USMLE Step 1 Scoring
The exam will be scored between 140 and 260 points. The passing score is 185 (75). You will receive a three digit and two digit score. The three digit is your mean score, and the two digit is derived from this as some Medical Boards refer a “two digit passing score of 75”.
The three digit passing score will always equate to 75.
185 (75) is the minimum passing score. It is not adequate for gaining a Residency Program. US Seniors score on average between 210 and 230 points and you will be competing with these people to gain Residency.
You can only retake the USMLE Step 1 exam if you fail. If you get a low passing score, you can not retake to improve it. Kaplan can help you increase your USMLE Step 1 score.
Remember Residency Program coordinators will use your USMLE Step 1 score to judge your application. The scores are used as they are a quantifiable example of an applicants ability, they are comparable and reliable.
