Change in Minimum Passing Requirements for Step 2 CK
As stated in the USMLE Bulletin of Information, the level of proficiency required to meet the recommended minimum passing level for each USMLE Step examination is reviewed periodically and may be adjusted at any time.
As a result of such a review for USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), the Step 2 Committee decided to raise the three-digit score recommended to pass Step 2 CK from 184 to 189. In addition, the Committee decided to closely monitor performance trends in the coming year and to re-examine minimum passing requirements in 2011.
The new minimum passing score will be applied to Step 2 CK examinations for which the first day of testing is on or after July 1, 2010.
