In the future, please proactively consider the importance of maintaining standardization & integrity of these exams. Ridiculous that @NBMEnow & @TheUSMLE lacked this foresight & had to wait for public outrage to reconsider. #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter

If you're going to cut out TWO WHOLE sections from this nine hour exam, do it for everyone...
Bizzare announcement today that the USMLE will offer shorter exams at some locations for Step 1 and Step 2CK. Reason is removal of experimental questions. But the difference in exam length may favor or hurt some students. /1
Also, before I forget.

@jasonryanmd and @jbcarmody. They are truthful, professional, and they know what's up with the #step1 and #step2.

Would like to see the @NBMEnow following their peer organization, STAT! Props to the @NBOME for not unfairly giving certain students an advantage over others with important standardized exams. #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
@NBMEnow & @TheUSMLE HAVE to do better for #MedStudents . NOT. FOR. THEIR. STAKEHOLDERS.
Medstudents can see you. We can see the dollar signs in your eyes when you look at us.

I am calling upon my followers to retweet & like @jasonryanmd & @jbcarmody 's tweets about the #Step1 & #Step2 discrepancies at Prometric centers vs. schools. The @NBMEnow & @TheUSMLE need to know this is not OK. #StepUpNBME #StepUpMedEd #StepUpUSMLE #MedTwitter
@NBMEnow @TheUSMLE Either STOP administering experimental questions at Prometric tests (recommended, cuz 280 & 316 Qs is ridiculous) OR make school site/"event testers" take the full #Step1 #Step2 exams. Keep things fair. #StepUpMedEd #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #MedTwitter
I’m just so confused how the NBME can be so bad at their jobs...
Tl:dr: if you take step 1 at a med school it will be 200 questions instead of 280 bc they took out all the experimental questions
@TheUSMLE @NBMEnow Why are 2 versions of #Step1 #Step2 exams being administered? Two blocks of experimental Qs (~80 Qs) results in unnecessary question fatigue. Not fair to not know which questions "count" or don't count either. #MedTwitter #StepUpMedEd #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE

Thanks Dr. @jasonryanmd for standing up for your med student underlings! (And for helping me pass #Step1 last year with Boards & Beyond 😊 ) Wish the @NBMEnow and @TheUSMLE would take a page from your book- please help us out! #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #medtwitter
The handling of Step exams during COVID by @TheUSMLE and @PrometricGlobal has been atrocious. Tell your school. Tell your dean. Faculty leaders are outraged and speaking out. Make your voice heard.
Thank you Dr. @jbcarmody for advocating for us :) @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE, I hope you are taking notes! #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
If the @NBMEnow renews their USMLE contract with @PrometricGlobal after all of the incompetence and discourtesy they’ve displayed over the past two months, it will show an utter lack of regard for students, and I, for one, will not let them forget it.
Thanks @AccidentallyMD. Recent events underscore our poor treatment. We deserve accountability & clear communication during this pandemic. Not non-operational phone lines & <24hr cancellations. #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
Excellent letter to @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE re: their recent unprofessional behavior & poor communication, & the subsequent disruption they've been causing #Step1 #Step2 #Step3 exam takers. Time to #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter. This is not OK. We deserve better.
Happening now: In the middle of the #COVID19 pandemic #FutureDoctors can’t take #USMLE exams for licensure because of failures at @NBMENow, @TheUSMLE, @TheFSMB, and @PrometricGlobal, putting current and future patients at risk. 1/12
(4) @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE 30k US 2nd yr med students x $645 #Step1 exam fee = $19.35M/yr. 30k US 3rd yr med students x $645 #Step2 exam fee = $19.35M/yr. Plus our IMG peers. For that much $, shouldn't we deserve better communication than this? #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd
(3) @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE This is not an isolated story. There are dozens of reports like this. Be accountable. Refund all students in this situation the $645 they paid for #Step1 #Step2. Stop lining your pockets at our expense #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #MedTwitter #StepUpMedEd
(2) @PrometricGlobal just gave them a non-operating phone number. Now the students can't even reschedule cuz the website shows they supposedly attended their appointments. The sheer lack of professionalism, unbelievable. @NBMEnow #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #MedTwitter #StepUpMedEd
Thanks @medscape for coverage on @leah_pierson's fantastic letter & the mental duress med students are experiencing due to @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE @PrometricGlobal's unprofessional behavior. We deserve better https://t.co/N1jKnfHOmP #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter
(1) Hey @nytimes @latimes @WSJ, med school testing boards @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE are profiteering off poor med students during a pandemic. See article by @fm_warsame https://t.co/xADFVPqZ9I @kevinmd #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpMedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #Step1 #Step2
@londyloo Hi fellow med student, will you help spread my letter to @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE @PrometricGlobal
asking for better communication, transparency, & contingency planning for us? See my pinned tweet for the original. Thanks so much! #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #StepUpMedEd
@SeeFisch I love your MtB Step 2 CK review book, but I don't wanna study for CK forever! Could you advocate for med students to get better communication, transparency, & contingency planning from @TheUSMLE @NBMEnow @NBOME? See my letter. Thx! #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #StepUpMedEd
