It’s our mission to help you pass USMLE NBME Shelf Exams the first time!

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 was pleasantly surprised at the level of difficulty of the questions. I also enjoyed how they add new questions, periodically – even COVID-19 questions! That was amazing. 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!

Challenges medical students face when preparing for USMLE NBME Shelf Exams

Struggle with competing priorities

A big challenge medical students face to prepare for USMLE NBME Shelf Exams is competing priorities. Students struggle with ensuring they are studying the right materials at the most optimized time-frames while taking advantage of modern best-practices in learning science. With TrueLearn’s USMLE NBME Shelf Exams SmartBank, students can easily gauge and keep track of the content that needs the most improvement before exam day.

Leave insufficient time to prepare

One important piece of advice you may hear from doctors is that it is never too early to begin developing a daily study regimen. In doing so, students can optimize their time by setting aside even thirty minutes a day to tackle practice questions or review material to make the most impact. That is why we recommend leveraging your practice materials and question banks several months before your exam. This will allow you to most effectively retain the volume of information you’ll learn.

Fail to focus on weak areas of study

Many students use multiple question banks and complete several practice tests in the weeks or months leading up to the exam, resulting in confirmation of their current knowledge levels. Instead, students should immerse themselves in the right follow-up content to improve their weak points in the shortest time possible.
