Figure 1 Step 2 CK predicted and actual scores.

Notes: This graph demonstrates validation of our model by comparing predicted Step 2 CK scores from our model and the actual Step 2 CK scores with the corresponding regression line. The model was able to predict Step 2 CK score within a mean of 4 points and a standard deviation of 8 points.
Abbreviation: CK, clinical knowledge.
