Put the COMLEX Exams Behind You

Even though COMLEX Level 3 is the exam that ultimately allows doctors of osteopathic medicine to practice in the United States, it is generally regarded as the least important of the COMLEX exams. This is because COMLEX Level 3 is taken after internship/residency has already begun, thus making it much less stressful than the others. However, many students do struggle with the length of Level 3, as it is nearly twice as long as Levels 1 and 2-CE. Students struggling to pass COMLEX Level 3 often experience problems in ther residency programs as they are unable to gain licensure without a successful exam. In this circumstance, working with a COMLEX Level 3 tutor can help students to get back to good standing within their residency programs and be allowed to progress in their career.
