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.
*On April 26, 2010, a new, enhanced version of the SPEX will be released. The new version will consist of seven blocks of 64 minutes each (48 items per block). Additional information about the new version of the SPEX is available here.
