THE DETAILS
STEP 1: WE BUILD YOUR PERSONALIZED STUDY PLAN
As soon as you register, we’ll reach out to setup a 1hr session to discuss your current situation and create a personalized plan so you can begin your preparation as soon as possible. You’ll sit down with one of our USMLE coaches (all are MD’s who have passed the exams), they’ll get your entire history, discuss the challenges you’re experiencing or have experienced in the past, and help you create a unique, personalized study plan to help you make as much progress as possible right away. We’ll build a plan around your favorite resources or make recommendations based on what’s worked for students similar to you. We’ve partnered with Online Med Ed to include 3-months of free USMLE video content into your purchase so that your coach can provide you with specific content to review prior to day 1 of your session if needed. Ultimately, the goal of this plan is to ensure that you’ve got a step-by-step plan in your hands prior to the start of your session so that you know exactly what to do in order to address your unique, specific needs.
STEP 2: DAILY QUESTIONS TRAINING & CONTENT REVIEW
At the core of this program is a daily topic-specific 2hr live high-yield USMLE question/content review + test-taking skills session (via Zoom). Each session consists of a combination of topic-specific USMLE-style questions chosen specifically from Amboss to cover the highest-yield concepts and facts plus a rapid review of the high-yield facts pertaining to each day’s topic. Students will have the opportunity to participate 1-on-1 or via chat throughout the session. By combining high-yield questions with a fast-paced fact review, we’ll cover more than 200 of the highest-yield concepts and more than 2500 of the highest-yield facts that are likely to show up on exam day. Your instructor will also provide you with tips, tricks, & strategies throughout each session to help you become more efficient and effective with your test-taking skills. You will receive a downloadable PDF to be used during your daily sessions designed to help you reinforce all of the important & high-yield facts that will be discussed throughout each question. In addition to the daily sessions, you will receive three (3) months of access to our online video platform (online med ed), three (3) months of access to our full audio drills library, and three (3) full online assessment exams from our USMLEDx platform. Daily sessions run from 10am-noon central.
STEP 3: ATTEND WEEKLY OFFICE HOURS
One of our USMLE coaches will be available weekly for any additional support you may need throughout your time with us. Office hours are designed to address specific questions you might have about strategy, exam timing, and/or other details about your preparation strategy. Office hours are held each Monday at 6PM central time.
STEP 4: 1-ON-1 COACHING/TUTORING (optional)
Add daily 1-on-1 coaching/tutoring to your Step 1 prep by selecting the “Gold Package” at checkout. This option allows you to meet with one of our coaches each weekday for 1hr* for four (4) weeks. During this time, you can do questions on whichever topic(s) you want, whether that’s in line with the daily topic of our AM questions or something more specific to your weaknesses.

FAQs
I Need To Start Off-Cycle, Can I Get In?
Yes, you can join anytime you like, however keep in mind that we work on a 4-week schedule and start with the basics first (path, pharm, micro), and move into systems in weeks 2-4. As long as you’re ok with starting in the middle of our schedule, you’re free to join whenever you like. If you are selecting the 1-on-1 coaching/tutoring add-on, please reach out to ensure availability. * Be sure to select the ‘starting off-cycle’ option on your registration form.
Does This Work For COMP or COMLEX?
Yes. Many of our students start while preparing for their school’s COMP exam. We also work with DO students all the time and are well-versed in this exam. If you are working with a coach 1-on-1, let them know which exam you’re preparing for so they can tailor your sessions to your personalized needs. If you are attending the 4-week ‘foundations’ program, all training is geared towards the basic sciences content tested on the USMLE Step 1 exam. DO students should be prepared to review additional osteopathic content on their own time.
What If I’m Not Ready After 4 Weeks?
If you have a weak basic sciences foundation, we’d recommend that you select the ‘Until Exam Day’ option so that you can continue coming to the daily questions sessions as well as accessing our team of coaches during the weekly live office hours for continued support until your exam.
What Time Are The Daily Question Sessions?
Sessions run from 10am-noon central time unless otherwise stated in our private FB student group.
What QBank Are You Using For Questions?
We use Amboss as the questions foundation for our daily sessions.
When Can I Meet With A Coach If I Purchase 1-on-1 Tutoring?
Our USMLE coaches are typically available between 9am-5pm eastern time Monday-Friday.
We schedule students on a first-come-first-served basis, so students who register earlier have more options to choose their time.
You will be scheduled for the same time, Monday-Friday, for the duration of your four weeks. Because we have limited spots, we cannot accommodate changes to the schedule without impacting another student’s schedule.
If you have a specific request, please reach out to sara@usmleguys.com to discuss options. We will do our best to accommodate students, as long as other students are not impacted.
Will There Be Session Recordings?
Daily session recordings will be available inside the private FB group, however it is strongly advised that you attend as many of the sessions live in real-time to get the most out of your investment.
How long are the individual sessions?
Individual coaching sessions are scheduled for an hour, Monday through Friday. Each session will last approximately 55 minutes.
Is There A Passing Score or Money-Back Guarantee?
Students who register and attend all sessions in either the four (4) week or unlimited program may return for unlimited sessions + receive a 1hr 1-on-1 strategy session if they don’t pass their exam. Students who register for the “Gold” package may return for another four (4) weeks of daily 1-on-1 tutoring/coaching + the unlimited questions sessions at no additional cost. See our Terms & Conditions for more details.
I’m Overseas And Can’t Make The Program Live, Can I See Replays?
Yes, however it is strongly encouraged that you try to attend the sessions live in order to get the most out of your investment. We will post session recordings by end of day, so you can watch replays if you like.
What Else Is Included In The Program?
All students who join will also receive 3-months of access to our partner Online MedEd (OME) platform, access to daily quizzes, mobile phone-based drills, audio drills, and three (3) full assessment exams from our USMLEDX assessment platform. Since we use Amboss during our sessions, students can submit a receipt for their Amboss purchase and receive a one (1) month refund.
