What is USMLE Step 1?
Despite being the only pass/fail exam in the USMLE series, USMLE Step 1 is a challenging exam due to its broad content coverage and the high stakes weight a successful "pass" holds in applying for residency programs.
How is USMLE Step 1 scored?
USMLE Step 1 is scored as a pass/fail exam. Students who pass receive only a pass mark without further feedback. However, examinees who fail Step 1 do get information as to how far they were from passing, as well as content-based feedback to guide the study plan for their next attempt.
How Long is USMLE Step 1?
USMLE Step 1 is a one-day exam administered on a computer at a Prometric testing center. The exam is given over an 8-hour testing session and there are currently seven 60-minute blocks of 40 questions each.
