to take as practice exams to prepare for their COMLEX Level 2 CE exam. Students must only utilize the forms specified, as the other forms are utilized as the official COMSAE and as the remediation exam if needed. NBOME logs the COMSAE exams taken, which allows VCOM to monitor the exams purchased by students to ensure that no COMSAE exams that have been taken are utilized as a remediation exam.

COMSAE Phase 2: First and Second Attempt

A. Students who score 480 or greater on COMSAE Phase 2 will receive a “P” (Pass) grade for the Comprehensive Review Course II and will be allowed to sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE within the VCOM approved testing window. Once students pass COMSAE Phase 2 they are to continue to study until they take the COMLEX Level 2 CE during the approved testing window (usually June through mid-December, although most students test June - July). B. Students who score 460 – 479 on COMSAE Phase 2 will receive an “IP” (In Progress) grade for the Comprehensive Review Course II (those who score 460-479 on COMSAE Phase 2 on their second attempt will maintain the previously assigned “IP” grade for the Comprehensive Review Course II). To resolve the “IP” grade and be released to sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE, the student is required to do the following: • Meet with CIFSS to design a prescribed remediation plan. The plan includes a tentative date the student is to sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE. o The remediation plan includes providing CIFSS with weekly updates regarding study plan progress and question bank performance. Additional requirements may be prescribed in the remediation plan. Students must follow and complete a prescribed remediation plan as designed. VCOM will monitor students’ progress toward completion of the prescribed remediation plan and readiness to sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE, which may alter the tentative testing date established in the remediation plan. o Students who fail to participate in the prescribed remediation plan (which includes providing CIFSS with updates regarding study plan progress and question bank performance) or who have not participated in the required support meeting, will receive an “F” (Fail) grade for the course and be brought before the Promotion Board. These students will not be released to sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE until the “F” grade is resolved, as they will not have successfully completed the OMS 3 year. • Students must complete the remediation plan and sit for COMLEX Level 2 CE prior to October 1st of their OMS 4 year.
