SPEX Structure/Content
The SPEX is a one-day, computer-administered examination consisting of eight blocks of 52 minutes each (50 questions in each block). Reflecting the fact that unrestricted licensure in the United States is for the undifferentiated practice of medicine, the SPEX measures the knowledge and cognitive abilities required of all physicians, regardless of specialty practiced.
Content of the SPEX is intended to reflect the knowledge and cognitive abilities of practicing physicians who are five years or more beyond medical school graduation.
