How the Step 2 Pass Plan works

The clinical year is one campaign, not seven separate exams — every shelf is Step 2 CK prep, and your study system should compound from rotation to rotation. The Step 2 Pass Plan is built around that:

  1. Free 15-minute strategy call — we review where you are in your clinical year, your upcoming shelf dates, and your Step 2 CK timeline.
  2. Support across all six core shelves, all the way to your Step 2 CK exam — Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Psychiatry, and Family Medicine — plus Step 2 CK itself.
  3. A calendar that flexes with your rotations — your coach rebuilds your week-by-week plan as each rotation and shelf date arrives, so heavy call weeks don't derail you.
  4. 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring + live Step 2 group sessions 3 times a week — 20 hours of 1-on-1 over Zoom in total with a tutor hired for top scores on the exams they teach, plus group sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until you take your Step 2 CK exam, and check-ins by text every two weeks.

The Step 2 Pass Plan is one flagship program — pricing is shared on a free strategy call. It includes 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring in total, plus live Step 2 group sessions 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) until you take your Step 2 CK exam.
