发帖数: 58 | 1 The Step 2 Committee decided to increase the performance levels required to
receive a passing outcome on two of the three Step 2 CS subcomponents:
Communication and Interpersonal Skills (CIS) and Integrated Clinical
Encounter (ICE). There will be no change to minimum passing requirements for
the Spoken English Proficiency (SEP) subcomponent of Step 2 CS at this time.
These changes will be applied to Step 2 CS examinees testing on or after
January 1, 2013.
Because of the changes that were made to the design and content of the ICE
and CIS subcomponents earlier this year, as announced, the ability to use
historical trends to predict the impact of the changes in minimum passing
requirements is limited. If the new minimum passing requirements were
applied to the group of first-time examinees who recently tested under the
new examination structure, the overall passing rate for examinees from US
medical schools would be approximately three percent lower and the overall
passing rate for examinees from international medical schools would be
approximately eighteen percent lower.
The impact of these changes on future examinees will depend on the examinees
’ performance. The overall impact will be reviewed by the Step 2 Committee
when more examinees have tested under these new requirements
刚打算准备CS，看到最近考位很空，是因为这个原因么？吓得不敢报了 |

发帖数: 429 | 4 也不全是，我知道好几个（包括我自己）都是其他两个都是压线，只有口语过的还好。
学习班的老师说的对，趁着刚改的时候赶紧考，等他们画出线来就开始宰人了。18%也
太狠毒了。

多点了？

发帖数: 214 | 6 妈妈米呀， 吓一跳，还好早考了。 当时考的时候就想到刚改革，病历的篇幅增长，估
计评分会适当放放，可能真是这样，他们也是摸着石头过河，有个上课的印度妹step 1
都没考，第一个考cs就是怕又改。
另外听说以后performance也会作为成绩单的一部分给program看， 还好我的
performance还能看，以后cs也和其他steps一样要看分了不？ |

发帖数: 54 | 11 这个消息粗一看是挺怕人的，毕竟18%, 不过看了看近5-6年的IMG pass rate，觉得其
实也还可以。
比如ECFMG公布的2011 IMG cs pass rate 82%，FA上面 2007-2009 IMG pass rate 也
就70-71%。 18%也只是推测，而且大家既然都知道难度增加，肯定会多练习练习，所以
新标准推行以后，pass rate 最多回到2007-2008水平 70%左右。那时前辈们，觉得很
难通过CS 吗？
