How long does it take for step2 result and oet results to get updated into ecfmg?

I gave permission to share my results 2 days ago. Now i want to make sure the results were received so i can apply for the pathway.

Can I keep tracking info on the speaking card as the ‘patient’ talks or do i have to maintain eye contact with the camera?

In the listening part some of the answers contain brackets for example: (an) apple. Is the bracketed word optional or important to get the mark?

What about paraphrasing? Instead of antiviral cream, saying topical antiviral?

ALSO: After my sample test, they said that my answers will be corrected and will show my score? How long does that take and how can i check this if i wasnt logged in?

Of the 4, each gets 1 day only. Newbie. What should i start with and what resources are commonly recommended?

My exam is next day. Im currently doing amboss 200HY. Im thinking if free120 is worth doing? Is the content of it important/close?

I know its new in Bahrain. I have a 9hr exam coming up and wanted to check how was yalls experience? I have a few questions regarding being able to bring in water bottle, a jacket inside the hall, was it quiet and organized..

I’ll be testing for step2.

Which subjects do you feel like were heavy on the exam?

What to do in these discrimination-based cases:

1. patient refuses doctor in an elective surgery

2. patient refuses doctor in an emergency surgery

3. patient refuses doctor in general care (non surgical)

4. patient requests a specific ethnicity of a doctor

Especially recently! Let us know when you’ve started. Or where you’re at and how long since..

I’ll be done with my step2 and OET by mid-august. I know its a stretch but im reaaally hoping to get lucky and have everything ready on time before sep23rd.

I am doing pathway 3. Its pretty straightforward.

Healthy adult, no medical history, no family history, not taking any meds. Everything is good. On routine exam has such labs like below. Next step? Answer: repeat cbc in 3mo. Explanation: this is Benign Familial Neutropenia (BFN). But looking at the leukocyte breakdown, both percentages are fine so how do we know if the leukocytopenia is caused by lymphocytopenia or neutropenia or both?

Labs show no anemia, normal platelets.

Leukocyte count - 2600

 Segmented neutrophils - 60%

 Eosinophils - 1%

 Lymphocytes - 35%

 Monocytes - 4%

new watcher here. i noticed that there are random, few seconds shots showcasing some customers at the stores with some background music. can’t help but wonder if this ritual is continued throughout the series?

Yall there should be a tutorial on how to use amboss and where to find everything popular for step 2… I am so lost there and I downloaded the amboss qbank app on my ipad to solve some questions.. its one big white screen with tiny letters. There isnt a zoom in feature? I dont even see any option to reveal the explanation 😐
I’m giving my exam in under a month.

FORM 10: 218 (24 march)

FORM 11: 227 (6 april)

FORM 12: 210 (23 april)

FORM 13: 215 (30 april)

FORM 14: 230 (19 june)

FORM 9: 227 (7 july)

I did 75% of UW, also went over many incorrects but not all. I studied each NBME very well, took notes memorized, understood my weaknesses in test taking strategies.
I did well speed-wise in forms 11 and 9 and coincidentally both r high relatively. Yet still not high in reality.

I did cms:
IM 10,9: 68%,78%. Latest of each: FM 74%, EM 60%, Peds 66%, Obg 82%, Surgery 66%, Psych 80%.

I am very short of time and idk what to do. I need to take my exam early august. I’ve been waiting so long to see a jump but none whatsoever. There aint much time to do anything /:

Anyone been in my shoe? Any happy stories? Advice? No discouragement please

YOG 2024 non-US IMG, I will be taking my step2 exam late this month or early aug at most. And I intend to enter MATCH 2027 for internal medicine. You apply for ECFMG certification AFTER finishing with step 1&2 and OET right?

I heard so many people saying it takes months to get the certificate?
Then how do late test takers enter the match cycle? What is the deadline to having it ready for the match?

As im practicing, i decided to try out glancing at the choices before reading the stem. It changed everything, because it acted like a palate cleanser. Often as you go through so many questions in exam-like condition things start to blur and overlap, you lose focus, reread and lose time. Reading the choices feels like reading a title, it sets the tone, helps you know what to expect, what to look for. After glancing at the options, read the stem from the start.

i have a matter that I really hope Allah will make true, i am looking for ways for tawfeeq from allah in this matter (any other tips would be helpfu) but currently i want to do sadaqa with a certain amount, should i just pay it now or make a nadhr with god that if this certain thing happens, then i will pay the sadaqa? Which’s best or stronger?

also the matter is a life-changing medical licensing exam, the deadline is approaching and i am not ready, so while at it please make dua for me for tawfeeq and readiness to take it in time.

god bless.
