For Step 1/Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), standard quality assurance procedures ensure that the scores reported for you 

accurately reflect the responses recorded by the computer. When a request for score recheck is received, the original 

response record is retrieved and rescored using a system that is outside of the normal processing routine. The rechecked 

score is then compared with the original score.  

 

For Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS), score rechecks first involve retrieval of the ratings received from the standardized patients 

and from the physician note raters. These values are then resummed and reconverted into final scores in order to verify 

whether the reported pass/fail outcome was accurate. There is no rerating of encounters or of patient notes; videos of 

encounters are not reviewed. Videos are used for general quality control and for training purposes and are only retained for a 

limited period of time. 

 

Patient notes are carefully reviewed, in some instances by multiple physicians, before scores are released. As part of the 

quality control procedures for initial scoring, examinees who fail Step 2 CS solely on the basis of the Integrated Clinical 

Encounter subcomponent and who are performing at a level that is near the minimum passing point have their patient notes 

rated by multiple physician note raters. Therefore, patient notes are not reviewed again when a recheck is requested. 

 

For all Steps and Step Components, a change in your score or in your pass/fail outcome based on a recheck is an 

extremely remote possibility.
