News New Score Scale for the Emergency Medicine Advanced Clinical Examination

New Score Scale for the Emergency Medicine Advanced Clinical Examination

May 23, 2018

Register Below to Learn More

Beginning with exam administrations on June 1, 2018, the National Board of Medical Examiners® (NBME®) will report scores for the Emergency Medicine Advanced Clinical Examination as equated percent correct scores instead of scaled scores. The new equated percent correct score reflects an examinee’s mastery of the content domain and can be used to compare and track school and examinee performances over time and across test administrations.

This new scale will also help to enhance the quality of score reporting and interpretation for the Emergency Medicine exam.

Informational webinars for medical school faculty who want to learn more about the changes are being made available by NBME Psychometricians Linette Ross and Seohong Pak.

Register here to join a webinar. (Sessions will close when they reach capacity.)

You can also send questions to us at subjectexams@nbme.org.
