Preparing for the Exams – why your score is important
Residency Program Directors receive thousands of applicants for their programs. The most significant filter they use to select their candidates is USMLE score. In addition, once you have passed the Step 1 or Step 2 CK exams, you cannot re-sit them in order to achieve a higher score. That is why it is important to prepare well and achieve a high score, first time.
