The Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) is a computerized, multiple-choice examination of current knowledge requisite for the general, undifferentiated practice of medicine.
The SPEX is administered through a national computer-based testing network called Prometric Testing Centers. The test can be scheduled Monday through Friday throughout the year; some locations have Saturday hours.
There are more than 300 test sites across the United States and Canada. Test site information will be provided to examinees upon contacting Prometric to schedule their exam. Test site information is also available on Prometric's website.
