Since there's no thread for the 2017 Step 2 CK, I figured I'd go ahead and create one. Happy new year in Step 2 CK land.

that other person wrote it the 28th and got their score . I am an IMG doesnt know if this matters
I am too.we usually get our scores early? If we don't get it today how do we update our usmle transcript next week?
 
Maybe since there was server traffic the score reporting got delayed. Because if someone took it on 8/28 and got the scores back I think we should wait it out and hopefully it will be up soon.

Took it today. Was pretty rough tbh. It was pretty much like UW/UWSA topic-wise but the answers seemed like I could only narrow it to two a lot of the time. I thought people were making it up but it's real lol.
I've never been the best with dedicated study. I can't keep focused for a long time so I ended up averaging like 4-5 hr/day over the 2.5 weeks I studied.

Step 1 241
Shelf exams 75-85
NBME 4 (1 mo) 205 (wtf? how is this possible)
Reset UW (had 1700 left from the year lmao)
UW pass 73% (had 900 questions left when I took exam)
NBME 7 245 (10 days-Oh yay going to get a boost when I take UWSAs and I will be happy!)
NBME 6 92% (did offline idk what this translates to)
UWSA 2 246 (9 days- wtf? well people say it's hard but I can't wait to take UWSA1 and get that boost!)
- became kinda depressed and didn't study for 3 days
UWSA 1 243 (3 days- omg I'm going backwards how is this happening? I've never scored below average on any shelf I'm so confused!)
Free 120 90% (1day)

Well there you have it. I'm not meant for dedicated periods. I can't keep up with the rest of ya'll pumping through qbanks 12 hours/day. Hoping to land 250 but who knows. Was a hard exam. I marked probably ~15 per block on average. Most of those were 50/50s and some were just wtf.

Also WTF IS with all the US Army, Navy, and Marines on this exam? The questions didn't even have anything to do with that most of the time lol.


254! **** you NBME! I win this time.
I'm also thoroughly prepared for the VA

My friend who took it with me on the same day, same center, received his scores and he goes to US Med school. It seems like the US Med students are receiving it first and then probably us US IMGs and IMGs on the ECFMG OASIS.

231.

Lower than my UWSAs and my Step 1. I guess, not sleeping for 2 days before the exam will do that to you lol
Relieved I passed tho :)

Hopefully, it's gonna be enough for peds/IM/FM :)
I think it should be okay for peds/IM/FM, honestly. At least according to NRMP match outcomes for 2014 and last year.
