The USMLE® Composite Committee met last month at #USMLE co-sponsor @TheFSMB’s offices. This committee sets program policies and provides oversight of the USMLE through approval of examination objectives and blueprints, score reporting and exam security policies, and more.
In the rare instance that you experience an issue on your test day, you must send a report of the incident to the #USMLE program within 10 days of your testing date to allow timely investigation. Learn more about what to include in your report. bit.ly/3U2fswS

USMLE® scores and pass/fail decisions are not determined using a curve. If you perform at or above the minimum threshold (i.e., passing standard), you will pass the exam, regardless of the number or percentage of examinees that pass overall. bit.ly/3PTftle #USMLE
