Timing: Step 1, Step 2, Gap year

If you are going on a gap year, can you take Step 2CK now, and take Step 1 next year when it is pass/fail?

Answer

We recommend completing Step 2CK before you go on your gap year because the practice that you had on the wards and in your clerkship exams will most prepare you for Step 2CK. If you are taking a gap year, you must post a passing score on Step 1 prior to beginning Career Launch. You also must have taken Step 1 and post a passing score prior to returning from your gap year. If you have additional questions, please reach out to the deans or your coach for further guidance.
