The USMLE program is changing the limit on the total number of times an examinee may take the same Step or Step Component. After this policy is implemented, an examinee will be ineligible to take a Step or Step Component if the examinee has made four (4) or more prior attempts on that Step or Step Component, including incomplete attempts. This policy change will reduce the total number of attempts an examinee may take per Step or Step Component from six (6) to four (4). The new policy will be implemented no earlier than January 1, 202
