long delay!!I felt terrible after exam.My uworld scores were good so I was little confident but the actual exam was wayyyy harder .Lenghty questions and similar answers, I even missed a few questions

Same for me man. I had good scores in everything going into it and I came out of it in a daze. Everything looked similar and I was having trouble finishing the blocks on time, which never happens to me. Perhaps we just got a slightly more difficult exam.

[Antiochos]

YAAAAAAAY! AFTER 13 WEEKS full of strikes, transantlantic bureaucracy and stress, after so much time, after all this journey, my score is out! And what a score it is (zero Celsius in Kelvin grade plus one)!

I'll write my whole experience as soon as possible, and until then, a big CONGRATS, regardless of the outcome, to all step takers who worked hard to fulfill their goals and become better doctors!

[hakuna matata]

Congratualations to all who got rsults today.

Good luck for those still waiting.

And so I guess, 274 is highest for this reults.Well done buddy.

[TwoStep]

I didn't get it confirmed, the gentleman I quoted from says he called the ECFMG.

We'll see though, I'm not expecting my result until Jan. 8th. I'm from the States... most everyone gets Christmas Day off.

It's not a very good score and it's not a bad one either. I dunno tbh. it's one of those Okay scores. The report says the average for American and Canadian schools is between 222 and 227. Yet, I dunno whether 238 is a good score or not for an IMG like me.

Dude, thats an amazing score. I just took my exam a few days ago and im so anxious lol. But great score man

[50539]

I'm a bit embarrassed of writing that among all those kind of scores, but since this community is about sharing and helping each other, I want to write something, because I need a bit of help too...

I failed.
179 is my score.

I can't actually say it was completely unexpected because I really studied it badly, but I was hoping for something between 210-220 (my UWSA scores...).
I probably underrated the difficulty of this exam.
I was too self confident about my preparation and instead of focusing only on my step1 I managed to take other exams of my university (since I am still not graduated), because I was more worried to graduate in late.
I completely miss my priorities.

Anyway, it's all experience, I grown up a little bit more.


Now, here are the questions I need you to answer to in order to get up again:

- Would have been better to pass with a low score (like 200-210) instead of fail?
- I know that my failure will always be an indelible mark, but will I still be able to match if I retake step1?
- Do you know someone who matched even with a failure? If yes, how were their scores? (even links of threads would be appreciated)
- Do you think doing again UW Qbank would be useful (I did it only once, 2 months ago)? Or I should do something else just to don't have the impression to be stucked in somewhere? How is USMLE Rx? Any study plan advice is welcome.



I want to end my post with these words that are giving me the strenght to don't give up, maybe they will be useful for those (hope anyone) who will end up in a situation like mine:

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

anyway, great job to everyone here who aced the exam! you did really a big thing. good luck with everything!

i would love to get a 238. Even though my NBME's are in the 250s, i would be more than happy with a 238 . Congrats on the score man, its on to step 2 now.
