IF YOUR TEST CENTER CLOSES ON YOUR TEST DATE(S)

A listing of test center closures is available on the Prometric website.

If your test center is closed due to inclement weather or other issues and you are not able to test, you must do the following:

  • If you have not opened the exam at all (or not yet taken Day 1 for Step 3), you should first try to reschedule your test date(s) by contacting Prometric; you will be required to wait 24 hours after receiving the closure/cancellation notification from Prometric before doing this so that the Prometric system has time to reset. If you are unable to reschedule after waiting the required 24 hours or have other issues, please email FSMB at usmle@fsmb.org
  • If you have opened any part of the exam (or started or completed Day 1 for Step 3), send an email to USMLE Test Admin at testadmin@nbme.org
  • The email should include: your full name, USMLE ID, test center location, brief summary of the issue (e.g., center closed due to inclement weather) and the ticket number from Prometric, if provided.

The test center closure will be verified directly with Prometric. This takes several business days. Once the closure is verified, you will be contacted via email with detailed information for rescheduling your test date(s). A free extension of your eligibility period will be provided, if needed, to allow you time to reschedule.
