Step 3 content reflects a data-based model of generalist medical practice in the United States.





Exam Format
  • Step 1 and Step 2 CK are each one-day, multiple-choice exams that are administered by computer.
  • Each exam consists of multiple-choice questions divided into 60-minute blocks.
  • The Step 1 testing session lasts approximately 8hours.
  • The Step 2 CK testing session lasts approximately 9 hours.
  • Step 2 CS is a one-day exam that consists of 12 simulated patient cases.
  • The Step 2 CS testing session lasts approximately 8 hours.
Test includes 2 formats:
Multiple choice questions (MCQ)
computer-based case simulations (CCS): a testing format that allows you to provide care for a simulated patient.

You decide which diagnostic information to obtain and how to treat and monitor the patient's progress.

The computer records each step you take in caring for the patient and scores your overall performance. This format permits assessment of clinical decision-making skills in a more realistic and integrated manner than other available formats.
