Score Release Information
| The following COMLEX-USA examination scores have been mailed and are available online: | |
| • Level 1 examinations taken on or before July 29, 2010. |
|
| • Level 2-CE examinations taken on or before July 17, 2010. | |
| • Level 2-PE examinations taken on or before July 31, 2010. | |
| • Level 3 examinations taken on or before August 16, 2010. | |
The COMLEX Level 1, Level 2 CE, and Level 3 examinations report both three-digit and two-digit standard scores. The minimal passing 3-digit standard score for Level 1 and Level 2 (CE) is 400, for Level 3 is 350. The two-digit standard score is directly converted from a three-digit score such that 75 is designated as the minimum two-digit passing score. A two-digit score is NOT a percentile score or the percentage of items answered correctly.

July 1, 2010 8:00PM - 2010-2011 NBOME Bulletin of Information Released
Key updates to the BOI for 2010-2011 include:
• Candidates may now take a COMLEX-USA computer-delivered examination up to four times in a 12-month period. The previous maximum was three times. (The number of times a candidate may take the COMLEX Level 2-Performance evaluation in a 12-month period remains unchanged at three.)
• A description of what a passing score means for each COMLEX-USA Level was added.
• There is no fee for candidates rescheduling the COMLEX Level 2-Performance Evaluation more than 90 days prior to the date of the scheduled examination. Previously there was a fee of $50 for rescheduling more than 30 days prior to the scheduled examination.
• The terms and conditions were updated to reflect a stronger emphasis on the candidates' contractual obligation to preserve the confidentiality of the material contained in the COMLEX-USA series of examinations.
• Information about the composition of the standardized patient mix for the COMLEX Level 2-Performance Evaluation was added.
• Information about the standard setting process was added.
In addition, the content of the BOI was reorganized to improve the flow and readability of the information.
