Dr. Untara has helped me pass my Step 1 after my second year and my Step 2 at the end of my third year of medical school . The testing strategies and discipline I learned from her for my Step 1 studying carried through all my great scores in my NBMEs during my third year. I knew I needed to come back for my Step 2. For both exams, she made sure to do very focused and comprehensive high yield reviews which help me obtain my great score. I will now be a competitive applicant because of their help and that is something I will endlessly thank them for. She went above and beyond to make sure I was okay and boosted my confidence through my dedicated study time. I couldn't have done it without her!

The owner of Medsmarter brought it to my attention that someone had posted a disparaging review using my name. I used Medsmarter to prepare for USMLE Step 2 and thought they did a fantastic job. Thanks to their help, I am now an MD studying for USMLE Step 3 and applying for residency this year.

Excellent, well thought out and well designed. This is a MUST-HAVE review program for anyone aspiring for USMLE. Being a part of this program was most definitely a breath of fresh air. It was not only the best prep program i have ever attended, but was also incredibly helpful in expanding my intellect. What makes this program so unique and special is its personalized and structured approach, which let me explore my weaknesses and strengthen the same. The instructors (Dr. Untara and Dr. Owen) were very patient and encouraging throughout, making it an incredible learning experience. Looking forward to come back for my Step 2 classes.

It is commonly considered the most challenging exam by medical students and is more comprehensive than exams taken during medical school.

The Step 1 exam contains multiple-choice questions that assess your medical skills in the following basic science knowledge areas:
- Anatomy
- Behavioral sciences
- Biochemistry
- Microbiology
- Pathology

- Interdisciplinary topics, such as nutrition, genetics, and aging
How long does the USMLE Step 1 take?

When is the best time to take USMLE Step 1?
Typically, most US med school students take this exam at the end of their second year.
