New Software for Computer-based USMLE (posted July 15, 2008)
A new version of the software used to deliver the computer-based USMLE™ Step examinations is scheduled to be introduced in mid-August 2008. Migration to the new version will occur first in the Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) examination, and will be phased in over several weeks. If you plan to take the Step 2 CK examination in August 2008 or later, you should familiarize yourself with both the current test delivery software and the new version.
Orientation and practice materials using both the current and new versions of the software are available for downloading:
www.usmle.org/Orientation/2008/menu.html
If you obtained the 2008 orientation and practice materials in CD format from your registration entity, please note that the CD includes Step 2 CK practice materials using only the current software. To obtain Step 2 CK practice materials using the new software, use the link above.
The change to the test delivery software will be accounted for in scoring the examination results, so that scores will be comparable to those of exams using the older software. Because of this change, it will be necessary to delay the reporting of scores for some examinees. The normal turnaround time for reporting scores to Step 2 CK examinees is three to four weeks. However, during this transition, turnaround time may be as long as six to eight weeks.
Note to Step 1 and Step 3 examinees: Migration of Step 1 and Step 3 to the new test delivery software will occur in 2009. Please monitor the USMLE and ECFMG websites to check for changes in test delivery software, and to access orientation and practice materials.
