A day-by-day plan, every question tracked, 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring, and live classes every weekday until you’re in passing range.
Most students don’t fail Step 1 because they aren’t smart enough — they fail because they study everything instead of what matters. The Pass Plan finds exactly what you’re getting wrong and fixes it.
“Working with Ivy Tutoring was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my Step exam preparation. … I can honestly say that I would not have passed Step 1 without their support.”
“Amazing tutors! This organization helped me to pass step 1 and I’m using them again for Step 2. A MUST have!”
“I just received my step 1 results and passed. I couldn’t have done it without Blake’s support and encouragement. I had been studying for step 1 for a long time and had been horribly burnt out.”
“Their ability to break down complex material into clear, manageable concepts made a huge difference in how I approached studying. … I can honestly say that I would not have passed Step 1 without their support.”

Not another self-study course. Founded by Harvard-trained tutors for the M2 or M3 who needs to pass, not just “study more.”
#1: A Day-by-Day Plan You Never Have to Build
A personalized study calendar, built for your exam date and auto-added to your phone the day you start. You never decide what to study — the system tells you daily, and hands you the full question bank, AI planner, flashcards, and USMLE-style practice exams.
#2: Live Coaching Built From Your Data
Live classes every weekday (1–2 hours each), built from what your cohort is missing, until you’re in passing range (above 75% on an NBME) — plus 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring aimed where your data says you need it most.
#3: Accountability That Won’t Let You Slip
Board Buddy tracks every UWorld and AMBOSS question you touch and projects your pass probability, so you always know if you’re on track. Your team checks in by text every two weeks, flags you green, yellow, or red, and reaches out the moment you fall behind.
What’s included in your Step 1 Pass Plan
15 minutes on Zoom, we'll review your scores and build a plan.
Straight answers to what students ask before their strategy call.
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 1 coach.
We review your latest NBME / UWorld scores, your timeline, and what's actually not working in your prep. Then we put a real plan in front of you.
By the end of the call you'll know exactly where you stand, what to fix first, and whether 1-on-1 coaching is the right move. If it's not, we'll point you to free resources and you'll leave with a plan either way.
It's one flagship program at $4,500, with everything in “What’s included” above.
On the call we make sure it's the right fit for your timeline and your NBME gap before you enroll. If it isn't, we'll point you to free resources instead.
The strategy call itself is 100% free and there's no pressure to enroll.
Yes, that's exactly who we work with. Most of our students come to us failing NBMEs, with a test date closing in, and no clear plan.
Ivy Tutoring was founded by Harvard-trained tutors, with tutors from Harvard and other top universities.
If we don't think we can help you pass, we'll tell you on the call.
Keep your question bank — we don’t replace it. The Pass Plan adds what a question bank can’t: a schedule built for your exam date, live classes on what your cohort is missing, and 1-on-1 tutoring aimed at your weak spots.
Board Buddy tracks your UWorld and AMBOSS questions, so your tutor sees exactly where you’re losing points.
Monday through Friday, live online, 1–2 hours each. You get the class schedule when you start.
You keep coming until you’re in passing range — above 75% on an NBME practice exam.
You book them with your tutor at times that fit your week. Each session is aimed at what your data says you’re missing, not a generic topic list.
Your schedule is built around your exam date. If your date moves, we adjust your schedule to match, so you’re always studying the right thing for the time you have.
