Why Our Students Love Us
Who Actually Needs a COMLEX Level 2 Tutor?
Receiving 1-on-1 help from a COMLEX Level 2 tutor is always helpful, but it isn’t necessary for everyone.
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 2 tutoring sessions focused on strategy and wellness can be very beneficial to your success.
Students At Risk of Exam Failure
If you are more than 80 points away from passing Level 2 CE (as determined by your COMSAE practice exams) and have less than 8 weeks left to study, contact us immediately. An 80+ point gap can be a lot of ground to cover and a professional COMLEX Level 2 tutor should be considered seriously at this point.
Students with a Previous Exam Failure
If you have previously failed USMLE Step 1/ COMLEX Level 1, USMLE Step 2 CK / COMLEX Level 2 CE, or a COMAT Exam, you are at risk for another failed exam if you do not make major changes to your study habits. COMLEX Level 2 tutoring can help evaluate where you went wrong last time and make sure you are better prepared this time and give you the best chance of success.
Students with Weak COMAT Scores
While COMAT performance is usually not considered a predictor of your Level 2 CE score, poor performance on these tests can be a result of problematic study habits and/or knowledge gaps. COMLEX Level 2 CE tutoring can be a proactive step to help ensure you properly prepare for your exam.
Students Who are Falling Behind
It is normal to fall behind a little bit on your COMLEX Level 2 study plan, however if you find yourself regularly unable to complete at least 75% of your work each day, a COMLEX Level 2 tutor may be beneficial. Tutoring will help to hold you accountable to your goals and get back to where you need to be.
Students Applying to Competitive Specialties
If you would like to be accepted to competitive specialties like dermatology, we highly suggest getting a COMLEX Level 2 tutor, especially as Step 1/Level 1 are now pass/fail. A very high score on Level 2 can help boost your application and may be a major deciding factor for landing residency interviews.
Get Ready for Your Dream Specialty
You've put in all the work and now you're in the final stretch before it's time to apply to residency! Students who enter Level 2 with a specialty in mind have the benefit of working toward the precise score they need for a competitive application. Don't let your scores hinder your future, be proactive and achieve your goals!

Frequently Asked Questions
How early should I start preparing for COMLEX Level 2-CE?
Building a strong COMLEX Level 2 study timeline often requires 3–6 months, depending on clinical workload and goals. Starting early allows more time for NBOME-style practice questions, full-length exams, self-assessment, and integration of the best resources for COMLEX Level 2. Osteopathic board tutoring sessions can balance rotation demands with focused test prep, helping you develop lasting strategies for COMLEX success through personalized tutoring online.
Do I need a COMLEX Level 2 tutor if I already passed Level 1?
Passing Level 1 is an accomplishment, but Level 2 raises the bar. Many medical school students seek a COMLEX tutor for targeted exam preparation for competitive specialties (e.g., ortho, derm) as well as one-on-one COMLEX Level 2 prep that strengthens application-focused reasoning. Tutoring offers structured guidance, real-time feedback, and test tips that enhance readiness for residency-level expectations.
If you’re unsure how to study for COMLEX Level 2, working with an expert tutor from Elite Medical Prep helps provide clarity and direction tailored to your study style and schedule.
How is COMLEX Level 2-CE different from Level 1?
While Level 1 focuses on basic science, COMLEX Level 2-CE emphasizes patient management and clinical reasoning strategies that reflect real-world application. Success depends on mastering clinical science through hands-on clinical experience, understanding high-yield topics like applying osteopathic principles to real-world clinical scenarios, and refining endurance for longer exam blocks.
Unlike Level 1’s pass/fail format, Level 2 is numerically scored, and thus performance on Level 2 carries more as residency programs compare candidates. Tutors help students organize an effective COMLEX Level 2 preparation plan that integrates test-taking strategies, efficient use of a question bank, and customized timelines aligned with clinical rotations.
