Effective January 3, 2020, the arrival time for the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) testing appointments will be 15 minutes earlier than in 2019, due to additional security check-in procedures at the testing centers. During check-in, test center staff will scan examinees with a handheld or walk-through device designed to detect prohibited items.
New arrival times at all CSEC centers
- AM Sessions: 7:30 AM
- PM Sessions: 2:30 PM
If you are currently scheduled to take Step 2 CS on or after January 3, 2020, please log in to the Step 2 CS Calendar & Scheduling system to print your confirmation notice with the updated arrival time.
