Preparing 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:
