it is from ecfmg, i just called them today & the woman sounds as though she really knows what she is talking about. when i called her first question was which center i took my exam in so i have a bit more faith in what i learnt today...the person i spoke to seemed to have a bit more perspective.

but that doesnt make any sense.why should they choose some centers over others?its not fair.what of people that took their exam at that same time but in the three other centers?it is unfair.

i don't know why as well but straight from the horses mouth. Maybe it is because the like to stratify img results seperate from local grad results & as it happens more imgs took their exams at atlanta & philadelphia

UPDATE ON AVAILABILITY OF STEP 2 CS RESULTS
As previously announced, the initial release of results for Step 2
Clinical Skills (CS) has been delayed. The purpose of this delay is to
allow for administration of the examination to a number of examinees
that is adequate to permit completion of quality assurance, scoring,
and
equating procedures. This work is nearly complete for examinations at
the Philadelphia and Atlanta centers, the first two centers to open for
Step 2 CS administration. Similar work is progressing for the remaining
three centers.
Reporting of Step 2 CS results will begin in early December. At that
time, results will be reported for most examinees who tested in
Philadelphia and Atlanta from June through the end of September.
However, it is possible that results for some examinees who tested in
Philadelphia and Atlanta during this period will be reported in the
weeks that follow. For examinees who tested in Philadelphia or Atlanta
in more recent months, reporting of results will continue throughout
December and January.
For examinees who tested at the Los Angeles and Chicago centers, the
reporting of results will likely begin in mid- to late-December. For
examinees who tested in Houston, reporting of results will likely begin
in early January. As with reporting for the Philadelphia and Atlanta
centers, the first release for each center will consist of results for
examinees who tested in the initial months of test administration for
that center; reporting of results for more recent examinees will occur
at later dates.
As previously published, a specific date for reporting of results
cannot
be guaranteed, regardless of the date on which Step 2 CS is taken.
However, for those examinees who test prior to January 1, 2005, a high
priority will be assigned to processing results as quickly as possible
so that international medical graduates, who are required to have these
results for the National Resident Matching Program ("the Match"), will
have a good chance of meeting Match deadlines. Those who take Step 2
CS
later than December 31, 2004 are unlikely to have results available for
the Match.
After the start-up period for all centers is complete, it is
anticipated
that results will be available for most examinees approximately 6 weeks
after test administration.

My heart goes out to those who has been affected by the delay in the Step 2 CS. I hope you all make good time for the Step 3 if you are needing it for the visa.
A special thank you and good luck to ASMI. You don't know me but I feel I know you since I have been following your postings from step 1 forum and you did help me for my step 1.
Good luck for the match and God Bless

I am really annoyed that they didn't tell us Houston would come out so late. I took my exam on Sept 27 because they said to take it as early as possible. Well, when I get to the center, I find out it is the FIRST day they are doing real exams in Houston. I knew I was in trouble then. And they need US grads to come up with their statistics, well, on my day there were only 2 US grads. I just hope they can get our scores out in EARLY Jan.
They should have told us this would matter.

it is indeed very bad of them to put some of us at a disadvantage especially those who need the step 3 exam for h1bs.i really am bitter about this issue as you may have noticed from my previous posts.
anyway if it is any consolaton to you retroviridae,on my cs date in houston,there were only 2 IMGs.the rest were American med students.
