Pennsylvania FAQ

Common Questions From Pennsylvania

Do you work with students based in Pennsylvania?

Yes. All tutoring is online via Zoom, so physical location does not affect eligibility. We run sessions on Eastern time when that works for you, or on your preferred time zone. Most students schedule evenings or early mornings depending on rotations.

Can I use tutoring if I attend Perelman School of Medicine (Penn) or a related Pennsylvania school?

Yes. The 5 Failure Modes diagnostic framework and the data-driven study plan approach work the same regardless of school. Students from Perelman School of Medicine (Penn) and University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and other Pennsylvania schools have used the program successfully.

I am an IMG planning to match in Pennsylvania. Can this help?

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.

How long does it take to prepare for Step 1 from Pennsylvania?

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.

How does the Good Fit Guarantee work?

Your first paid tutoring session is risk-free. If it is not a good fit after session one, you do not pay. No questions asked.
