January 15th, 2014; Step 3 Exam Results Thread

[parisfrog]

I took on Step 3 on Dec 21st and 23nd, 2013. Is the score going to be released tomorrow, Jan 15th, 2014?

Is it the same 4 weeks rule as Step 1 and Step 2 CK score report?

Are you sure? I took it quite late and I am expecting the score release by Jan 22, 2014 and, hopefully tomorrow. You are much more optimistic than me. Actually, I am worried about passing it; bad work during the test.

So, did you guys got your results?
I took the exam on Dec 20/21...

I checked the nbme and have not got the score.

It seems that we have to wait for another week until next Wednesday, Jan 22nd, 2014. A lot of us took the exam around the holiday, Xmas and New year and plus the snowstorm paralyzed the whole midwest and northeastern America, so a delay is quite normal.

Be patient. Good luck to everyone.

Please call number 215-590-9500 and request NBME to release results. For anyone who interviewed at pre match programs, it is very important week.

There was no step 3 from JAn 1st to 15th.

I just called USMLE; they replied that all exams taken around holiday and before Jan 1st, 2014 will be reported together, and they count weeks from Jan 1st. So 3 weeks will be Jan 22nd, and four weeks will be Jan 29th. And all examinees should expect report by these two days.

Congratulations.

Can you please share your step 3 experience? What sources did you use, and how long did you prepared for step 3?

It was particularly tough for me to prep for Step 3 while attending the interviews. Briefly, I spent 2 months to study MTB Step 3, FA CK (it was my primary reference for CK and I jotted down notes on it), UW QBank, UW CCS, Archer videos, and Fred 2 (the free assessment from NBME, you can find it on ECFMG webpage). I also did UW assessment but my friend recommended NBME assessment.
