Class of 2027,
Greetings! And best wishes this week as you finish Block 8!!! We have some important information regarding your upcoming board prep qualifying examinations and other board prep items. Each is described separately in greater detail below.
For board prep exams that are optional, please use the following link to indicate which ones you plan to take: Sign Up for Board Prep Exams<https://campbell.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4JILFSNi6Ck2hOC> no later than Monday, April 21 by NOON. (Note: all exams will be proctored in Levine 202; please bring your CUSOM-issued laptop and power cord and personal headphones as there may be some questions with audio.)
Please also find the current Block 8 Schedule & ABC’s of Board Prep (presented to you in January) attached for your convenience & reference.
Pay close attention to deadlines!
* TrueLearn COMBANK Question Totals - COMLEX-USA Level 1 Bank (ALL Students – CABS II Course Passing Requirement)—DUE by 8:30 a.m., 04/22
* Just a friendly reminder that ALL students need to complete a total of 1,180 (1,000 + 180 from QE #1 = 1,180 total) questions completed in your current TrueLearn/COMBANK COMLEX-USA Level 1 bank by 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday 4/22/2025, before the start of the QE #2 exam.
* QE #2 (for students who HAVE NOT yet qualified)
* For those who have yet to achieve the qualifying score, you must take the QE #2 exam on Tuesday, 04/22/2025 at 8:30 a.m. in Levine 202.
* To qualify, you must earn at least 55.0%.
* There is no need to opt-in—just show up 😊.
* FYI: the exam results will be released later in the day (thank you for your patience) with an email announcing their release from MedEd at which point you can log into your TrueLearn account to view your score.
* If you do not qualify (it’s okay), you will be contacted with further instructions to choose which board prep option you would like to complete. So, just hold tight—we will guide you through the next steps.
* QE #2 (for students who HAVE qualified)
* We strongly encourage all of you to take QE #2 and do your best as this will help guide strategic focus of your remaining time devoted to board prep. You should see an improvement; however, if for some reason you do not score at least 55%, you still have already qualified on QE #1 (so there is no risk).
* Please use the link above to indicate your decision to opt-in to QE #2.
* The deadline to opt-in is Monday 04/21/2025 at NOON.
* CBSSA (Practice exam for USMLE Step 1, optional for students taking Step 1)
