Go to NBME site and read the news release of 4/19/05
How could they screw up so bad ?

They failed dozens of candidates who actually passed.
And now they are mailing them the correct score reports.
I feel for these poor guys.

Hey freedom, you could be one of them.

I think that is because many AMGs failed the CS on patient notes. So the students asked about why so many failed. Then USMLE found some excuse and rechecked their patient notes part and let them pass. But no luck for IMGs who failed communication skill or Language with very high integrate clinical skll performance. This is not fair. But who will stand up and speak out for us??????

OK when you say fail communication skill or Language what do you mean? How bad in english speaking do you need to be to fail?
