Clerkship NBME Grading Tables 2021-2022
Background
The methods for assigning final grades in clerkships for MS3 students in 2021-2022 academic year will utilize a multitiered grading system that requires students to meet minimum passing scores on major grading components (Clinical Assessment, NBME Subject Exam and OSCE). The data in this appendix show the cutoff numbers for passing each clerkship NBME and, on page 10, for passing the clinical assessment component.
Methods
Percentile data are obtained from annual reports from the NBME for each of the six clerkship subject exams. For each new academic year, the last three years of complete annual data are collected, thus for academic year 2021-2022, the data utilized are from 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. Percentile data from each quarter for these three years were collected and averaged to obtain the mean percentile score for each quarter within each clerkship. The scores corresponding to the 10th percentiles were identified and tabulated (see tables 1-6). In order to assign percentile scores for all students, complete percentile ranging tables were generated and are shown in tables 7-12. As shown in the tables, data from quarter 1 will be used to assign percentiles in periods 2-4, while data from quarter 3 will be used for periods 5-7. Note that, uniquely for the Class of 2023, an extra clerkship period was introduced in the May-June period before the normal starting date for clerkships on account of the transition of USMLE Step 1 from a scored to a pass/fail grading system.
Off cycle students
The Offices of Academic and Student Affairs will ensure that percentile rankings for students who are off cycle will be assigned according to the specific period they are completing, rather than the actual period within the annual academic calendar. It should be noted that this system could result in students obtaining the same numerical score on a clerkship NBME during the same period being eligible for different final grades.
Remediation
Any student who fails a clerkship NBME is expected to retake that NBME as remediation. Successful remediation requires achieving a score that ranks at the minimal percentile for passing (i.e., the 10th percentile) or above. The scale used for determining this value will be the scale used in periods 4-7, irrespective of when the remediation exam is taken.

Table 1-6: Minimum passing score (equated percent correct) for each clerkship. The clerkship number refers to the clerkship for the individual student. Note that the Family Medicine NBME has two reported scores, one for the Core (C) exam and one for the Core + Chronic Care + Musculoskeletal exam (CCM). The higher of these two scores is used to determine the student grade.
