How can you best prepare for the USMLE Step 2 exam? In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Ryan Downey, test performance coach and expert in educational assessment. Dr. Downey discusses three of the “highest utility,” or most effective, active learning techniques he teaches his clients.
