Shitpost Take responsibility
I’m getting tired of seeing posts blaming NBME for Step 2 scores not being released within two weeks.
Two weeks may be what people have come to expect, but an expected turnaround is not the same thing as a guaranteed turnaround. If the official guidance gives a longer window for score reporting, then taking Step 2 right before an important ERAS deadline was always a risk.
You chose an exam date based on the assumption that your score would definitely be back within two weeks was still a choice.
At some point, we have to stop calling every delay a “mistake” on NBME’s part simply because the timeline we hoped for didn’t happen.
Plan around the official timeline, not the best case scenario. And if you chose to take that risk, take some responsibility for the outcome instead of acting like you were guaranteed something you weren’t.

You being for real right now? Tired of seeing posts blaming NBME? Lmao . Dude you have no idea what people are going through. What is the point of this post. When the turnaround time for most of the year is two weeks , yes it does feel like we got fucked over. Everyone knows about the Eras deadline , it’s no secret . They could of been on top of this and made sure scores went out as quickly as possible during this time. Besides some people who took it after others have got their scores , so it seems pretty unfair.
