USMLE STEP 3 Trick Works!!

[Chamorro12]

The "trick" still works. Here's how it played out for me:

-NBME (apps.nbme.org) permit link disappeared early Sunday AM
-FSMB (usmle.fsmb.org) changed from "active" to "expired" early Monday AM with no link to reapply

Score report was available Wednesday 12:00 am Eastern Time on NBME (https://apps.nbme.org).

My gray box says:

“Your Step 3 application has expired. You may begin a new Step 3 application at your convenience.”

No link to reapply

Thanks. Were you in your eligibility period?

 

[Dr. Bob Loblaw]

Thanks. Were you in your eligibility period?

Yeah I was.

 

[Dr. Bob Loblaw]

Yeah I was.

What does yours say?

 

[_dgr]

What does yours say?

I don’t have a yellow box but I was out of eligibility period. My gray box says-you have an eligibility extension request that has not been completed!
Any idea? Freaking out!!

I’m sure yours is just different because of the eligibility thing. Plus I’ve seen a ton of people say this “trick” doesn’t work anyway. We’ll just have to wait it out til 0:00ET 😬

I was hoping for my score, but I took day 2 on Nov 24. I am guessing I won't get mine until next week.

Same here i gave second day 28th Nov so it might be next week. Scared!!!

 

[Dr. Bob Loblaw]

So, I’m assuming we get our score in 3 hours, right? 😭

How was ur 1st day and 2nd day and CCS?

 

[www303]

How was ur 1st day and 2nd day and CCS?

First day horrible. 2nd day similar to Uworld. CCS predictable but wasn’t familiar with the software so did a lot of stupid mistakes.

Who else is expecting result coming Wednesday 🤭

Who else is expecting result coming Wednesday 🤭

Me. Second day was the 30th. MAYBE I'll get it. I'm terrified since I think I ****ed up more than the usual test taker who "killed ONE person on CCS!" We will see. Fingers-crossed.

Has anyone's permit disappeared yet?

What does it mean?

Mine expired as well. Brace for impact! The results are tonight!

Note: this means nothing more than the results are out tonight. This doesn’t infer pass or fail status at all.
Let’s hope for the best..
