As stated in the USMLE Bulletin of Information and as explained in a previous posting to the USMLE website, 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. Notice of such review and any adjustments are posted at the USMLE website.
An announcement on a change to the minimum passing score for USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) has been posted on the USMLE website. Examinees should read the full announcement and monitor the USMLE website for the latest information.
