(COMLEX)

Facing the challenges of the COMLEX Step 1, now pass/fail, can be daunting, especially with rising fail rates. However, there's a bright side: we can tackle this together!

At MedBoardTutors, we customize our approach to revamp your study strategy, helping you unlock your potential. We focus on correcting past mistakes and transforming them into opportunities for a higher score.

For those aspiring to excel in competitive surgical specialties, we're here to guide you. You’re probably taking USMLE as well, but a high COMLEX score is essential to round out your application. Our most effective strategy involves 20-40 hours of tutoring over two months, leading to an average score increase of 2-5 points per hour. These results reflect the success stories of numerous students who have achieved exceptional results with our support.

How We Help

  • From question approach strategies, in-depth content review, study plan and resource guidance, our tutors are here to address every detail for the student’s COMLEX preparation.

  • We leave no stone unturned in preparing for COMLEX. Yes, we will make sure you master the core organ systems and basic sciences, but we also incorporate innovate approaches to OMM and ethics, which often trip people up on their COMLEX Exams.

  • Practice COMSAEs, WelCOM’s, and a variety of other examinations will be used strategically to assess progress and ensure the student’s successful preparation. No one has more experience projecting your score than we do, and we will always be honest about your progress.

  • Our tutors will help every student decide which resources are best for their specific COMLEX and for their personal preparation. We know all the Q banks, front to back, and even create our own High-Yield resources for each student.

  • Using the selected resources, our tutors will help devise an effective schedule within the constraints of each student’s personal situation. We can break things down to an hour-by-hour schedule, if that’s what you need.

  • We will meet as often as necessary to ensure your continued growth and progress. Most students most benefit from meeting with our tutors 1-4 hours per week, depending on how much time remains before taking the COMLEX.

Testimonials

  • “Trust me, you want to learn from the best. I prefer learning from someone who knows what to do to get results. Perks of having MedBoardTutors as your tutor: Personalized study plan. Knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient tutors. Highlights the most tested concepts on exams. Incorporates questions from various question banks into tutoring sessions. Integrates concepts from different disciplines (which is what the USMLE likes to test you on). You can really understand why MedBoardTutors has had so much success in their USMLE exam preparation tutoring when you attend their lessons. They will tell you where to direct your energy at (what is important and what is less important), how to study, and the potential questions that you may encounter on the exam. Most important of all, they are super NICE! You would never feel bad about asking the basic questions or any questions for that matter. They have a way to explain the concepts in a clear and interesting way. I used to have a lot of anxiety and confusion when I studied for the same materials in medical school; now I look forward to my tutoring sessions with MedBoardTutors, and have so much fun learning the materials I once regarded as tedious and complicated. The best part? You see results when you’re doing questions from the question banks.”

  • “Among all the materials available to prepare for USMLE, MedBoardTutors guidance and tutoring was undoubtedly the most instrumental in achieving the 255 I ended up with on Step 1. They truly care about helping other students become successful, and their tutoring style reflects this empathy: they not only tailor content to the individual’s strengths/weaknesses but also work on improving test-taking skills depending on the individual’s needs. This individualized approach, combined with their unique emphasis and ability to integrate and explain discrete details with the big-picture concepts, allowed me to not only improve my Step score but my approach to problems during my clinical years. MedBoardTutors has undoubtedly been a tremendous resource during my time in medical school, and I am extremely confident in their abilities.”

  • "I discovered MedBoardTutors when I realized that I had not been seeing score improvements in my individual studying despite my Step 1 test date being only 7 weeks away. My tutor was very open to taking in my input with regards to my study style and favorite resources when formulating a study plan for me, which provided some much-needed structure to my test prep schedule. During the study sessions, my tutor pointed out exactly what was high yield for each subject so that I could use my study time wisely, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and finished off the tutoring session by actively working through practice questions with me to solidify the knowledge learned earlier in the session. With MedBoardTutors, I not only learned the material for Step 1, but also felt significantly less anxious when approaching my studies, which was equally as important. I would highly recommend MedBoardTutors for anyone who is interested in improving their score—their knowledge and expertise in test preparation is unmatched!"

  • “I worked with MedBoardTutors throughout my third year of medical school. Before starting with them, my first few shelf scores were between 35th and 60th percentile. After starting with them, my remaining shelf scores were all above the 80th percentile. I then worked with MedBoardTutors during my dedicated Step 2 CK prep time, and well exceeded my goal Step 2 CK score. I have always worked hard, but have struggled with multiple choice and testing skills. Working on both material, as well as questions and testing strategies, MedBoardTutors helped me finally get to the next level of test performance. In terms of qualifications, they are probably the smartest individuals I have come across. Despite this, however, they are very down-to-earth, personable, and nonjudgmental, and I always really enjoyed our sessions. They are great at hitting all the high-yield topics/factoids the NBME loves to ask, and I scored a lot of points that way. Overall, my investments with MedBoardTutors has been worth every penny as it has greatly increased my competitiveness as a residency applicant.”
