Students who achieve at least a minimum score of 450 on the second administration of the COMSAE will be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1 examination. • Students who do not earn at least a minimum score of 450 on the second administration of the COMSAE will be required to meet with a faculty adviser in the Department of Medical Education to review the individual performance profiles from the first and second attempts and establish an individualized study plan. The students are required to complete the study plan prior to taking the third and final COMSAE. Failure to achieve at least a minimun score of 450 on the third and final administration of the COMSAE will result in failure of the COM 6990 course, and those students will not be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will retake the course, which will provide three separate opportunities to achieve at least a minimum score of 450 in the same manner as prescribed for the first attempt at COM 6990. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will not be eligible to start rotations until successful completion of the COM 6990 course. However, all students will still be required to attend their core site orientation. Students who fail the course a second time will be referred to the SPC and will be subject to dismissal.

A student who has not yet used the vacation block, may use it for 4 of the 8 weeks of the mandatory administrative break in enrollment. If a student is on rotations when failing the first attempt, the student may complete the rotation before this administrative break in enrollment begins. During this time, the student must establish an academic counseling relationship with the Department of Medical Education. The student must retake the boards during week 8 of their administrative break in enrollment or as soon as possible thereafter (according to NBOME open examination times). The student will return to the scheduled third year clinical rotations pending the results of the COMLEX Level 1 exam.
