Anyone on here who took the exam after 1/16/17 get anything back? The announcement says the score delay is only for some examinees, but that the goal is to have scores back by Wednesday, May 10th 2017. Has anyone gotten their score back at all?

And this delay is definitely adding on to my anxiety. I just want the score already so I can apply to vacant residency positions and have a job again.

This morning I checked my FSMB and it changed from active status to expired as below:

  • Status:
    Expired
  • Name:
    --------
  • Submit Date:
    Wednesday, February 01, 2017
  • Eligibility Start Date:
    Wednesday, February 01, 2017
  • Eligibility Expiration Date:
    Sunday, April 30, 2017
Your Step 3 application has expired. You may begin a new Step 3 application at your convenience.


No link to reapply. And permit no longer accessible on candidate website. According to lots of other forums maybe I passed if no link? I hope so, that would also mean maybe the score is coming a week early - so maybe May 3? Also, the status changed one day before my eligibility was actually over.

Mine says the same thing (no link to reapply). I've seen other boards with rumors that this is a "trick" to see if you passed, but have you seen anyone posting who had a link to reapply and found out they failed? (just nervous and would be great if the "trick" were true!)

All I found was one person who failed it, re-took it and passed but got mixed up about seeing the link or something. Either way, I hope it's real. I'm done with this anxiety.

This is the only person I've after scouring a few past years posts of someone who claimed they didn't have a link but still failed.

Yes I also found this posting. I have been searching the USMLE Forum boards as well, there were some people in early 2016 that did have a link and failed (at least 2 people). If anyone for the current cycle (since Jan 2017) received the expired message and also a link let us know. (Possibly no one gets a link now)

Yea I think so. There was a 2015 thread on USMLE forum and said 12 am Wednesday morning people were getting scores if the permit was gone on the nbme site and you status was expired on the fsmb site

Sorry I'm just so confused....I click check exam status and it says complete but gives me no other info..... I just want to make sure I'm going to the right website.... if someone could help me I would be so grateful.... thanks

1. Log into step 3 candidate website:
https://apps.nbme.org/fsmbexamstatus/prod/jsp/login.jsp
If your scheduling permit is still there, you won't get results this week. You have to wait until it disappears

2. If permit is gone, log into fsmb website: Federation of State Medical Boards
Then click home at the top. Should bring you to a page that has a heading saying licensure. Click USMLE under that heading. You should then see links to "register, obtain, apply, etc". Click the picture that says USMLE. Should come to a page asking for a username and password. Type in whatever you used to register. It says application status. This is where you either see expired or approved. Expired and no link is supposed to mean pass. If it says approved, this doesn't mean anything. You have to wait until it says expired to not see or see a link to reapply

Hope this helps

May not mean that for sure. Does your status say "expired" now? Where is the link listed?

It says expired. And the link is at the bottom and it lets me go all the way through and pay. I don't see why it would give me the option to do that unless I failed

My husband's said expired and had no link to reapply. Hope that means he passed. Good luck everyone!

Don't give up hope. I have searched many forums over the last few days and it seems that some people have no link and fail and some people have had a link and passed. So the "trick" is not 100% accurate. After all my research on the "trick", I'm not sure that it really works (some people have also directly contacted the FSMB about it -- and they say it doesn't)

I've only found one instance that someone claimed the trick didn't work. There are many more claims of having a link and failing.

And FSMB when you call them literally will tell you nothing. I have called them twice leading up to these results. I didn't ask about the link thing, because no **** they're not gonna tell you about that true or false. But I called them yesterday and they wouldn't even tell me that the score was coming out tomorrow. Literally she was like a robot just saying " just look for the email to say when scores are available "

Yea I think that lostin_space dude was trolling because he has posted a lot about the test in other non step 3 forums. Almost as if he is looking for attention. There are many cases of saying the trick does work but just wait for midnight tonight to know for sure

yea seems to be at theme on here some @stewartln4

@Alexa248 I hate to ask you to do this but for future SDN peeps, could you screen shot what your page looks like with the link? Just so people will quit acting so confused maybe if they see what it might appear like.

Yea I just went back and tried to find anywhere it didn't work. It's been working up until December 2016 so I don't see why it would change now. Hope it all just works out in our favor. I CANNOT take that test again
