This is a scored exam required for any IMG applying to the USA. It’s a 9-hour exam divided into eight 60-minute blocks with multiple-choice questions. Aim for a high score as it is crucial for a competitive residency application.
As this exam is the only scored exam in your application, it is recommended to aim for a high score to have a competitive edge. The speciality you apply for will determine how high of a score you need, but it’s safer to aim high regardless.
