Score release date - no more confusion

Exam week is from Saturday --> Friday.
Scores are released on the 3rd Wednesday after your exam.
I hope this sample calendar will illustrate this concept clearly.

Please remember that this does not apply for those who take the new version of the exam.

According to the USMLE website:

Starting on or around May 15, 2010, a transition period will begin in which the number of items in current forms of the Step 1 examination will change from 336 items to 322 items. Although the transition will occur quickly at many test centers, there may be some locations where the changes take slightly longer to complete. The overall transition period will likely last approximately 6 weeks.

Please note that:

• Scores on new and old forms will be comparable; the decrease in the number of items per form will be accounted for in scoring the examination results.
• The length of the examination day will remain unchanged.

Most score reporting of Step 1 results occurs within four weeks of testing. However, because of the change in timing described above, as well as routine modifications to the test item pool, there will be a delay in score reporting for most Step 1 examinations administered in late May and June. The target date for reporting Step 1 scores for most examinees testing from May 15 through late June will be Wednesday, July 14, 2010.

Crap! New version. I think less questions may make scoring more difficult. Does the exam duration stay the same?

Thanks for posting.👍
