*Outside of Psychiatry training programs, the most common specialties where Psychiatry applicants entered training were Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and the combined specialty of Pediatrics/Psychiatry/Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The most common specialties are only reported where 10 or more applicants entered training.
 
**Applicants who received a passing score on a subsequent attempt are reflected — with that subsequent score — in the terciles above.  
 
Note: If the number of applicants is less than 10, the number and percentage are replaced with a double dash (–). N = number of applicants; % = percentage of tercile total, where the tercile represents a range of Step 1 scores within that specialty [or percentage of those who failed Step 1 on their first attempt]. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
