The United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) is one that all United States physicians will need to pass to obtain licensure. The interviewers ask this question to learn about your study habits and how you prepare for important exams. Describe if you joined a study group, hired a tutor, attended a preparatory course, made flashcards, or studied alone every night.

"I prepared for the USMLE by starting to study on the day I started medical school. I had access to USMLE study materials through student support services at my medical school and formed a peer study group. We studied for one hour every night and joined a live review course online. By keeping a regimented schedule and holding each other accountable, everyone in my study group passed the exam."
