Mine says certified and I went ahead and enrolled myself in the MOC program. If it is fail after this then they will have to dis-enroll me.
FTW.Mine says certified and I went ahead and enrolled myself in the MOC program. If it is fail after this then they will have to dis-enroll me.
I did call them this morning and waited on hold for 20 min only for a representative to tell me that he cannot tell me if I passed or failed even though my status shows that I am certified. He also told me that the score reports will be released today. I have incessantly been checking my email and the ABIM website for my score report to no avail. Hopefully, I will get something by tonight so I can sleep peacefully.Did anyone call ABIM for score reports?

My status still says not certified, I called this morning ABIM and the lady told me that they are still in the process of releasing reports and I shud be getting one by the end of the day . Does that mean that it still hope or I have to move on as I failed ?
We're you able to view it on the abim website first or was it sent directly to email?No score report here yet =/
Score reports are up. Glad that is over.
I just got my scores and am very happy. But for those of you who did not pass, please don't be too discouraged. I have several friends who failed that shocked me and who are in prestigious fellowships, so I think it was just a ridiculous test...
Got an email. It was strange because it was sent about 3 nanoseconds after I had just refreshed the score report page.
You'll get the email.Gosh this system is annoying- still no score report. Know I probably passed based on certification status, but this is just a teaser. Is there any point refreshing the ABIM page once in a while or should I just wait till my phone beeps about new emails?
Just got email and score report. They are burning the midnight oil it seems. Is the highest score really 800? Regardless so happy it's done now. I would agree that USMLE system was a lot more uniform and i prefer the all at once release.
Your performance on the entire examination determines your examination pass-fail decision. Overall performance is reported on a standardized score scale ranging from 200 to 800 in increments of 1 point. The mean standardized score for first-time takers of this examination is 500 with a standard deviation of 100. For example, a score of 600 is one standard deviation above the mean of first time takers. Candidates with equal ability will achieve the same standardized score.

Edit: my reply was meant to be to imreshopeful
Average score reported slightly lower than your reported quote there.
Agree about score report very vague but then again the questions I remember marking come up so it's likely accurate just vague.
Also their average is not just our year. It rather says "first time test takers in recent years."
what time did you get your score report email?Passed.
My ITE scores were not that great (<30th)
Read all of MKSAP during PGY2
My only study tool was Board Basics with MKSAP questions. I took one month off after residency and studied religiously in the mornings and did questions in the afternoons. I was scoring >80% correct the week prior to my exam.
I do not enjoy prep courses but everyone I know who took Awesome Review absolutely loved it, particularly those in fellowships.
When leaving the test I was certain I had failed. It felt like after a step exam but with much more on the line. So glad it's over.
Sorry to those who did not pass. It's not at all reflective of you as a physician.
Put it off as long as you can. Hopefully you'll be able to ditch the Gen IM MOC and just do your sub-specialty.Should fellows of a specialty keep up with MOC? IE should I enroll in MOC?
I am in the same boat as you are. I am showing up as certified but have yet to get my score report. The guy on the phone told me that I would get my score report today, but I have been checking my email almost every 5 minutes and NOTHING yet! #panicmode!Still no results yet for me, I am listed as certified. I'm getting nervous they are going to change my status and show me a failure on my score report. Anyone else in the same boat?
How is it they are releasing these scores? Descending order of scores? Date taken? Area of the country?
I wish this would just end...
What time did you get your email?Just got mine...missed passing by 10 #$%^&( points...
The only good news is that I rocked the area I'm in fellowship for.

About 10 minutes ago.What time did you get your email?
I like you. You can stay.I actually didn't even realize scores were coming out until friends on Facebook started posting that they were board certified. I haven't got a score report yet but after skimming this thread went ahead and used the "check certification" link which seems to suggest that I'm certified. Has anyone confirmed that this is working or is that status totally random?
So does this mean it could come anytime tonight?I got mine back too. Just wait for the email to be pushed to your phone. I passed ~560. I have 31 knowledge points listed that I am supposedly deficient in. Does that mean I got 31 questions wrong out of this 240 Q test? Because holy moley that means an 87% is still under 1 SD above the average

Well, get back to the important stuff. And I don't mean your instagram account.Haha thanks. I've been locked down in fellowship mode since taking the test, haven't really thought about it much until social media reminded me about it

Were you listed as certified?I missed passing by 6 points. And if I'm interpreting the score report correctly, I got 75% of questions right. So apparently you can be about one SD below average and fail while still getting 3/4 questions right. If that's true, the whole test needs to be redone.
I'd be careful calculating a percentage.I missed passing by 6 points. And if I'm interpreting the score report correctly, I got 75% of questions right.
