With the Step 1 exam now using Pass/Fail scoring, the numerical score on the Step 2 CK exam is even more important than ever. How can you be sure that you’re preparing for the USMLE Step 2 exam in the best way possible? In this episode, we interview Dr. Ryan Downey, test performance coach and expert in educational assessment. Dr. Downey discusses some of the key strategies he used to help his client “David“ boost his Step 2 scores from 208 on his practice exams to an official Step 2 score of 260.

The key to test success is a personalized study strategy that works for each individual client. Using the results from David’s Diagnostic Intake Assessment, which is a proprietary tool developed by Dr. Downey and Dr. Samir Desai, David was able to change the way he studied to incorporate more use of self-assessment, more active learning strategies, and more practice with clinical reasoning tools.
