[snowkhat]

5 minutes..till the server goes down....

 

[DoctaJay]

so do us west coasters have to wait until our midnight or can we jump on the east coaster's midnight bandwagon?

 

[rock_climber]

3 minutes till and the server looks like its starting to craash

 

[Towelie]

the server is already down

 

[snowkhat]

it's going sllllooowwww......

 

[modelslashactor]

either the server is uploading now or we killed it

 

[GeorgeMichael B]

[scube]

this event might break the internet.

You guys could wait till your 12 am which is our 3 am otherwise the site will crash in 3 minutes..

 

[scube]

if everyone keeps hitting refresh there is a distinct improbability that it will fix the server.

 

[Towelie]

it's go time

 

[Deferoxamine]

This is so epic.

 

[trainride]

Ok. lets make a deal. Everyone stop trying to refresh and we will go one at a time. I'll go first

 

[snowkhat]

We will probably find out it actually posts at 11am and our clicks are futile.

 

[modelslashactor]

any word yet? has anybody even gotten the thing to refresh?

 

[scube]

How many take step one each year. Im just trying to see how much cash the NBME has to not upgrade their servers with.

 

[alwaysaangel]

I got through without any problems. Not up yet.

 

[DCDAWG]

Well its after midnight and I just refreshed with no score up....
Should I give up for the night?

 

[scube]

I GOT MY SCORE... What is the three digit equivalent of a blue screen.

Thank You

 

[alphaholic06]

Maybe they're posting the scores.

 

[Novagir18]

I am June 19th. Mine just refreshed and nothing. Argggg... maybe a few more minutes?

 

[snowkhat]

I think it's some ridiculous amount of people close to 40,000 including MDs, DOs, and IMGs.

[Redrox]

[MaybeADoc]

Considering there is only one day a year when they have this problem I don't think its worth the money to update the servers.

I'm neurotic too, but realistically I'd rather wait another few hours for the servers to handle the load than to pay more for the stupid test so they can buy more servers to handle a high load for 1/365 days a year.

 

[Kuba]

i cant even log in

 

[snowkhat]

Mine is still loading on the score screen for the past 4 minutes or so. Nothing.

Could they spend my 500 on renting a few.

 

[FractureFixer]

I dont start until 2 but i have a "lecture" at 1 pm. anybody beat that?

I have to work from 2-5 pm tommarrow (I know so brutal..ahaha). I totally forgot about the scores coming out tomarrow.......now I am scared s--tless..... Thanks guys!!

I am almost so freaked that I cant even imagine opening the score report until I have to, when applying for residency. I keep picturing myself opening it and seeing fail.....and then my 1st two years of med school being a total waste.......i think I just got an ulcer in the 10 minutes of reading this thread....

 

[sendwich]

i cant even log in

[snowkhat]

This would be a perfect use of cloud computing. On demand capacity for when you need it without the infrastructure cost.

 

[scube]

260 at least

sweet Derm it is.

 

[wishiwasfoosin]

so i've refreshed a few times already and no score . . . I'm June 17th. Hopefully by AM

 

[alphaholic06]

After taking 5 minutes to refresh, I got nothing.

 

[Slide]

I was able to get in; still blank. le fail.

 

[FictionalGirl]

Can anybody tell me if a link showed up beneath the "Score report date" before it was ready to check? If its still blank there (i'm on the west coast) does that mean that my test hasn't been graded yet (i was end of june) or does it stay blank until its ready to be checked? I want to know if i can go to sleep. Thanks!!!

 

[snowkhat]

June 12th. No score yet.

 

[Kuba]
