Does anyone know what is the approximate % cutoff for prelim pass?
I counted many questions too, and got the prelim passed. You did your best, don’t worry!I took mine on 4/22 and boy was it rough! I literally counted 21 questions that I have never even heard of. Lots of questions with two good answers and even a few questions I felt were like step 1 material that you will never need to know as a FM physician. Definitely harder than expected. At least I have a 3-year contract signed lol
I am taking mine on 04/20. Do you mind sharing what you did for preparation? Ive done the last 3 year ITE+AAFP board review questions+some rosh review questions but did not know what else to do.
I hope that everybody out there does well on this!
Congrats! Happy for you!Got my result today I passed. So it was 3 business days after I took it
ITEs: 390, 440, 330(just clicked through on the last year one)
For anybody wondering, doing the past 3 year ITEs was the most beneficial for review.
No not yet...scared....waiting for same.DId anyone who took their exam 4/21 receive prelim results?
Mine says “pending.” What about everyone else?DId anyone who took their exam 4/21 receive prelim results?

Congrats! Did your status stay registered the whole time? I took mine 4/24 and it still says registered...Prelim Pass today. If I passed this, all of you guys will ...
I took mine 4/24 and it changed to pending the next day. My fiance took her's on the same day and it still says 'registered'. I don't think that means too much, alot of people got their scores w/i 3 business days regardless of what it saidCongrats! Did your status stay registered the whole time? I took mine 4/24 and it still says registered...
Congrats! Taking mine tomorrow. Scared as hell!I took my exam 4/24
Just got a prelim pass! Results came in at 1:10 CST
My fiancé who took her test the same day and same location (and even finished before me) still hasn't gotten her's back. She's also way smarter and motivated than me so if anyone had the 'pending review', it would've been me
Congrats!! I’ve been refreshing but still nothing. I think I’m in the same boat as your fiancéI took my exam 4/24

Took mine 4/24 (Last Monday)
Didn't get email, my status didn't change. Still says "registered" and "In progress", not "pending"
Called ABFM, they said my score is not ready yet because it is not graded yet, i don't know how true that is
Most of my colleagues received in 3-6 business days, kinda confused...is it because a lot more ppl took it last week (2nd week of exam period)?
Do you get a response today?Did your fiancé ever hear back?
I’m in the same exact situation except when I called ABFM they just said it’s business day #6, you should get results by end of the day tomorrow. If not call Thursday am… someTook mine 4/24 (Last Monday)

Yes. I’m in the same exact boatTook mine 4/24
Stills says "In Progress"
Got the same response from the board how it has not been graded yet. I find it hard to believe as well but that is what they are saying
All my colleagues have received their results. Even those that have taken it after me. One colleague took it this past Thursday (4/28) and received their results today.
Anyone else with this experience?
NopeDo you get a response today?
No she hasn't yet. She's freaking out but this thread has kept her grounded. Thank y'allDid your fiancé ever hear back?
Okay just an update: I contacted ABFM and they said results by 2 pm today. May we get some closure on this chapter alreadyNo she hasn't yet. She's freaking out but this thread has kept her grounded. Thank y'all
I’m wondering the same thing. I hate that we have to wait till mid June to find out.I also got a pending review...
I am not the highest scorer on exams, but all my past ITEs were good and I did study diligently for this specific exam, don't like to compare things but this was actually one exam i was comfortable with with good amount of prep. Some of my colleagues who did much worse in previous ITEs all passed, and I was teaching them prepping for this exam...
I was just reading through previous yr's posts and those who received "pending review", some of them actually ACED the exam with really high score, so I'm having kinda hard time understanding this "pending review"... is it jus random pick ? or r we actually border line...?
Did your fiance end up hearing today?No she hasn't yet. She's freaking out but this thread has kept her grounded. Thank y'all
Pending review means that a preliminary pass or fail result is undeterminable at this time based on the initial exam results data. A preliminary result is provided only with a high certainty that it is your final outcome. Here are a few reasons why a preliminary score may be pending review:I also got a pending review...

Curious as well. Y’all think it’s our test date??Did your fiance end up hearing today?
Do not think so. I have a friend that took it 4/24 and they received their results that Thursday.Curious as well. Y’all think it’s our test date??
Congrats! Any of you mind sharing score + strategies (particularly interested in those that achieved 650+)
Thats wonderful- if you dont mind me asking- which program are you in- Im still waiting for my pending result 😔My ITEs were pass, fail, pass ranges in PGY1, 2, and 3 respectively. I received a preliminary pass three days after sitting for it.
I watched/listened to all the AAFP videos while also reading the slides. I did ~300 of the free AAFP questions over a period of ~4-5 months. I reviewed 2/3rds of the 2021 ITE, the one I did not do well on, about a week before the test. Admittedly, my case was complicated by Prometric abruptly canceling my test date three times, to the point I had to report them to ABFM and demand that they do something to assist me.
Got my score back this week. +600. Far higher than any of my ITEs. I do not know if this speaks to the teaching/learning quality of my program or if this test was just a crap shoot, but I am at least legally speaking now a fully operational FM doctor even if it doesn't feel like it.
