I scored 273 in USMLE Step 2CK | Watch Me Take The Exam Again One Year After

I scored a 273 on the USMLE Step 2 CK. But one year later, I wanted to answer a question that had been bothering me... Was that score still in me? Without months of dedicated exam preparation, I sat down and took 10 USMLE-style exam questions to see what remained after a year of clinical work and everyday medicine. In this video, you'll see: My reasoning when trying to answer questions How much knowledge I retained after one year of not reading any USMLE-related material Whether the USMLE actually improves baseline clinical knowledge Whether you're studying for Step 1, Step 2 CK, or just curious about how medical knowledge changes over time, I think you'll find the results surprising. Would you take the USMLE again after scoring 273? Let me know in the comments.
