About USMLE Step 2CK
USMLE Step 2CK is often considered a second chance for students who did not perform optimally on USMLE Step 1. Now that USMLE Step 1 is due to transition to a Pass/Fail scoring metric in 2022, the weight of Step 2CK will drastically increase.
Admissions experts, including Dr. Jubbal and our team of physicians with residency admissions committee experience, agree that the Pass/Fail nature of Step 1 will largely shift the increased pressure to USMLE Step 2CK as the objective measurement for clinical knowledge and assessment. For this reason, crushing Step 2CK will become paramount — Step 2CK will become the new Step 1.
Step 2CK is designed to assess one’s ability to apply medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science essentials to patient care situations. It is a one-day examination, divided into eight 60-minute blocks and administered in one 9-hour testing session. Similar to Step 1, question blocks will not exceed 40 questions per block. The total number of items on the overall exam will not exceed 318.
The current minimum score to pass USMLE Step 2CK is 209, with a theoretical maximum of 300. The national average is 243 with a standard deviation of 16 (as of 2020). Highly competitive specialties such as dermatology and plastic surgery will require students to perform well on Step 2CK to be considered realistic candidates.
