It is a 9 hour testing day, broken into 2 distinct test taking formats. On this day expect nothing different from prior Step examinations in the question style and pace.ĭay 2 is where the new component comes in. Day 1 is a bit shorter than the second day-I suppose they ease you into it. With the allotted break time of 50 minutes, this day amounts to about 7 hours of testing time. There will be 233 multiple-choice questions divided into 6 blocks of 38-40 questions each. It consists of all multiple-choice questions in the same style as prior Steps. I know-great, right? Here’s how it breaks down:ĭay 1 is much like Step 1 and Step 2 CK. So let me take this opportunity to break the exam down and give some basic advice. The other reason is that, much like Step 2 differs from Step 1 (with both CS and CK), Step 3 has some new components that will be less familiar. Though Step 3 is the least “high-stakes” exam of the 3, it at least deserves a portion of the same preparation and work. So why bother thinking much about Step 3? The main reason, I would say, is that all of those prior successes on Step examinations came from diligent and thoughtful preparation. You have started your residency and are focusing on becoming the best doctor you can be, as you should.
