Hello all,

My attending, who contributes questions to USMLE, advised me today to wait until January to take the CK exam. He wouldn't give me any details, but hinted something along the lines of the score should be more promising due to some changes in the questions. I assume the vignettes will be shorter after January 2014.


Did anyone else hear this? Does anyone else speak to doctors who contribute questions to the USMLE and could confirm this? Thank you

UPDATE:

Okay, so I just got a text from another student who was informed that vignettes will be shorter after January 2014. I'm crossing my fingers that its true, since I hate long vignettes
