Hi, Can you tell me how did you apply for re-evaluation ? Did you call FSMB or via web ?

Forget it. There wont be any change in the score that was sent earlier. You are wasting your money and time. Better luck next time. With so little to achieve for a pass, this time it will be easier and your preparation will be rewarded. All the best

Send a check worth $50 along with a request letter to FSMB.
The chances of getting additional marks are very remote.That is what I was told by FSMB. Iam still waiting for my second score card.

I've just sent you a PM strongest. I hadn't read the last posts here.
I was thinking to ask for a re-checking of my score but as i had thought (and suresubabu and strongest say) the chances for any change in my score are VERY remote, because i think they are very organized and with an almost perfect quality in all the checking process.
besides, what if they realize they gave me more points than i got and i get a lower score?  .

I dont think there will be any change in my results unless there was an error in the system which evaluated my performance. This would be very very rare.
Anyway I'll let u guys know once I get my recheck results.

Hi issele
Thanks for the congrats. I thank every body in this forum for their valuable messages in this forum. I was just a silent reader of this forum.
I studied the following for my exam this time
Kaplan Q bank
USMLE world explanations. I just read them but I have not done the questions.
Most importantly the USMLE world CCS cases. I feel that the performance in CCS cases matters a lot for passing the exam. I have no idea( nobody knows) how much percentage they contribute for ur total score but from my experience one has to practice CCS cases a lot to pass the exam.
I feel the CCS cases would have made a lot of difference in my result for the second time.
The MCQs are lengthy and have to read last couple of questions very fast in some blocks. Obviously most of the questions are from Internal medicine. I found the Kaplan Q bank and USMLE world to be good sources for that.
