Step 3 score delay and impact on USMLE transcript requests

Starting in mid-February 2012, changes will occur to the USMLE Step 3 examination resulting in a delay in score reporting for most Step 3 examinations administered from mid-February 2012 through early May 2012. The target date for reporting Step 3 scores for most examinees testing during that interval will be Wednesday, June 6, 2012.

For examinees who take Step 3 during this time period and need the score to appear on an official USMLE transcript, do not send the transcript request until your scores are available on the Candidate website. All transcript requests are processed as they are received. The FSMB will not hold a request pending the release of Step 3 scores at a later date.

Further updates about Step 3 score availability will be posted on this web page as they become available.
