The Elite Difference is in the Details
There are several different COMLEX Level 2 tutoring options available to medical students, so what makes Elite the best? What are our COMLEX Level 2 resources? When you sign up to work with a COMLEX Level 2 tutor, you are getting much more than access to our world-class MD/DO tutoring services. 24/7 email support, a student success team, an organized custom curriculum, and our 100% unused hour refund guarantee are just a couple of reasons 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 >80 points away from passing Level 2 CE (as determined by your COMSAE practice exams) and have <8 weeks left to study, contact us immediately. A 20+ point gap can be a lot of ground to cover and a professional COMLEX Level 2 tutor should be a serious option 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 that this time you have a successful outcome.
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 ensure you properly prepare for your exam.
Students Who are Falling Behind
It is normal to fall behind a little bit on your 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 your world is going to end if you aren’t accepted into a Dermatology program, we highly suggest getting a COMLEX Level 2 tutor– especially after Step 1/ Level 1 become pass/fail. A very high score on Level 2 can help bolster your application, and, after 2022, it will very likely 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 determine your future, be proactive and achieve your goals!
Learn MorePreparing for Residency Starts Now
COMLEX Level 2 is a challenging test and requires significant studying and ultimately decides if you should be allowed to proceed in your medical studies and anticipated career as a DO. Especially as Level 1 transitions to a pass/fail scoring model, excellent performance on COMLEX 2 (as well as USMLE Step 2 CK) is imperative to matching into a great residency program. This is why many students can benefit from working with a COMLEX Level 2 tutor to help boost their scores and achieve their goals.
Here’s a COMLEX Level 2 breakdown, or a COMLEX Level 2 blueprint:
What is COMLEX Level 2?
The second of the three COMLEX exams, COMLEX Level 2 CE (Cognitive Evaluation), is designed to assess foundational biomedical sciences and osteopathic principles with an emphasis on knowledge of clinical science, care, and settings.
