There are many benefits of our lessons and advising, and some of them depend on the needs and goals of the individual student. In general, some of the common benefits of our test-prep lessons, from what our students have told us, are: 1. Personalized explanations for practice test questions, including the Free 120. In our opinion, the sample questions offered by the NBME are one of the most important resources to prepare for Step 1 and Step 2 CK, but unfortunately, they do not come with explanations. Students often spend countless hours trying to find explanations scattered across forums or less reputable sites and cannot be sure if this information is accurate. Furthermore, explanations provided by the NBME and UWorld for practice tests and questions are not personalized to why you got the question wrong, and often do not outline the best reasoning to get similar questions correct in the future. 2. Unique techniques for content retention and NBME-specific multiple choice question strategy, which helped our founder score a 281 on Step 2 CK. We often recommend a flashcard creation strategy (and analyze cards made by students to teach them how to make the most useful cards possible) that allows for rapid memorization and long-term retention of large amounts of content. As experienced test prep tutors with thousands of hours of experience, we know how the NBME “likes” to ask about certain subjects, and can teach students how to strategically answer questions based on test-taking psychology principles and NBME-specific tendencies. 3. A personalized schedule that your tutor monitors for your progress and adjusts appropriately. We provide each student with a detailed and truly custom schedule, so that you know you are using each day efficiently and staying on track for test day. Our schedules are adaptive and personalized, not the cookie-cutter schedules used by other companies. We specialize in efficient studying, and help students achieve their goals without overworking themselves, by building in strategic breaks and rest days. Moreover, your tutor is responsible for assessing when you're ready to take your exam, so you will no longer have to worry or guess at your test day readiness.
