At its December 2006 meeting, the Step 1 Committee conducted such a review, considering information from multiple sources including:
1) recommendations from physicians and scientists who participated in content-based standard-setting activities in the fall of 2006;
2) results of surveys of various groups concerning the appropriateness of current pass/fail standards for Step examinations;
3) trends in examinee performance; and
4) score precision and its effect on the pass/fail decision. As a result of this review, the Step 1 Committee decided to raise the three-digit score recommended to pass Step 1 from 182 to 185. The new minimum passing score will be applied to Step 1 examinations for which the first day of testing is on or after January 1, 2007.
