step 3 question about pass/fail score report - drreyes - ArchivalUser - 05-07-2018
Hi! i will like some help! I took my step 3 on April 13th and 16th 2018. Today is May 7th, 2018 this been the first day of 2nd week of May. I will like your opinion because when I entered FSMB, my application status was EXPIRED and my scheduled permit dissapeared. I was feeling happy because I have read that when this happens is a good sign, but then seconds later I saw a yellow botton that said START. I hit the button and I could get to a new page for applying for the step 3. Im very scared because i have heard that was not a good sign. I stopped filing it and I called fsmb because now the status of the application is in progress. I wanted to know if it was a notice that i failed or if I have so complete it, but the person said that because I havent received my results the application will not let me complete it because I took it already, to wait 4 -6 weeks for the results. Please I need some guidance with this.
Thank you!

I'm on the same boat. I haven't checked the FSMB though. Im real scared to check that as well so I don't know I'll even look at FSMB or not. But when do we usually get the result? Is it 3rd or 4th week?

hmm, sorry to say, but you might have failed, typically,you should have the application changed to EXPIRED and shouldn't have a link to reapply on fsmb. All the best

omg Im so worried. I worked so hard for this exam. But it is normal that the permit dissapeared even I still was having a elegibility period that was supposed to end in May 31,2018? I took my exam on April 13 and 16. I called fsmb and ask if there's a relation with any changes in the page with a fail status and they said there's not. Let's hope for the best.

I am sorry drreyes. I had the same experience. My permit expired on sunday but on tuesday, the link appeared and it let me apply. I knew I failed and I did.
