Happy Match Week everyone 🎉 I wanted to share something important with you all, especially for those who are in the middle of the grind right now and wondering if it’s going to work out. Check out the screenshots attached to this message from our former Premeducated students. Every message you’re seeing here is from one of our students who once felt EXACTLY how you feel right now. Struggling to pass COMSAEs. Failing COMLEX Level 1 and/or Level 2. Questioning whether they were even going to make it to this point. And they still matched. It's one of the hardest grinds they ever did... But because they stayed in the fight, adjusted their approach, and kept moving forward when it would’ve been easier to quit... They made it! Your current situation is not your final outcome. Where you are right now: whether you’re stuck on practice exams, rebuilding after a failure, or just trying to figure out how to study the right way does NOT determine whether you will match. What matters is what you do next. Use these as proof that it’s possible. Stay consistent. Fix the gaps. Keep showing up. You’re a lot closer than you think! Congrats to our new incoming residents!!!

🎉 Huge congratulations to H on passing COMLEX Level 2 on her second attempt! 🎉 H came to us after failing Level 2 with a 318. Two months later, on her retake, she scored a 416 and passed. That’s nearly a 100-point jump in a very short window — and it did not happen by accident. What made H’s case especially challenging is that she is a non-native English speaker. That means every single COMLEX question required two layers of work: 1. Interpreting a long, convoluted question stem in a second language 2. Then applying medical reasoning under time pressure 3. Studying twice as long every day for the same comprehension Anyone who has taken COMLEX knows how brutal the wording can be — even for native English speakers. Add language processing on top of that, and it’s easy to see how smart, capable students get buried. But H’s struggle wasn’t about intelligence or work ethic. It was about process. When we worked with H 1-on-1, we focused on: • Slowing down and structuring question interpretation • Identifying what COMLEX is actually asking versus distracting language • Building pattern recognition instead of translating every sentence word-for-word • Practicing timed exposure so test-day anxiety didn’t hijack performance • Creating a realistic study plan that prioritized comprehension over brute force Once the strategy matched the exam, the score followed. H’s story is a great reminder of something we see over and over: Failing COMLEX does not mean you aren’t capable of passing. It usually means your strategy doesn’t match the exam — especially if English isn’t your first language. We’re incredibly proud of H and grateful she trusted us during a high-stress retake period. Stories like this are exactly why we do 1-on-1 tutoring. If you’re a COMLEX retaker, a non-native English speaker, or someone who feels like the exam wording is working against you — you’re not alone, and there is a fix. Congrats again, H. You're going to be a doctor!!!

J got her score back with this previous release right before Thanksgiving--what a great way to celebrate! You literally can't get mad about political conversations with family, when you just passed your last board exam of med school. It's a law. Anyway, I worked with J for level 1 on a repeat attempt and she returned for some help with shelf exams toward the very end of her third year. She failed FOUR shelf exams. So...bracing for impact, we had an extended prep to make sure she was ready for level 2. She even had to interrupt dedicated and do a rotation in the middle of it to make sure she had enough credits to graduate on time. But she stuck to the plan, hit a couple 400+ COMSAEs, felt confident, and made it through in the end on her first try! 🆙 Huge glow up! 🆙 Like I say in stage 4, if you're deciding whether you should postpone or not--always evaluate your confidence. It's a big component that dictates your success! Congrats, J!!

We had a level 2 score release today! Unfortunately, L scored 392 on his first attempt. After 6 weeks with us, he passed with a 460+! Huge moves, congrats!

She put in a ton of hard work. Congrats, Rosie!!!
