My [31/F] boyfriend [33/M] keeps failing his test for residency as a doctor and is unwilling to consider other career options other than retaking the test year after year

Wait wait wait hold up, that's not how the process of getting a residency, even as a foreign medical graduate works? I'm in med school and in my experience with foreign med grads gunning for a US residency is different. Sure, the USMLE is a multiple choice exam that youre scored on. But you still go through the Match for residency with US med students. Is he just not applying for the Match because he thinks his USMLE is too low? Med students match into programs with CRAZY low scores though? The Match is a ranked system but they take into account way more stuff than just a score? Feel free to ask me if you have any more q's about how it all goes down. I'm about to go through the process myself so I know a lot of details
