"approved" on NBOME website?

[JP2005]

So I took comlex 3 on March 23rd, and signed on today to see if any scores were posted and found "approved" as my status. I tried calling NBOME to see what that meant but no answer. For those of you who took it in the past, did it say approved for the whole 3-4 weeks leading up to your score release? Thanks.

I took mine on the 23rd too and on the 24th, the status changed from "scheduled" to "approved." Got a vague answer from the NBOME that this was normal (God alone knows why...'cause the NBOME people sure don't). Others have had similar experiences...

3 weeks today for us both and counting....

 

[peb120]

3 weeks exactly for me too. Mine says approved as well and that is normal.
I heard the results are usually posted on the site at three and a half weeks and mailed about 4 weeks post exam.
Next week should be the big week.
Good Luck to you guys.

thanks.....good luck guys

I say approved too on my status page...

Has been over 4 weeks for me (took it on March 14th) and still nothing online...I'm getting anxious.

hey, i took step II and it said the same thing. it will say that until you get your results via the website: then it will change to Pass or fail .

This sucks. Why do we not have our scores back yet? Does anyone have any thought on this?

I know. I have been compulsively checking the NBOME website, and every time I check it it makes me more mad. So much for the 3 1/2 weeks that other people on SDN have said...

How can a computerized exam take so long to get reported?

 

[peb120]

wow that sucks. I was hoping to get my scores this week but if people from the March 14th exam have not gotten theirs, I guess I will have to wait until next week. That is unless all the scores come out together which may be wishful thinking.
I dont care as long as I pass but I am getting frustrated and compulsively checking the NBOME site.

Having gotten sick of checking the website every hour, I finally called the NBOME today...apparently the results are taking 4-5 weeks to come in. I wonder why a computerised standardized multiple choice test that hasn't changed databases over the past several months, still takes 4-5 weeks to get a pass-fail result...

so probably nothing till next week at the earliest for me...

 

[DOtobe]

I wonder if they're waiting to release all of the March exams at once?

 

[peb120]

Yeah they will release all of the March exams at once. 4 weeks from the last March exam is tomorrow (Thursday). So either we get them at the end of this week or beginning of next.
I really dont get these people. Its a computerized exam. This is not rocket science.

 

[peb120]

Any hope that Friday is the Day????

*raises hand*

 

[peb120]

and we got them!!!

Hope you all passed!!!

 

[DOtobe]

PASSED BABY!!!!

 

[passthebiscuits]

should i be worried that mine just says "exam taken" and not "approved"?

I took mine on April 5...

 

[DOtobe]

The only thing I can think of is, did you send them the paper certifying that you were enrolled in an internship program? Maybe that's the difference between "exam taken" and "approved."

 

[UHS05]

Passed...thats the end of the COMLEX sequence for me and it couldn't feel sweeter thanks everone for all your input

 

[Doc_Thks_JC]

Score 694 91
Guess I have really learned through my internship year. The monkey is off my back!!! Time to burn those OMT review books baby!!!

 

[DOtobe]

Holy ****, congrats, Doc_Thks_JC!

Subtract 250 points from your score and that's what I got! But who cares, WE ARE DONE WITH THE COMLEX FOREVER!!!

 

[passthebiscuits]

mine still says "exam taken" and not approved. Hmmm...
I am so nervous about this exam with everyone failing and stuff.
what percentage of questions do you need to answer right to pass? I am nauseated over this wait. The finality of it all. PLease pass me!

 

[natureboy503]

what percentage of questions do you need to answer right to pass?

that is one of the great mysteries of the comlex.
