USMLE Step 1 diagnostic

Find the gaps you can't see

A test that locates your weak spots, shows you why they're there, then hands you the resources to dissect standardized questions — and slay the boards.

No account required for the sample. Full 200-question forms are $15 each.
How it works

From a missed question to a mastered concept

Take it like the real exam

Highlight everything you think is an important clue pointing toward the correct answer, cross out the ones you know are false, and leave an answer uncrossed if you're unsure.

Taking a question like the real exam

Get tutored on every single question

A personal tutor that expertly analyzes your process on every question you answer.

How you read the vignette

Every clue color-coded by where it points — critical findings, general support, and the key facts you skipped, flagged.

How you read the vignette

How you ruled out answers

Cross out what's clearly false, leave the two you can't separate — then see exactly why those two keep getting confused.

How you ruled out answers

Which traps were successful

Not every distractor — the one trap you actually fell for: the answer you knew, hidden in unfamiliar pathology.

Which traps were successful

Get a diagnosis and a treatment plan

First you name why you missed it. Then the review names the concept gap — and the smaller deficiencies underneath — and prescribes the fastest fix.

Your diagnosis and treatment plan

Study resources that waste no time

The highest-yield resources built only for your deficiencies — nothing you already know.

Flashcards from your misses

Built straight from the cues you skipped and the concepts you couldn't rule out.
