Why Our Students Love Us
Who Actually Needs a COMLEX Level 1 Tutor?
Receiving 1-on-1 help from a COMLEX Level 1 tutor is always helpful, but it isn’t necessary for everyone.
Students with Weak MCAT Scores
If your MCAT score is below 509, (or below 30 with the old scale) you are at risk for weak COMLEX Level 1 performance. MCAT scores have the strongest independent correlation of any factor to COMLEX scores and a Level 1 tutor can help you get on the right track.
Students with Anxiety/ Poor Testing Skills
If you historically have high test anxiety and/or are a poor standardized test taker, a couple COMLEX Level 1 tutoring sessions focused on strategy and wellness can be very beneficial to your success.
Students At Risk of Exam Failure
If you are greater than 80 points away from passing COMLEX Level 1 (as determined by your COMSAE practice exams) And have less than 8 weeks left to study, contact us immediately. A 80+ point gap can be a lot of ground to cover and a professional COMLEX Level 1 tutor should be a serious option at this point.
Students with a Previous Exam Failure
If you have previously failed COMLEX Level 1 or USMLE Step 1, you are at risk for a second failed exam if you do not make major changes to your study habits. COMLEX Level 1 tutoring can help evaluate where you went wrong last time and make sure that this time you have a successful outcome.
Students Who Are Falling Behind
It is normal to fall behind a little bit on your Level 1 study plan, however if you find yourself regularly unable to complete at least 75% of your work each day, a COMLEX Level 1 tutor may be beneficial. Tutoring will help to hold you accountable to your goals and get back to where you need to be.
IMG Students
2020 official data from the USMLE reports that first time Step 1 examinees from non-US/Canadian medical schools have only an 87% pass rate (compared to 98% from US medical schools). Despite the lower pass rate, IMGs must excel on their USMLE exams to have a chance at US residency acceptance. Therefore, USMLE Step 1 tutoring is a good idea.

What is COMLEX Level 1?
COMLEX Level 1, the only pass/fail exam in the COMLEX series, still requires serious preparation. Many DO students find it the most challenging due to its broad content and high-stakes nature. Success depends on mastering multiple subjects and applying knowledge to clinical scenarios.
The exam covers anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, microbiology, osteopathic principles, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology. Key challenges include understanding musculoskeletal structures, osteopathic techniques, biochemical pathways, disease processes, and drug interactions. Each subject presents unique difficulties that demand focused study.
A major hurdle is integrating osteopathic principles with core medical sciences. Personalized tutoring and structured study plans help reinforce high-yield concepts and improve test-taking skills. With expert guidance and a strategic approach, students can tackle COMLEX Level 1 with confidence.
How is COMLEX Level 1 scored?
COMLEX Level 1 is scored as pass/fail. Score reports have two sections: The status of “Pass” or “Fail,” and the Performance Profile that provides performance information to the examinee (and the school) for the purposes of continuous quality improvement and lifelong learning.
How Can You Effectively Prepare for COMLEX Level 1?
COMLEX Level 1 is a one-day, computer-based exam with 352 questions split into two four-hour sessions, plus a 40-minute break. Each session includes an additional 10-minute break. Effective time management and familiarity with the format are essential for success.
A structured six-month study plan makes preparation more manageable. The first two months focus on foundational review of high-yield subjects like anatomy, physiology, and osteopathic principles. Months three and four emphasize question-based learning, identifying weak areas, and taking full-length practice exams. The final phase prioritizes test-taking strategies and additional timed practice exams.
Since every student has unique strengths and weaknesses, a personalized approach is key. Our tutoring service tailors study plans, adjusts intensity based on progress, and provides targeted strategies for mastering difficult subjects and test-taking techniques. With expert guidance, you can build confidence and perform your best on COMLEX Level 1.
