What are the passing scores for the three Steps?
The USMLE program recommends a minimum passing score for each
Step. Currently, the minimum passing scores as set by the USMLE program are; for Step
1, 185 for Step 2 CK and 184 for Step 3 is 187 on the 3-digit scale, or 75 on the
2-digit scale. Each of these corresponds to answering 60-70% of the items
correctly. Performance standards for USMLE are based on a specified level of
proficiency. As a result, no predetermined percentage of examinees will pass or
fail the examination. The passing scores are reviewed periodically and may be
adjusted without notice prior to score reporting.
