USMLE test dates?

[TheEleventhReel]

Does the NBME release all possible test dates for the USMLE? I'm an osteopathic student planning on taking the USMLE but I can't find a calendar for test dates.

once you've registered for it through nbme...you can go to the prometric website and check on the dates...they vary by location but the usmle is offered most days of the week vs. the comlex which varies (as you can see by the nbome schedule)

Thanks Taus. Our school hasn't told us anything re: board registration, so I didn't know if the NBME sent out a USMLE calendar like the NBOME did.

no prob....just go to the nbme site and follow the instructions....you're gonna need to print out a form, put a picture on it, get it certified by your school and then mail it out to nbme.......then you will get your scheduling ticket/number and can proceed to schedule your exact date through the prometric site.....assume that you can get any date you want for usmle (M-Sat and not holidays) as long as you book it early enough

Hey Taus. I noticed on one of your posts that you guys are systems-based. Are you guys on semester or block schedule? How is that systems-based approach working out for you? We're doing systems-based as well, but I gotta say, for us at least, it looks much better on paper than in practice.

So after you register with NBME how long do you get before you have to schedule your exact date with Prometric?
