Leverage pedagogical approaches and predictive analytics to overcome challenges and obstacles in USMLE^® and NBME^® Subject Exams preparation

The change to a pass/fail scoring model on the USMLE^®* Step 1 has caused a shift in student study habits, and placed more emphasis on Step 2 CK. Students are no longer aiming for a high three-digit score on Step 1; rather, their focus is just on achieving a “pass” status. This puts them at risk for lower performance on Step 2 CK, which now has a passing standard score of 214, increased from 209.

Thus, efforts to help students gain an in-depth understanding, build a solid knowledge base, and be equipped with the necessary clinical skills required for success on USMLE^® and National Board of Medical Examiners^® (NBME^®) Subject Exams must be intensified. A time-efficient resource that supports active learning and prioritizes strategic learning and assessment will facilitate that goal.

Our new whitepaper shows how medical schools can benefit from embracing a powerful learning loop driven by data analytics and proven by science to enhance medical students’ learning and elevate exam outcomes.
