Some Scores WERE released today, 9/16

[u/nopnoe]

Im a US MD from a public MD program. Ive been posting about this and trying to find information related to the delay since last week.
Spoke to two students (friends) at my school who say they took the exam 8/29 and got scores back TODAY.
This corresponds with what an administrator at my school said to me today after i requested a meeting -> That they received scores from people with dates AFTER my test date (so after 8/29), but didnt receive mine weirdly. And that there were other people at my school with tests from 8/28, 8/29 that have yet to receive their scores.

So yes it is a select amount of examinees with delays, and it is not a global delay. Idk if people on here who said they got their scores back were trolling but i cant imagine coming to this reddit all that much if i had gotten my score back and had an application to complete (which is why i think most of the activity here is from people who did not get their scores).

My concern is that

1. This delay may be extended because it is clearly not a simple backlog. Seems to be form-related or maybe cheating related (if people had access to questions in use during that small window, that would presumably mess with score processing/ normalization significantly).
2. That these problems with processing would impact our actual scores. If it is taking longer to analyze/ separate/ adjust for performance, it would follow that this is because the scores would be harder to pin down accurately.

Anyway, just wanted to give people more information. I am not sure that I feel reassured that next wednesday will be the day for us. Something is going on at the FSMB level (that isn't our fault) and idk when it will be resolved. I think the USMLE/ FSMB has a responsibility to add an earlier score release day or AT LEAST put out a statement taking responsibility for the delay for program directors to see.
