its worth a try, but I don't think they ever really change a score.

I think the consensus is it is a waste of time and money.
Focus on the next go instead, and with a little bit of effort you can make up for this and still be a competitive applicant.
Good luck!

why would you want to check your score?? I know at this time you would have just been so happy to pass, but maybe this is a sign from above. If you had just passed with a 75 how would that make you feel???
If I had a choice between failing by one point and passing by one point i would definitely pick failing.. I mean, an 80-something on a second attempt would look much better than a 75 on a residency application. The best part is that you KNOW you can pass, it was basically a little bad luck (or maybe good?) that got you this score; so a month or two of studying can only IMPROVE your score.
I have heard that many people are disheartened when they don't get the marks they wanted; but you now have a chance to improve on that. What's more; you've been through the experience once before so you know better than anybody what type of questions they will ask and what to study and what not to.
A lot of people say that going through the step one experience is "hell". All i know is that we are learning stuff in these books that one day will not only help us save lives, but live a life very few people can ever experience. And this is definitely not the first time you've been reading these subjects; consider these subjects your friends; your mentors. These books/subjects have helped you overcome odds to come to where you are today; and they WILL get you to where you want to go tommorrow- they are our friends not our enemies. In March, when you get a 200/86 or whatever you aim for; you will realize that failing by one point was a blessing- not a curse.
Finally, you did NOT fail the test; you simply gave it a little too early. At least this is the atitude I would have.

HEy Guys,
Thank you so much for your support. Its just very devastating studying for this again b/c u just never know how your next exam will go. I wasted over 9 months studying and i feel like i haven't gotten anywhere. Anyways, what's the point of complaining..GOtta pull of my socks and try again..Its just so hard/heart breaking to start all over again.. It took me 3 wks to even get back on my feet and read...I haven't started my constructive studying yet....PLanning to take PASS Program in Jan just for some guidance or else I will go insane....
