Default COMLEX Level 2 PE to Airport?


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Does anyone know how long it takes to get to the Philly airport from the testing center in Conshohocken? Or what time the test gets over? Ie, if one starts at 8 am what time is the test over? And how long will it take me to get to the airport via public transit? Cab? Just trying to figure out what to to fly home after. I posted it here instead of the Step 2 section in hopes that some 4th years might see this and chime in. Thanks.

I got done around 3:30 or so. I rented a car and it took me around 30-40 minutes to drive to the airport (probably 25-30 with midday traffic) but drive time is heavily traffic dependent and could easily take longer. Not sure how long the train takes, but is does drop you off pretty close to the testing center and the hotels they suggest using. The train is also cheaper than renting a car if you are by yourself.

I would shoot for a flight that was 6:30 or later. I think thats about what mine was and I didn't have a lot of time to spare. I took the train to/from the airport.

If you have a morning session you will finish around 3:30pm. It takes a good 30-45 min from the test site to the airport depending on traffic. As the post above mentioned, if you have to fly out after the test, be sure it's at least after 6pm to give yourself time to get to airport and check in/security. I went with a friend to split costs and we stayed an extra night and flew out next day. A lot less stressful and we were able to enjoy a nice meal after and decompress.
