A hardworking 220 is and should always be better than a cheating 270.
Let's not pretend scores are everything.
What about home country clinical experiences or even home country postgraduate degrees which are often ignored because the applicant didn't score much? Quite unfair tbh

You're exactly right about everything.
It's not possible to remember each and every question. Hence multiple people are involved in recalls. Also, the question bank gets changed & that also hinders the plans of these test takers who cheat.

Look at UK exams. PLAB and MRCP/MRCS are 5-6 hour long exams with 2 sessions of 3 hours each. Makes complete sense. Your knowledge would be tested. You get a break b/w sessions where you eat/freshen up to come back.
How's USMLE logical for 8-9 hours straight without any break?

1)Probably ECFMG or NBME are never going to find out how so many of the 250/260/270 scorers on USMLE step 1 and 2 exams did so because they memorized "leaked questions" well before taking their exams and got into highly competitive programs across the US

If they aren't sponsoring visas, technically they're supporting only a selective pool of IMGs who have roots in the US someway or the other and not taking IMGs coming straight from their home countries.
