Reexamination and Reapplication
You must pay all applicable fees at the time you apply for examination. If you apply for more than one exam at the same time, you must pay applicable fees for all exams at the time of application. If you do not pay all fees, your application will be rejected. If your application is rejected, any payment received with that application will be credited to your ECFMG financial account. See Payment in Your ECFMG Financial Account. For all exams, there is an examination fee. For Step 1 or Step 2 CK, there is an additional international test delivery surcharge, if you choose a testing region other than the United States/Canada. These surcharges represent the additional cost of offering Step 1 and Step 2 CK by computer outside the United States and Canada. If you choose to take the exam in the United States or Canada, you do not need to pay a surcharge. For information on Step 1/Step 2 CK testing regions, see
in Applying for Examination. For the current exam fees and international test delivery surcharges, refer to the ECFMG website . All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice.

As explained in the USMLE Bulletin of Information , unauthorized possession of personal items in the secure areas of the test centers is prohibited. However, in certain limited circumstances, exceptions to this policy may be made for medical reasons, provided that permission is granted in advance of test administration. Examples of items that require advance permission include medication, an external appliance, or electronic device; examples of appliances and devices to which this policy applies include insulin pumps, inhalers, medications, TENS units, breast pumps, hearing aids, electronic or digitally amplified or otherwise enhanced non-standard stethoscopes (for Step 2 CS), wheelchairs, canes, crutches, and casts. This list is not exhaustive. If you believe that you have a medical condition that requires you to use any of these items in the secure areas of the test center or if you are unsure whether you should request an exception, see Examinees Who Require Personal Items in the Testing Room in the USMLE Bulletin of Information for instructions. You can contact the Personal Item Exception Coordinator by e-mail at PIE@nbme.org .

If you are a disabled individual covered under the ADA and require test accommodations, you must obtain information regarding procedures and documentation requirements before applying for each Step or Step Component. Detailed information and the required forms are available on the USMLE website . Submit official requests and documentation, following the instructions on the USMLE website. NBME processes requests for test accommodations in accordance with USMLE policies and procedures and renders a decision. You will not be registered until your request has been evaluated and a decision rendered. As a result, you may be assigned an eligibility period that is later than the eligibility period you selected at the time of application. Requesting test accommodations will delay the release of your scheduling permit up to eight weeks. Once your request has been processed, NBME will inform you of the outcome of your request. If you take USMLE Steps or Step Components with test accommodations, your score reports and transcripts may include an annotation that an accommodation was granted. Score recipients who inquire about the annotation will be provided with information about the nature of the accommodation only. All requests and accompanying documentation must be in English. If you request test accommodations, you must send your official request/documentation, following the instructions on the USMLE website, at the same time that you apply for the exam.
