Nothing for Step 1. They’ll probably make Step 2 P/F and increase the threshold. Tbh these exams have not been shown to be indicative of anything relevant to clinical practice. I’m not saying they’re useless. Scoring so low would be a red flag, but scoring a 250 vs. 260 is gravy, yet people literally judge their self esteem based off of being 10 points above the national average…
