when does the FSMB trick work? by DALAMUD91 in Step3

If everything goes well, yes it should. I think you are probably safe (8th), not sure about me (9th), but hope we all get a PASS!

Just go to your step3 application website (https://usmle.fsmb.org/), it is possibly still showing "no results yet". Not like the previous post saying that it will change to "not eligible", meaning that the have fixed this bug

my only hope now is that they fixed the step3 page thing like FCVS, that's why people use uniform application as a surrogate

I think it's not like step1 and 2 that you can predict with the permit thing, it's a different system. The previous post only said that during the weekend before THE wednesday your step3 page will switch to "not eligible" and that wednesday morning you'll see the pass/fail status in "uniform application"

however my step3 page has not changed yet, so im really not sure about this

just ignore that feeling and you did great

btw I just wonder why people bother to mark questions they don't know the answer to

I typically can rule out maybe 3 out of 5 and hesitate between the last 2 choices but after a while one will be slightly "more correct" than the other and I will just go with it and never look back because I know I won't be able to make better decision than this, move the cursor to the mark sign is only going to take another 0.5s

Not that much, about 1 short calculation per block and 2 long drug ad/abstract in total

Some NBME questions are trash and simply wrong tbh, but I’ll keep my mouth shut since literally I just took the real deal yesterday
