Step 1 and Step 2 CK Step 1 and Step 2 CK are delivered at Prometric test centers worldwide. Prometric’s test centers are grouped into distinct testing regions. Within each region, Prometric has a central office known as the Regional Registration Center. A list of Prometric testing regions is available on the ECFMG website. When you apply for Step 1 or Step 2 CK, you must choose the testing region where you want to take the exam. If you apply for both Step 1 and Step 2 CK at the same time, you can choose the same testing region for both Step 1 and Step 2 CK, or you can choose a different testing region for each exam. Although you will choose a testing region when you apply, you will not choose a particular test center within that region until you schedule your testing appointment. You can take the exam at any test center in your testing region that offers USMLE, provided there is space available on the date you choose. The test centers available for USMLE are subject to change. To obtain current information on specific test centers, visit the Prometric website or follow instructions on the scheduling permit for contacting Prometric. If you are unable to keep your testing appointment at the test center you select, you can reschedule for a different test center within your testing region, subject to availability. A fee may be charged if you change your appointment, depending upon how much notice you provide when making the change. See
