Pass Step 1. Guaranteed.

Med School Bootcamp is the all-in-one resource to learn medicine and pass Step 1, guaranteed.

We’re the only Qbank built for the updated Step 1, with high-yield videos linked to every question, world-class illustrations, a pass guarantee, and more:

• Step 1 Qbank w/ Linked Videos: 2,500+ high-yield questions similar to the updated Step 1 exam, each linked to a video lesson that teaches exactly what you need to know.
• High-yield Videos: Short, board-focused videos that teach you to think like a physician, with a quick Bites quiz after each video to reinforce active learning.
• World-class Illustrations: Every explanation is written to bring together the most frequently-tested concepts in one place for comprehensive learning.
• Unlimited Ask Bootcamp AI™: Ask Bootcamp AI anything, without worrying about how many prompts you have left.
• AnKing Anki Integration: Your Qbank and videos sync to the most popular med school Anki deck, AnKing.
• Board-style Breakdowns: Dr. Roviso walks you through exactly how to approach Step 1 questions.
• Step 1 Study Schedule Creator: Create a personalized study plan to stay on track.
• Performance Tracking: Always know what to study next and whether you're on track to pass.
• Anatomy Bootcamp ($199 value): Ace your gross anatomy class with cadaveric image Qbanks and videos.
• Step 2 Content (Preview): Get early access to our Step 2 content as we roll it out, included at no extra cost.
• Mobile App: Study anywhere on iOS and Android.
• Pass Guarantee: Our 1-year and 2-year memberships come with a pass guarantee.

The biggest difference: Bootcamp is the only Qbank built for the updated Step 1 from the ground up.

Other Qbanks use retrofitted questions written 10+ years ago for a different exam, with a focus on trick questions and low-yield trivia. We wrote our Qbank to be similar to the test you're actually going to take.

A few more things that set Bootcamp apart:

• Linked video lessons: Miss a question? Watch the linked video to master the concepts the USMLE wants you to know, without digging through other resources.
• Similar NBME-style reasoning: The real exam focuses on converging high-yield information, rather than trying to trick you with one small detail. We write our Qbank like the real exam does.
• High-yield, zero bloat: 2,500 questions that matter, instead of 3,500–5,000+ padded with low-yield content you'll never see on test day.
• Pass guarantee: We stand behind our results and are confident in your success.
• Half the price: $299 a year, versus $500+ elsewhere.
• Unlimited Ask AI prompts: Ask Bootcamp AI anything, without worrying about how many prompts you have left.
• Copy/paste and screenshot freely: Use our content in your favorite study tools. We won't call the police.

About as close as it gets. The feedback we hear over and over from students who've taken Step 1 is that it felt familiar and “the content was strikingly similar to the real exam.”

That’s not a coincidence, it’s because we obsess over creating the most similar Step 1 Qbank possible.

Here's why:

• New question formats and styles: Including new SOAP-style questions, longer clinical stems, nutrition content, expanded ethics, and more.
• Same reasoning as the real exam: Direct NBME-style logic, with none of the low-yield trick questions made to trip you up on edge cases.
• High-yield by design: We focus on the most frequently-tested concepts on the updated Step 1, not the low-yield trivia from before the pass/fail era.

Yes! Bootcamp is built for the latest Step 1 blueprint, including the newer question formats: SOAP-style questions, expanded nutrition content, and longer stems. We keep the Qbank updated as the exam evolves, so you're never practicing on an outdated version of the test. What you study is what you're likely to see.

We have an in-house team of licensed physicians that write every question, review for accuracy, and apply student feedback to ensure it’s similar to the real exam, so you can trust that what you're practicing is like the real deal.

Bootcamp is built to be your primary Step 1 resource. The Qbank, linked videos, world-class illustrations, and Anki integration take you all the way from first learning the content to applying it on test day, and plenty of students have used Bootcamp alone to pass. We're confident enough that we back every 1-year and 2-year membership with a pass guarantee.

That said, everyone studies differently. Some students use only Bootcamp; others pair it with another Qbank or resource, and Bootcamp is built to fit in either way. Use the combination that works best for you.

Ask Bootcamp AI™ is your personal tutor built right into the platform. Get a clear, specific answer on the spot, without digging through another resource to figure out what you missed. It's unlimited on every membership, so you don’t need to worry about using up your prompts, like other Qbanks.

Yes, Bootcamp is fully integrated with AnKing (v12), the most popular med school Anki deck. There are two easy ways to use it:

• After a Qbank session, click "Get Anki Cards" to pull up the matching cards in AnKing.
• After a video, unsuspend the relevant cards using the #Bootcamp tag.

You need the most up-to-date AnKing deck, which you can grab on AnkiHub.

Not an Anki person? Our Bites quizzes cover the same high-yield content with easy to use recall questions built right in the video course.

Yes! Our iOS and Android apps sync with your account so you can watch videos, practice questions, and review wherever you are. Note: You must have an upgraded membership to access the mobile app.

Absolutely. DO and MD students take the same classes, and there's a ton of overlap between Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1. In fact, USMLE question banks are positively correlated with performance on COMLEX Level 1 (Source).

We also include OMM content for our DO students, which you'll find in the sidebar. And our Bites quizzes are perfect for COMLEX prep, since they hit the high-yield concepts boards writers love to ask about.

Here's what we'd recommend:

• During preclinical courses: Watch the videos and do the Bites to build your foundation, then practice applying what you learned with the Qbank questions.
• During dedicated Step 1 period: Focus on completing the Qbank, and pull up the linked video any time a question exposes a knowledge gap. Create a study schedule on Bootcamp to keep yourself on pace.
• During clinical rotations and Step 2: Before starting a rotation, watch the Crash Course videos to learn the basics and impress your attendings. Then complete the Qbank to learn and apply your knowledge.

Either way, your performance tracking shows you what to review next so you're always spending time where it counts.

As early as you want, Bootcamp is built to be with you from day one of M1 all the way through Step 1:

• M1: Start with Anatomy Bootcamp to ace your gross anatomy class, and use the videos and Qbank to stay on top of your other classes.
• M2: Keep using the videos and Qbank for your classes while you build your Step 1 foundation.
• Dedicated: Make the Qbank your home base for Step 1 prep.
• M3 & M4: Our Step 2 content is rolling out to support you through rotations.

The earlier you start, the more you get out of it, which is why our 2-year membership is built to cover your whole preclinical journey.
