大部分Step2临床知识（CK）的测试成绩在四周内公布。然而，由于对题库进行必要的修改，以及对新考试交付软件的改变，于2016年7月10日这周开始的考试，一些考生的成绩将被延迟公布。
 
       7月10日这周参加Step2 CK考试的大部分考生，越过八月，成绩将于9月14日公布。根据考生的情况，需要在9月14日之前接收考试成绩的，则建议他们参加Step2 CK考试的日期不迟于2016年7月9日。
 
       在这段时间内，原有Step2 CK的考题数量将有一个过渡改变。总题量从不超过355道下降到不超过318道。虽然这个转变将会迅速出现在许多考试中心，然而可能某些地方的转变需要稍长时间来完成。整体过渡期可能会持续6周左右。请注意以下几点：
 
       可比较新、旧考试形式；各个题型题量的减少将影响评分比例的结果。
 
       一天的考试长度不变。考试当天将继续分为八个版块，每个版块60分钟，还有一个可选的15分钟教程，以及45分钟休息时间，总共9个小时。
 
       各个版块中每种题型的题量会有所不同，但不超过40道。每个版块的题量是在该版块开头的屏幕上显示。请注意这个信息，相应调整你的步伐。

Step 2 CK – Delay in score reporting and change in number of test items

Posted: May 20, 2016
Most score reporting of Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) results occurs within four weeks of testing. However, because of necessary modifications to the test item pool, as well as a change to new test delivery software, there will be a delay in reporting for some examinees who test beginning the week of July 10, 2016.
The target date for reporting Step 2 CK scores for most examinees testing the week of July 10 through late August will beSeptember 14, 2016.  For examinees whose circumstances require that they receive Step 2 CK scores before September 14, it is recommended that they take Step 2 CK no later than July 9, 2016.
During this time period, a transition will occur in the number of items in current forms of the Step 2 CK examination.  The total number of items will decrease from no more than 355 to no more than 318. Although the transition will occur quickly at many test centers, there may be some locations where the changes take slightly longer to complete. The overall transition period will likely last approximately 6 weeks. Please note the following:

• Scores on new and old exam forms will be comparable; the decrease in the number of items per form will be accounted for in scoring the examination results.
• The length of the examination day will remain unchanged. The test day will continue to be divided into eight 60-minute item blocks, an optional 15-minute tutorial, and 45 minutes of break time, for a total of 9 hours.

The number of items per block on a given examination form will vary but will not exceed 40 items. The number of items in a block is displayed on the screen at the beginning of the block.  Please note this information and pace yourself accordingly.
