Recalls problem
The USMLE has become a joke.
Everyone is now using recalls for Step 2 and Step 3. The problem is not only that they use recalls, but that they affect other examinees as well because you end up being compared to them. NBME and UWSA used to predict your score reasonably well, but now it does not matter how good your predicted score is because the cheaters have ruined everything. Even the FSMB has started comparing IMGs separately from U.S. graduates.
Scores like 280 on Step 2 and 260 on Step 3 were almost unheard of before, but now people are taking Step 2 even before Step 1 and still scoring above 280.
If this mess does not stop, the USMLE will lose its entire value, and I would not be surprised if they eventually cancel it and replace it with another exam instead.
