FAQ

Questions, answered.

What's included in the free trial?
The Step 1 trial gives you 20 free questions a day for 3 days; the Step 2 CK trial gives you 10 free questions a day for 3 days — each with the full teaching explanation. No credit card required for either.
How many questions are in each QBank?
Step 1 has 4,000 exam-style questions across every discipline — pathology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, anatomy & embryology, and behavioral science. Step 2 CK has 2,390+ clinical vignette questions across 23 systems. Every question includes a full teaching explanation.
Is this a subscription?
The Step 1 QBank is a one-time purchase for a fixed access window — 1, 3, 6, or 12 months ($29–$119) — with no auto-renewal. The Step 2 CK QBank is billed monthly at $29 and you can cancel any time.
What is spaced-repetition review?
Every Step 1 question you miss becomes a review card. Get it right and it comes back later on a widening schedule (1 → 3 → 7 → 16 → 35 days); miss it and it returns the next day — so you spend your time on exactly the material you haven't locked in yet.
Are the questions really exam-style?
Yes. Every question is written in NBME-style clinical vignette format with full explanations that teach the reasoning behind each answer, including why each distractor is wrong.
Can I study on my phone?
Absolutely. The QBanks and MatchPlan are fully responsive, so you can practice questions and update your plan from any device.
What if it isn't right for me?
Start free with no credit card. If it's not the right fit, simply don't upgrade — you're never charged.
