Maine students most often train at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) or through Tufts' Maine Track program. Because our coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, Maine students on clinical rotations anywhere — in state or out — 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 Clinical Year Pass Plan works
- Year-long support, not pay-by-the-hour: one plan covers your entire clinical year — all six core shelf exams (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine) and Step 2 CK itself.
- 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 who scored top-1% on their own exams: you're matched by rotation schedule and weak areas, not by who happens to live nearby.
- Accountability between sessions: 24/7 mentor support and regular check-ins, so the plan survives contact with a surgery rotation.
- Transparent pricing: the Success Plan at $3,497 or the Premium Plan at $6,497 — and the strategy call is free.
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?
Our Clinical Year Pass Plan comes in two tiers: the Success Plan at $3,497 or the Premium Plan at $6,497. Both are built for year-long support across your entire clinical year — shelf exams and Step 2 CK — rather than pay-by-the-hour tutoring. The strategy call itself is 100% free with no pressure to enroll.
Does the Clinical Year 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 1-on-1 coaching, a personalized study calendar that flexes around each rotation, and 24/7 mentor support in between.
Do you work with med students in Maine?
Yes. Coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, so M3s and M4s anywhere in Maine — 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.
Stop re-planning your study schedule every rotation. The free strategy call takes 15 minutes and you leave with a plan either way.
