Med students are waiting for #Step2 CS refunds from @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE. If you took out a federal direct unsubsidized grad/prof loan to pay for this exam, you've accrued $39.41 of interest so far. (See my pic below for the math.) Like & RT. #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE #MedTwitter
Why are students still having these problems? @NBMEnow @NBOME @PrometricGlobal, this is terribly unprofessional and y'all should be ashamed. Stop scheduling exams at test centers that are indefinitely closed. #USMLEfail #StepUpNBME #StepUpPrometric #StepUpUSMLE #MedTwitter
What a sham. My husband and I just had our USMLE and COMLEX exams cancelled because apparently the Houston Prometric center is closed for the foreseeable future due to unpaid rent, yet continued to schedule exams. @PrometricGlobal this is unacceptable.@NBMEnow @NBOME #MedTwitter
I'm calling on all my followers to share any @TheUSMLE @NBMEnow SNAFUs and mishaps on Twitter. Post via your public or anonymous accounts. Use #USMLEfail, #MCATfail, #StepUpUSMLE, #StepUpNBME, and/or #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter.
I know that there are a lot of people who have had @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE fiascos.
And even more who have had @AAMC_MCAT and @AAMCtoday fiascos.
Please, tweet them. Use #USMLEfail or #MCATfail
I’ll start
Hey @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE, we are watching and listening. For a $645 #Step2 CK exam fee, we expect better than this. This is not okay. We are angry. #USMLEfail #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
I have now rescheduled my licensing exam (Step 2 CK) 7x in four different states.
I have sat on hold for cumulative 14 hours of my life.
They could not gurantee I will get to even take exam on 7th rescheduled date.
We need leadership to step up. @NBMEnow #USMLEfail
My open letter to @TheUSMLE & @NBMEnow re: their 6/4/20 announcement about abridged #Step1 & #Step2 CK exams only at "event-based testing" sites PLUS their claim of being "committed to ensuring equity." Like, RT to endorse. #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME
Agreed. @NBMEnow @TheUSMLE, be proactive toward equity, rather than suggest terrible ideas & then retroactively try to make amends. Drop the PR defense & demonstrate you actually care by taking action to truly level the playing field. #MedStudentTwitter #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE
Also, before I forget.
FOLLOW
@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 Dr. Carmody makes a great point. Pls explain how elimination of experimental items makes testing at med schools feasible. (Or why it's infeasible to remove those items from Prometric test takers' exams to make them shorter.) #MedTwitter #StepUpNBME #StepUpUSMLE
2) The stated reason for eliminating experimental items (“to make event-based testing at medical schools feasible”) is strange.
MED SCHOOL ADMIN: “Yeah, tell them we’ll administer the test - but ONLY if they give us a 20% discount on items administered!”
@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
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
How long are @TheUSMLE and @NBMEnow going to let this go on before they actually stand up for their students?? @PrometricGlobal is a garbage company screwing over medical students who have been preparing for #step1 for MONTHS. #StepUpUSMLE #StepUpNBME #MedStudentTwitter
Got my USMLE step 1 cancelled AGAIN. But this time, @NBMEnow and @PrometricGlobal did not even bother to send a cancellation email. Instead, my school emailed me saying I was no longer registered to take step. Come to find out, it sure was cancelled. FIX THIS NOW.
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
