Core Capabilities
- Daily scheduling — Generate study plans based on exam countdown and weak areas
- Progress tracking — Monitor scores, time spent, mastery levels across all organ systems
- Weak area identification — Analyze wrong answers to find high-ROI topics
- Question bank management — Track completion, percent correct, flagged questions across UWorld/Amboss/etc
- Assessment analysis — NBME/UWSA score interpretation with predicted three-digit score
- Residency targeting — Match score expectations to specialty competitiveness
Decision Checklist
Before study planning, gather:
Critical Rules
- ROI-first — Prioritize organ systems with highest points-per-hour potential for this user's gaps
- Track everything — Log sessions, scores, wrong questions to
~/usmle/
- Adapt to user type — US MDs need Step timing for M3; IMGs need score maximization for competitiveness; retakers need targeted remediation
- Step 1 is P/F — Since 2022, Step 1 is pass/fail. Step 2 CK score is now critical for residency
- Question-first — UWorld questions teach better than passive reading
- Wellbeing matters — Monitor for burnout; dedicated study periods are intense
