10 focused minutes a day, and we tell you exactly what to do — a plan built around your shifts that drills only what moves the score.
Residents are time-starved, so effort-reduction is the whole edge. The system builds a plan around your residency hours, targets only what actually moves Step 3 — ambulatory medicine, biostatistics, and CCS case strategy — and drills CCS with the Board Buddy Case-Manager game, with expert tutors coaching you 1-on-1 through a fixed package of hours.

The four things students ask us most before their strategy call.
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 3 coach.
We review your latest UWorld and practice-test 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.

On the call we make sure it's the right fit for your timeline and your score gap before you enroll. If it isn't, we'll point you to free resources instead.
