The USMLE program recommends a minimum passing level for each Step examination. The USMLE Step Committees are responsible for establishing and monitoring these standards, and are asked to complete an in-depth review of standards for each examination every three to four years.
An announcement on the Step 1 Committee’s review of the minimum passing score for USMLE Step 1 has been posted on the USMLE website. Examinees should read the full announcement and monitor the USMLE website for the latest information.
