There have been many comments and questions about why this situation was classified as cheating. 1. The issue is that the questions that were studied (memorized) by the students who cheated came directly from Step exams. It’s clear policy from USMLE that all test takers agree not to take or distribute test questions. This is because some test questions are going to be the same from one exam to the next. 2. This situation is different than studying practice questions from UWORLD, for example, since the questions from UWORLD are sample questions designed to help you learn the material, not direct copies of questions from the real exam. UWORLD designs these questions rather than taking them word for word from the exam. 3. There’s a big difference between memorizing something and actually understanding it. The entire purpose of USMLE Step exams is to ensure a certain level of competency in US doctors. Memorizing stolen questions and answers might result in scoring well, but it doesn't result in medical understanding. This is why USMLE is so strict on their rules about no one sharing the questions they encountered on the actual exam. Bottom line: Utilizing practice questions from reputable sources that aim to teach you the material is completely okay. No matter where your practice questions come from, aim to learn the actual material, not just the exact wording of the question. And don't buy practice questions from questionable sources.

PYQ or Previous Year Questions is a standard learning tool in most exams in India snd neighborinf countries. It will be a difficult sell to convince people that these are illegal. Quite silly for the exam body to use a database and not prepare fresh questions. They have a year for that. Poor capabilities.

It's a standard learning tool in every country. But the reason for looking at previous exam questions is just to get an understanding of what material will be on the test so you know what subjects to study. USMLE wants you to understand the concept not the answer. They want you to know WHY question 5 is A not just that question 5 is A.

To my personal experience and other I have viewed recently, we are misdiagnosed by physicians. It usually comes to central reasons, that's in the form of doctors disbelieving our complaints, and stating things like we are exaggerating or delusional. Thus, we need mental health cheek instead. Even if we suffer pain and continues symptoms. One patient said towards this, that doctors may dismiss our words cause they don't match the textbook. They don't feel to "adventure" outside of the norm. Rightnow, I don't have a clear request or question regarde this, but I wish that all patients receive a fair diagnosis and treatment 🖤🖤🖤 Also, I wish to open a discussion about this subject. Thanks 🙏🏾

I will say that, as an IMG myself, have heard about these WhatsApp and Facebook recall groups from many other nationalities, not just Nepal. Perhaps their operation system has not been as effective as the Nepalese one and that's why they have not been caught yet. To be clear, I am sure this is only being done by a tiny percentage of IMGs, but I am confident that these recall groups are more widespread than it seems and that this scandal is just the tip of the iceberg

Not a medical school prof but do teach biochemistry and related subjects at a couple Colleges and can say that there are TONS of methods that can be used for cheating for tests, assignments and lab reports and they are most commonly used by international students in my experience. Places like Studoc, and CourseHero are littered with assignments that were submitted by previous students and I’ve even caught current students submitting their lab reports to said websites and the two mentioned are just a small number of the overall amount of them. Couple that with some administrations that either 1.) Don’t care about stopping it or 2.) Don’t want to clamp on it along with the ridiculous amount of time that needs to be done by profs to properly document the cheating is nuts given everything else that needs to be done.

What I am curious to see... is if it would have mattered. If cheating on a standardized test would have created less competent physicians. I've always been curious about this. Many people at this level of knowledge cheat out of insecurity and fear, not from lack of knowledge or aptitude. I've always have an interesting perspective on cheating at these levels of academia and I'm genuinely curious of the non-ethical impacts it may have... or not have.
@medproject2161
@medproject2161 Месяц назад
how well you do on a test beyond a certain threshold will not demonstrate competency or lack thereof. these standardized tests have more than one goal ie they don't just test your knowledge. they help in stratifying people for residency among other things. if you really want to test someone's clinical knowledge and competence in dealing with situations in a clinical environment then an oral exam in the form of realistic cases is the way to go. you remove the luck component of guessing present in multiple choice questions and remove the bias of having good test-taking skills. cause it seems that the medical world cares more about test-taking skills rather than actual competence, in my humble opinion.

When I gave my USMLEs, the world of IMGs was very tribalistic... Arab IMGs would form their own group, Pakistanis, Nepalis, etc. I used to wonder, how come alot of Pakistanis, Nepalis, Arab IMGs study for like 3 months and get scores like 250-260-270?? I mean, the Law of averages and standard deviations should dictate against it. Then when I gave my step 2 CS, I realized how. All IMGs would book a specific hotel, I ended up inadvertently doing so too. And those who gave the exam, would come back and give a recall of all the cases they saw. That's when I realized that Arab, Pakistani and Nepali IMGs (maybe even Indians too, although I wasn't aware of it.) Had their own recall groups for Step 1 and 2CK. They had just learnt how to game the system really well. I think that this is just the start. Alot of IMGs are perhaps going to have their scores invalidated in the future.

These tests play an enormous part in being selected for a specialty then later for a residency program. Foreigners come here because the pay is a lot higher than in their own country. If they don't match in both of those areas, they may be forced to return home. Each year, we graduate more med students than there are residency positions. I don't know why anyone wants to do their medical training in the US. We used to produce great doctors before switching over to producing predominately bad ones. In med school, they're blasted with a firehose of info that's impossible to retain without perfect recall. They're trained to take tests. At graduation, they haven't acquired the skillset needed to be a generalist or any other kind of doctor. In residency, they're grossly overworked, chronically sleep deprived, and greatly underpaid. It's a 4+ year indoctrination camp where they lose their critical thinking skills and independent thought to become an enslaved bot that follows established algorithms.

A question being worded in a slightly different way shouldn't throw you off when writing an exam. This is the problem with memorizing exact questions and answers instead of learning the material. But the larger issue here is that exact questions were stolen from USMLE exams, which is against the rules med students agree to before taking the exam. USMLE needs to address this for sure, and having more unique questions is a start, but it's still on students to maintain integrity throughout medical school and as a practicing doctor.

how is it cheating though? they did not slip in phone or pass out answers to each other while actively giving the exam.

Every student prepares for competitive exams using previous year questions to recognise the trend and pattern of paper. I dont see how exactly the students were at fault when the federation chose to take the easy way out.

@manya1535 USMLE changes the pool of questions every year for their exams and they do that officially. Out of the 10,000 questions pool, Step 1 has 280 questions which are randomly generated. Out of those 280 questions, not all questions are repeated but some questions do repeat for different test takers in the same region. So giving out the questions and answers to others before the question pool changes is definitely cheating. These are not "Previous Year Questions" which we here in India practice. Hope you get the point.

We people in South Asia has tendency of studying past year questions from the beginning and that is what we used to do in every exams either USMLE or PLAB or NEET or MEC.

as a nepali pre-med student who had no idea abt this scandal i am very disappointed, but i think it does root from pre-med entrance because PYQ are considered more important to study and practice as they give u insights on how the question are made and ofc we dont have official PYQ ppl gather and try to recall what questions had come after the test , which is not considered unethically (to my knowledge dont quote me on this) so, i am quite surprised to know its illegal ( maybe im the only ignorant one here) idk

There is a big difference between discussing high yield topics, and giving/having the exact questions from past years. One requires you actually study the material, while the other is memorization of questions/answers. You will see their analysis shows people do NOT know the material which was not leaked, indicating knowledge deficits.

A 40-year-old woman with a 25-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus has a serum creatinine concentration of 2.5 mg/dl. A creatinine clearance test is ordered to determine the glomerular filtration rate. This test is limited, compared to an inulin clearance test, because of which of the following properties of creatinine? A) Actively pumped into the distal convoluted tubule B) Crosses freely into the loop of Henle C) Reabsorbed into the collecting duct D) Secreted by the proximal tubule

So... Have those that did cheat caused harm when they were practicing? Because if not; then what's the serious problem? If they are conscientious doctors who make sure to stay up to date with current medicine and do everything they can for their patients, why would it matter what they got on a test and how they got it? I can see it being a problem with securing residency (typo in the video I believe; "resideny") with it being so competitive but to remove licenses because of a test result?! Seems wild to me. Maybe this med school exam is different but in my experience all exams are useless (this is in my opinion and I say that being a well educated person who has sat many, many exams)

The exams are there for a reason. It's literally the lowest bar to measure the lowest amount of competency required. If a doctor is unwilling to spend time to actually learn the actual medical concepts under external pressure and resort to cheating, then what makes you think they will catch up to the current medical advancements and study on their own with no external pressure? That's like saying the student who is unwilling to run a mile in gym class is the one who is training for a marathon in their own time... If you think about it logically, It just does not happen.
