BASIC AND CLINICAL SCIENCE SELF-ASSESSMENTS AVAILABLE ON THE NBME WEBSITE
The NBME offers two web-based self-assessments that may be useful in
preparing to take USMLE(tm) Step 1 or Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK).
Both self-assessments are available on-line, and interested individuals
can take the assessments from their home computers.
The Comprehensive Basic Science Self-Assessment has 200 items divided
into four sections and is designed to reflect the content and format of
Step 1. The Comprehensive Clinical Science Self-Assessment has 184
items also divided into four sections and is designed to reflect the
content and format of Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK). Two unique forms
are available for each assessment, and users can choose to take the
forms under two timing conditions: standard USMLE pacing (one hour per
section) or self-pacing (up to four hours per section).
Diagnostic feedback in the form of a performance profile identifying
areas of strength and weakness is available immediately after the
assessment is completed. The assessments are available for $45.00 (USD)
each.
