Iowa FAQ
Yes. All tutoring is online via Zoom, so physical location does not affect eligibility. We run sessions on Central time when that works for you, or on your preferred time zone. Most students schedule evenings or early mornings depending on rotations.
Yes. The 5 Failure Modes diagnostic framework and the data-driven study plan approach work the same regardless of school. Students from University of Iowa Carver and Des Moines University and other Iowa schools have used the program successfully.
Yes. The tutoring service is designed for all three pathways: first-time takers at US MD or DO schools, retakers after a Step 1 failure, and IMGs preparing for USMLE. IMG students often need additional work on test-taking mechanics for the USMLE format and on identifying content gaps that were not emphasized in their original curriculum.
Dedicated study length depends on your baseline NBME score and goal, not your state. Strong-foundation students typically need 6 to 8 weeks, weak-foundation first-time takers need 10 to 16 weeks, and retakers need 12 to 20 weeks. We set the timeline after reviewing your data in the free diagnostic consult.
