High-Yield USMLE Question Banks

USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, & Shelf Exam Prep

Trusted by thousands of medical students nationwide.

I utilized the TrueLearn Qbank to prepare for the CCSE and Step 2 CK exams. I believe it provided me with a solid way to test my knowledge base prior to continuing my review with out resources. I earned a very satisfactory score!

I liked that the overall question length is representative of what one would find in the USMLE exams and loved how the administrators are open to suggestions. It denotes the genuine interest they have to keep perfecting their question bank. You don’t see that with other q-banks. I have already recommended TrueLearn to friends.

I was pleasantly surprised at the level of difficulty of the questions. I have already recommended TrueLearn to friends and colleagues. Don’t think about it, go for it, you’ll thank me that you did.

I started using TrueLearn during my first year of medical school. The explanations and style of questions have been spectacular in helping me prepare for Boards. I recommend TrueLearn for all M1 and M2 students!

I found the questions really detailed. Also, I loved the explanation with most of them having a mnemonic video.

The explanations are arguably just as important as the questions (if not more important), and I feel like TrueLearn did a great job with the explanations. One thing I really liked about the explanations was the TrueLearn Insight. The Bottom Line feature was useful also, as it summarized the explanation in one or two sentences.

The foundation to great USMLE test prep start with great content!

 

The Most Stringent Item Writing Process

It’s all about the quality and starts with high-performing physicians who draft initial questions and answer explanations. All items go through a peer-review process. We then introduce items through beta trials. Once items are fully vetted for accuracy and blueprint alignment, they are finally introduced to our live SmartBanks.

Constant Feedback And Question Refreshes

We use in-app customer ratings for the initial layer of quality feedback. Our editorial team reviews this feedback and pulls items out of the rotation when necessary to ensure our Smartbanks’ quality standards. We are always introducing new questions and editions as the blueprints change to ensure the most accurate exam experience.

USMLE Frequently Asked Questions

The USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) is a series of exams (Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3) that are taken by medical students and graduates as part of the process of obtaining a medical license to be able to practice medicine in the United States.

Most need 6-9 months with dedicated studying time each week. The length of time it might take you to prepare for the USMLE depends on a variety of factors, including which exam you are preparing for. Residents often find they need less time preparing for Step 3 than medical students need preparing for Step 1 or 2 CK.

Outside of being dedicated to your study schedule, take as many practice questions as you can. Ideally, these questions will be mapped to the USMLE content outline and written in a way to simulate the exam experience.

TrueLearn USMLE SmartBanks include a predictive score calculator, which allows you to input your performance and receive a prediction of your likely score on your exam.
