About NBME Comprehensive Exams

There are two NBME comprehensive exams that are often utilized by medical schools to assess students’ preparedness for the USMLE Step1 and Step2 examinations. The comprehensive basic science exam (CBSE) is often completed after the first two years of basic science and is representative of Step1 performance. The comprehensive clinical science exam (CCSE) follows sometime between the third and fourth year, during clinical rotations, and is representative of Step2 performance. Both of these comprehensive NBME exams test the same content and follow the same score as their respective USMLE exam. There at 200 questions broken into 4 blocks of 50 in each exam. Although challenging, they are a great method to measure your preparedness. Connect with our MATCH program and community and let us know how we can support you!
