Introduction
About the USMLE Step 2 CK Examination
The USMLE Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge) is typically taken as the second test in a series of 3 certifying examinations that are necessary to obtain a license to practice medicine in the United States. Step 2 CK is usually taken in medical school between the end of years 3 and 4.
. Step 2 CK is more clinically based than Step 1. Although there is no requirement to take Step 1 before Step 2 CK, that is the typical sequence for U.S. graduates. According to the test maker, the questions on Step 2 CK measure the ability to apply medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science as they pertain to patient care (under supervision), with emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention.
. Step 2 CS (Clinical Skills) is the second part of the USMLE Step 2 exam; it uses model patients to test the ability to perform in a real clinical setting.
Step 2 CK Examination Structure
USMLE Step 2 CK is a computer-based test that will not exceed 318 questions taken over a 9-hour period.
. Eight blocks, each one 60 minutes
. Once you have completed a block or 60 minutes has run out, you will not be able to go back to any questions in that block.
. The total break time throughout the day will be 45 minutes. The computer will keep track of your break time. Be sure not to exceed the 45 minutes or you will be penalized by having time deducted from your last block of the test.
USMLE Step 2 CK uses 2 types of questions: single best answer (most common type) and sequential.
