Unlock Your Potential on USMLE Exams

USMLE exams are difficult but they are even harder when you don't have all the information and resources you need to succeed. As a private USMLE tutor I was always frustrated by how many students couldn't afford the help they needed. I founded Step 101 with affordability and accessibility in mind. My goal is to share the knowledge I gained at an affordable price you so you can reach your potential!

Testimonials

"I found the book to be extremely valuable. It provides a unique perspective to studying for board exams that you will not find in your Q banks, textbooks, or other study resources. The book does not teach you exam content, it teaches you test-taking strategies, AKA how to use the content you already know to choose the correct answer on the test."

ET, Penn State College of Medicine

"I thought it provided great insight to both test preparation and test taking. Some of my favorite parts were the first section regarding resources, test prep and schedules. I know I am currently stressed about forming a study schedule that's rigorous enough but attainable and I think you mapped it out really well. I also really enjoyed the flow chart on page 49 about how to review a question block"

EF, University of Kansas School of Medicine

"Overall highly recommend. My biggest takeaway was how important strategy is. The focus is usually on the content and learning the material but for me learning about test-taking strategy was incredibly helpful. I wish I had read this at the beginning of second year or in the summer between M1 and M2."

KD, Kansas City University School of Osteopathic Medicine

"I absolutely recommend this book for USMLE Step 1 preparation! This resource is so helpful, emphasizing not only comprehensive content review but also the often overlooked aspect of test-taking strategy. I have focused predominantly on content in my studies so far, but this book's insights on strategic approaches were really eye-opening. It's also a fairly quick read, so it's not too overwhelming!"
