“I was grinding on my own and my NBMEs still weren’t moving. There’s no way I would’ve passed Step 1 without IvyTutoring. The team gave me a real plan and actually checked in. Already signed up for Step 2 and shelf exams.”
A year-long system that turns your clinical year into your Step 2 prep — so your shelf scores and your Step 2 foundation build at the same time.
Step 2 CK is pattern recognition, not memorization. Our system runs live case-debate sessions (“what’s the next best step?”), rotation-specific plans from day one of clerkships, and daily cases — with a Harvard-trained team of 265+ top scorers coaching you through every shelf and Step 2 CK until you pass.
“I was grinding on my own and my NBMEs still weren’t moving. There’s no way I would’ve passed Step 1 without IvyTutoring. The team gave me a real plan and actually checked in. Already signed up for Step 2 and shelf exams.”
“Amazing tutors, not just smart, but structured. They helped me pass Step 1, and I’m using them again for Step 2 because it actually works. If you’re serious about passing, this is a MUST have.”
“Looking back from residency, this is the best way to study for Step 1. The plan removed all the guesswork. You show up, follow the system, and you’ll pass easily. I wish I’d found IvyTutoring sooner.”
Vitmary failed her first attempt before coming to us. Studying in her second language, she worked the system all the way up to 80% on her last practice test — and passed Step 1.
“Just got word that I passed. Still waiting on the score report but honestly I’m so happy I just had to go ahead and let you know. I really appreciate all your help this past month — I’m literally still in disbelief.”
“Working with Ivy Tutoring was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my Step exam preparation. The tutors went above and beyond, not just as tutors, but as mentors who genuinely cared about my success. I would not have passed Step 1 without their support.”
“The team is incredible: professional, hardworking, and understanding. They are dedicated and care about their students. They supported both educational knowledge and the emotional process throughout studying. Highly recommended.”
“IvyTutoring is the BEST. Thanks to them, I was able to get into Harvard for my dream fellowship. So worth it. I honestly would’ve been willing to pay 10x what I did for the service I received.”
“IvyTutoring is a complete gem, I can’t believe I found it. It was the best decision I made in my prep and it made passing the exam feel super stress-free.”
“Highly recommended. I used to do 30-40 questions per day, and now it's more like 70-80. IvyTutoring has made life much easier.”
“Amazing company!! The tutoring is not only informative but also incredibly interactive and engaging. Could not recommend a better service!”
“Best money I ever spent!!”
“I jumped up to a 60… I am so incredibly grateful for you. I owe it to you and your extension! Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Thank you so so soooooooooo much for your generous and untiring help! I have passed my exam and the credit goes to you!”
“I owe IvyTutoring for the pass. They worked with me every step of the way and made sure that I was motivated and had all the content I needed to pass. Thank you so much!!”
One flagship program for your entire clinical year. The system plans, teaches, tracks, and nudges — you never decide what to study. Backed by 2,000+ hours of 1-on-1 coaching and 670+ students.
A rotation-by-rotation plan you never build
IM, Surgery, Peds, OB/GYN, Psych, and Family Medicine — each rotation’s plan auto-scheduled to its shelf date and on your phone the day you start. You never decide what to study.
Two live clinical-reasoning sessions a week
Real case debate — “what’s the next best step?” — built from what your cohort is actually missing, plus one focused 1-on-1 hour every week.
Board Buddy tracks your reasoning misses
Every question you touch is logged, and Board Buddy flags your patterns — wrong next-step, premature closure — and projects where your Step 2 score is heading.
Green / yellow / red accountability
A weekly check-in flags you green, yellow, or red, with a shelf debrief after every exam. The system reaches out the moment you slip — you can’t quietly fall behind.
Daily cases, every rotation
Daily cases and targeted question review keep your clinical reasoning sharp from your first clerkship all the way to test day.
Our promise: we coach you until you pass.
We coach you through every shelf and Step 2 CK until you pass — unlimited coaching and full access to your plan, your cases, and your team at no additional cost. Your program can’t run out before the result does.
15 minutes on Zoom, we'll review your scores and build a plan.
The four things students ask us most before their strategy call.
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 2 CK 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 $3,200. Everything is included: your day-by-day plan, your question bank, your live classes, 1-on-1 coaching that unlocks when your data calls for it, and unlimited coaching until you pass.
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.
Our Harvard-trained team of 265+ Step 2 Scorers has helped students go from sub-50% predicted pass to confidently passing in as little as 8 weeks. We do that with intensive 1-on-1 tutoring, a personalized study calendar, and 24/7 mentor support.
If we don't think we can help you pass, we'll tell you on the call.
No. We don't offer refunds, and that's by design. A refund hands your money back and leaves you exactly where you started. Our guarantee is in the work itself.
As long as you show up and follow your plan, we stay in it with you: unlimited tutoring and full access to your resources at no extra cost until you hit your goal. Your program can't run out before the result does.
Instead of a money-back clause that expires, you get the stronger promise: we keep working with you until it's done.
