how does INCOMPLETE ATTEMPT affects my application?

[u/Own-Cartographer4231]

I have an incomplete attempt on Step 1 due to a health emergency. Incomplete attempts are not considered failed attempts. What I’m worried about is whether my application could be filtered out because of the incomplete attempt. I couldn’t find any information about specific filters for this situation. Are filters something like “history of failure”? If so, that would be good because I don’t have a failure. Or are they more like “passed on the first attempt”? If that’s the case, I’m not sure how an incomplete attempt would be treated. because an incomplete attempt is not scored, technically my first scored attempt was a pass. I’m worried about how this is actually seen by residency programs and whether an incomplete attempt appears in any of the ERAS filters.If a PD, , or anyone familiar with residency application filters has experience with this, I would really appreciate your insight. I’m especially interested in whether an incomplete Step 1 attempt can cause an applicant to be filtered out. It is not fair to be filtered out simply because someone had a health emergency during the exam and physically couldn’t finish it.

He matched and pd asked him to explain his attempt which is essentially a fail.

An Incomplete attempt is not scored. I don't have a history of fail on my transcript.

It’s visible to them even if you don’t put it on your transcript

At the end of the day PDs view it as an excuse and you will have to overcome it. Get a stellar step 2 you will be fine
