Kentucky is home to med students on clinical rotations at schools including the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the University of Louisville School of Medicine — and because our coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, students at every program in Kentucky (and Kentucky residents rotating out of state) get matched with the right Step 2 CK coach for their rotation schedule and shelf timeline.
Now that Step 1 is pass/fail, your Step 2 CK score carries more weight in residency applications than ever — and the clinical year that leads up to it is a gauntlet of six shelf exams stacked on top of full-time rotations. The students who do best treat the whole year as one campaign: every shelf is Step 2 CK prep, and the study system compounds from rotation to rotation.
How the Step 2 Pass Plan works
- 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring plus live Step 2 group sessions: 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 — the same sessions also cover the core shelf exams (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine).
- A calendar that flexes with your rotations: your coach rebuilds your week-by-week study plan as each rotation and shelf date arrives, so heavy call weeks don't derail you.
- Tutors hired for top scores on the exams they teach: you're matched by rotation schedule and weak areas, not by who happens to live nearby.
- Accountability between sessions: check-ins by text every two weeks and a 1-on-1 onboarding session, so the plan survives contact with a surgery rotation.
- One flagship program: the Step 2 Pass Plan — pricing is shared on the free strategy call.
Frequently asked questions
What actually happens on the strategy call?
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 2 CK coach. We look at where you are in your clinical year — which shelf exams are coming up, your latest UWorld and practice-exam numbers, and your Step 2 CK timeline — then put a real plan in front of you. By the end you'll know what to prioritize and whether 1-on-1 coaching is the right move.
How much does Step 2 CK tutoring cost?
The Step 2 Pass Plan is one flagship program built for your clinical year — shelf exams and Step 2 CK. It includes 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring (in total), live Step 2 group sessions 3 times per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) until you take your Step 2 CK exam, question bank guidance, a personalized study plan, a 1-on-1 onboarding session, and check-ins every two weeks for accountability (by text). Pricing is shared on the free strategy call. No program guarantees an exam result, and all purchases are final and non-refundable. The strategy call itself is 100% free with no pressure to enroll.
Does the Step 2 Pass Plan cover shelf exams too?
Yes — that's the point of it. The plan supports you across all six core shelf exams (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine) and then Step 2 CK itself, with 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring, live Step 2 group sessions 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) until you take your Step 2 CK exam, and a personalized study plan that flexes around each rotation.
Do you work with med students in Kentucky?
Yes. Coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, so M3s and M4s anywhere in Kentucky — at any program, on any rotation — get matched with the best Step 2 CK coach for their situation, not just whoever is nearby. Sessions fit around rotation hours, call schedules, and shelf dates.
