Hi everybody,
USMLE Test administration has recently introduced new software version for step 2 CK effective from mid-aug 2008. The software is very user friendly and superior BUT THIS IS GOING TO DELAY THE RESULTS PREVIOUSLY FROM 3-4 WEEK TO 6-8 WEEKS NOW. THERE MIGHT BE SO MANY APPLICANTS LIKE ME WHO ARE GOING TO APPLY THIS YEAR FOR RESIDENCY (MATCH 2009). DELAY IN RESULTS COULD COST YOU- ONE FULL YEAR OF YOUR CAREER- IF YOU MISS THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION. SO THOSE WHO TAKE EXAM AROUND MID-AUGUST OR BEGINING OF SEPTEMBER, ARE HIGHLY VULNERABLE FOR THE EFFECT OF DELAY IN RESULTS.
THEY HAVE GIVEN A VERY SHORT NOTICE. THEY POSTED THE MESSAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE ON 15TH JULY ONLY (JUST ONE MONTH BEFORE THE CHANGE) WE CAN ASK THEM TO POSTPONE THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW SOFTWARE FROM MID AUGUST TO OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER BY THAT TIME MOST OF THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED THEIR EXAM AND HAVE THEIR RESULTS ON HAND BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
SO GET TOGETHER -SEND AN EMAIL TO USMLE TEST ADMINISTRAION SERVICE TO FOLLOWING EMAIL ADD :- testadmin@nbme.org . Request them to postpone the introduction. May this help all of us. PLEASE DO IT ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. |

I alredy sent the request to webmail@nbme.org
This is what they wroteA new version of the software used to deliver the USMLE Step examinations is scheduled to be introduced in mid-August 2008. Migration to the new version will occur first in the Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) examination, and will be phased in over several weeks. If you plan to take the Step 2 CK examination in August 2008 or later, you should familiarize yourself with both the current test delivery software and the new version.
The sample test materials using both the current test delivery software and the new version are available on the USMLE website at http://www.usmle.org/Orientation/2008/menu.html.
The change to the test delivery software will be accounted for in scoring the examination results, so that scores will be comparable to those of exams using the older software. Because of this change, it will be necessary to delay the reporting of scores for some examinees. The normal turnaround time for reporting scores to Step 2 CK examinees is 3 to 4 weeks. However, during this transition, turnaround time may be as long as 6 to8 weeks |
