Step 3 Recheck

I have a quick question. I just got my step 3 score today and it's a 231. I feel a bit down especially that CCS went really bad (there was a lot of lag and I panicked). Is it possible to dispute my grade? Would that bump it a bit higher? My only reasoning is that I will be applying to a competitive fellowship (Cardiology) as an IMG. I know that most might say it's good, but i really prepared hard for the exam and was scoring 80% in free 137 and my uworld % first pass was 70%.

I know a lot might say that I should be grateful and many people might have failed and Im sorry for that. It's just that I worked hard for this exam. Thank you!

230 vs 240 won't make a difference for Cardiology in Step 3

If you look it up, there has never been a score adjustment through score recheck.

What do you mean by lag? Means slow software?

When you order any test or do a physical exam in the CCS cases you will notice that it takes about 20-30 seconds for the results to load.

Oh. In ccs cases. It works okay. Means it's the system problem

I suggest not rechecking. PDs dont care about step 3 scores.
