A system that tells you exactly what to study every single day, tracks every question you answer, and gives you 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring plus live group classes 5 times a week (Monday–Friday) until you’re in passing range.
Most students don’t fail Step 1 because they aren’t smart enough — they fail because they study everything instead of what matters. The Pass System watches every question you answer and rebuilds your plan around exactly what you’re getting wrong, with tutors hired for top scores on the exams they teach giving you 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring and live group classes 5 times a week (Monday–Friday) until you’re in passing range.

A system that plans your days, tracks every question, and gives you 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring plus live group classes 5 times a week (Monday–Friday) until you’re in passing range — not another self-study course. Founded by Harvard-trained tutors, with tutors from Harvard and other top universities. Built for the M2 or M3 who needs to pass, not just “study more.”
#1: A Day-by-Day Plan You Never Have to Build
A personalized study calendar, built for your exam date and auto-added to your phone the day you start. You never decide what to study — the system tells you daily, and hands you the full question bank, AI planner, flashcards, and USMLE-style practice exams.
#2: Live Coaching Built From Your Data
Live group classes 5 times a week (Monday–Friday, 90 minutes each), built from what your cohort is actually missing, until you’re in passing range (above 75% on an NBME practice exam) — plus 20 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring in total, aimed where the data says you need it most (an NBME under 58%, two failed practice exams, or a weakness that won’t move).
#3: Accountability That Won’t Let You Slip
Board Buddy tracks every UWorld and AMBOSS question you touch and projects your pass probability, so you always know if you’re on track. Your team checks in by text every two weeks, flags you green, yellow, or red, and reaches out the moment you fall behind.

Our guarantee: live group classes until you’re in passing range.
You keep coming to our live group classes, 5 times a week (Monday–Friday), until you score above 75% on an NBME practice exam (our passing range). That continued access is the guarantee — not a refund or a guaranteed exam result.
Because we deliver that guarantee as continued group-class access, all purchases are final and non-refundable. Read our refund policy.
15 minutes on Zoom, we'll review your scores and build a plan.
The four things students ask us most before their strategy call.
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 1 coach.
We review your latest NBME / UWorld scores, your timeline, and what's actually not working in your prep. Then we put a real plan in front of you.
By the end of the call you'll know exactly where you stand, what to fix first, and whether 1-on-1 coaching is the right move. If it's not, we'll point you to free resources and you'll leave with a plan either way.
It's one flagship program at $4,500. It includes:
On the call we make sure it's the right fit for your timeline and your NBME gap before you enroll. If it isn't, we'll point you to free resources instead.
The strategy call itself is 100% free and there's no pressure to enroll.
Yes, that's exactly who we work with. Most of our students come to us failing NBMEs, with a test date closing in, and no clear plan.

If we don't think we can help you pass, we'll tell you on the call.
