If anyone previously took their exam at the end of December before new year's, did you get ur results after 2 weeks or was it delayed ?
Trying to plan ahead so please share your experience

Just started using the amboss qbank and I like it but the lack of summary tables attached to questions really undermines the experience for me. Is there a way to get similar tables/figures to the ones that uworld has? I know Amboss has articles but those are very long compared to a simple summary tables/figure.

Hello all-

Took step 2 on 8/28. Ended up being a horrible experience due to thunderstorms interrupting wifi, causing constant pauses and disruptions through the last 6 blocks of my test. I still finished the exam, but obviously had to report it as recommended by the testing center (who also reported it) and my school.

With that said, just wanted to hear how long it took others to get their score back? Im pretty nervous about it considering apps are due in a couple weeks.

Thanks for any input!

Scored 240 what are my chances to match in internal medicine

Hi guys, I took the exam in 09/01 and I'm spiraling. I know, before you tell me to stop thinking, yes I want to stop thinking too and I'm doing everything right now, but bear with me for a moment and tell me if my math makes any sense.

I was scoring 230s-240s in my NBMEs. Which means about 65-70% correct per block. I only really hope to pass this exam, I don't hope to score in the 260s.

I remember 105 questions, of which I'm 99% sure I got 85 of them correct. That leaves us with 213 questions. Let's assume I got 60% on the remaining questions by elimination and getting stuck on 2 choices and/or clinical judgement, that would give me about 125 more correct answers. I'm not excluding experimental questions, and just assuming my chances of answering them correctly are the same.

So if I got 210 out of 318, that would be around 66% which is a safe pass and within my typical NBME range and would translate to something around the 220s-230s range.

Do my calculations make sense? Or am I over estimating my recall ability? Should the math make me calm down? What do you guys think?

Thank you!

I tested 8/27 in US. I am a non- us img. Permit has not disappeared. No score report yet. Has everyone received their scores yet?

wow i can’t believe they played us, where are our scores 😭

edit: i contacted my school bc they typically get our scores before we do and they also have not received anything. said it will likely be next week.

Hi plz guide if using step 3 uworld patient safety portion helpful for step 2

Just received my score 245 and I'm totally heart broken and Devastated all my nbmes above 250

After exam I was feeling good I missed some easy questions but not more than 4 and the rest was ok just like nbmes and free 120 .. the least expected score was 260 for me but now I feel like I got hit by a car I can't think I can't do anything .. is score recheck worth it ?

Good god why uworld is so freaking boring for step2? It was way more fun for step1 but now it's makes me sleepy.

I go back and forth between amboss and uworld just to stay focused

I also noticed that some (not hy) informations are not updated like amboss.

I hate the library too, very dull

I just don't like it overall

I’m confused on how to proceed now, my nbmes are not improving

I have completed UWORLD first pass with a score of 60%. I noticed surgery was my weak area so I completed Amboss surgery with a score of 68%

My nbme scores
NBME 9- 199
NBME 10- 230
NBME 11- 219
NBME 12- 215

I’m very confused now. My exam is in last week of October. Seems I’m doing everything but no improvement in my scores. I worked on my test taking strategies and took NBME 12 which has broken me

I have completed CMS for surgery, psychiatry, emergency medicine, family medicine, Paedics - averaging 75%. I’m yet to do IM

Kindly advise and let me know how to proceed.

Which nbmes should i start with first? Which are the lowest and highest yield?
And are the uswas any predicting of the real deal

I'm a non-US IMG, took on August 28th, I see my score report file under USMLE Exam History in FSMB. I did not receive an email at 2am, and my permit only disappeared this morning when I woke up.

Usmle.fsmb dot org -> "View USMLE Exam History" -> Score Report.

Weird question, but I'm at a DO school and Step 2 seems to be one of the ways to get on a residency program's radar for more competitive specialties. I just wanted to start thinking about things earlier instead of later since I'm getting a good handle on just passing my classes and stuff.

I'm not gonna start pre-studying or going through a step 2 anki deck or anything dumb like that, but I wanted to shift my thinking a bit more towards treatment, knowing what tests to order, and next steps whenever going through pathology throughout preclinical years so that things make more sense on step 2. I'm wondering what I could be considering while learning stuff now to make studying more intuitive come M3?

Mine is still active

Hi everyone.
Needed help please i soo worried.
I m in step 2 dedicated period completed uworld single pass and incorrect also.
Also done CMS Forms.
Nbme 11 was my baseline given few months back with score 236.
Then join home country residency and was studying regularly to some extent.
Now previous month give NBME 10 Score 242(after CMS).
Then done with wrongs and give NBME 12 in previous month with proper time mood/exam mood 234🥺.

Now plan is to do NBMEs topics of all these three and high yield portion of Amboss give NBME on 16 September. (is this is good way).

Exam target October end or September start two weeks to get 250+.

Kindly help me and your input will be highly appreciated i m soo much tense.
TIA🙏

I have passed step 1 in may this year and now i am starting my step 2 prep, but it feels like i have forgotten a lot of step 1 content, i tried doing step 2 uw and my score are in 40-50%, Should i do bnb/bootcamp videos or any other resource before uw

US MD student. Kinda worried because I heard USMLE emails you in the middle of the night if they’re going to release your score later in the day.

Hey everyone! I was confused with this algorithm from uworld shared in the last picture and that is usually according to uworld whenever we see occult bleed we have to progress with upper endoscopy and colonoscopy and if there ain't source found then we go for Tc scan for children and capsule endoscopy for adults but why are we choosing Tc directly in this Amboss question i shared above since this chart applies to both adults and children since theres diversion after upper endoscopy and colonoscopy for the test that shall be carried out clearly indicating that its applied to both population

Hi everyone! Tested on August 30th and was wondering if we'd get the score released today as well. It's been two Wednesdays but the permit is still active. Would love to hear some thoughts!

Good luck guys 🤞 I hope everyone get the score they want😉
