How can I compare my performance to that of my peers?
After you submit your answer to a MKSAP question, next to each answer option you鈥檒l see the percentage of MKSAP 19 learners who have selected that answer.
To further assist MKSAP 19 learners in comparing their performance with that of their peers, percentile score normalization graphs based on pre-test statistics are available. A population of pre-testers answered MKSAP 19 questions without the assistance of text or other supporting materials during a pre-publication period. These learners 鈥 practicing generalists and subspecialists within Internal Medicine 鈥 answered the questions online and only within sections outside of any self-identified area(s) of subspecialty expertise, ensuring that these comparative statistics represent performance on the questions by the general population of practicing internists.
Percentile scores were calculated for each of the sections and are presented graphically so learners may compare their test scores to this population of pre-testers using standard percentile normalizations. To compare your performance within a given subspecialty to that of peer learners, complete all questions in the subspecialty. Identify the percentage you scored correctly along the x axis of the subspecialty's graph. The corresponding percentile (y axis) indicates what percentage of pre-testers scored lower than you. For example, if your test score (x axis) was 67%, and the corresponding percentile (y axis) is 85%, this would mean that a score of 67% was a better score than 85% of other test-takers.

Answer at least 8 of the 15 MKSAP 19 CORE questions correctly to pass and earn the badge for that subspecialty. After you complete a quiz, you鈥檒l have a chance to review your results and retake the quiz if you wish. The question order is randomized each time you start a quiz.
There are twelve badges to collect in the MKSAP 19 CORE pilot feature. A printable certificate for each badge you鈥檝e earned is available as a fast and easy way to demonstrate your commitment to learning and for inclusion in your professional portfolio.
Will CORE be included in the new ACP MKSAP?
In April, 2025, following the February 2025 launch of ACP MKSAP, ACP plans to release a CORE standardized assessment feature that will be fully integrated into the new ACP MKSAP program. The new CORE feature will meet the needs of internal medicine physicians to recognize their dedication to continual learning and assessment, and their achievements in keeping up with changes in medical knowledge. Physicians will be able to collect ACP MKSAP CORE badges and print a certificate for each earned badge to demonstrate their commitment to learning and for inclusion in a professional portfolio. Final details of the ACP MKSAP CORE program are under development.听
