How many times can I take USMLE Steps 1, 2 and 3?
A. There are no requirements on how many times you may sit for USMLE Steps 1 and 2. However, if an applicant is applying for a full license and fails USMLE Step 3 more than 6 times, the Licensing Committee will review his/her full license application. At that time, the Licensing Committee may require the applicant to provide additional evidence of clinical knowledge. You may go to the Federation of State Medical Boards website at www.fsmb.org for information and an application to apply for USMLE Steps 1, 2 or 3.
