Reports & Transcripts

Candidates and residency program directors will be notified by email that score reports are available as soon as possible after the date of the examination.

The NBOME will provide COMLEX-USA Level 3 examination score reports to the candidate and the office of the dean of the candidate’s school of graduation. Score reports will also be released to the program director, director of medical education, or designated institutional official of the candidate’s graduate medical education program.

Score Reports

Scores are generally available within 8 to 10 weeks from the date of the examination.

• Score reports will be available via secure access to your NBOME account.
• A personal email is sent to each candidate informing them when scores have been posted, and alerts are posted to the NBOME Facebook and Twitter feeds.
• The score-release calendar shows the date when a candidate can expect their scores based on the examination date.

Note: Score reports from computer-based examinations taken on or after July 1, 2012 are available electronically through the candidate’s NBOME account. Candidates and osteopathic medical school dean’s offices will be able to access and print test results immediately after they are available along with the candidate’s examination history. Up-to-date information about candidate test-taking activities and test results remain online for accessing and printing at the candidate’s and osteopathic medical school’s convenience.

Score reports printed from the NBOME Portal do not take the place of an NBOME-certified transcript. No scores will be reported by telephone, fax, or email.

Certified Transcripts

NBOME certified transcripts are the only verification acceptable by medical licensing agencies and the Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS).

To order a certified transcript, access your account and complete the instructions. If you do not have or are unable to access your account, contact Client Services via email or call 866-479-6828.

Transcript requests will be processed in the order of the date received. The normal processing time is one to two business days from the date of receipt of the request and payment and three to five shipping days using standard USPS mail. Transcripts can be sent by FedEx for an additional fee.

Candidates must complete at least one COMLEX-USA examination for which a score is available in order to process a transcript request. If you request a transcript while a test score is pending, that score will not appear on your transcript.

For Third Parties

Third parties who wish to request an official transcript must obtain written consent from the osteopathic physician and submit it with an official transcript request form. Download the application form and submit with payment to the NBOME. If you are using FCVS, this option does not apply; contact FCVS directly.

Score Confirmation

Before releasing examination results or posting score reports, the NBOME conducts a thorough quality assurance process to ensure scoring accuracy.

Confirmation for any COMLEX-USA examination can be provided by request, if submitted within 120 days of the examination. Requests are processed through your NBOME account, located within the “View Scores” section. The option for submitting this request is listed at the bottom of the page. The NBOME does not release information about the scoring of individual examination questions.

COMLEX-USA cognitive computer-based examination score confirmation delivers responses recorded by a computer. Because score confirmation is limited solely to the review of the responses recorded by the computer, it is unlikely to change the candidate score. We ensure that all subsections were complete and that your responses were graded against the proper examination form.
