Question 1

Is this just for boards, or for the whole MD/DO program?

Accepted Answer

Both. USMLEPrep covers pre-clinical sciences (MS1/MS2), Shelf / NBME subject exams during clerkships, USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3, and COMLEX Levels 1–3. The same flashcard engine, qbank, and Socratic tutor adapt to whichever stage you're in.

Question 2

Is USMLEPrep better than UWorld?

Accepted Answer

We're complementary. UWorld excels at question volume; USMLEPrep excels at adaptive learning, AI-personalized study plans, and a Socratic tutor that builds clinical reasoning. Most students use both — USMLEPrep for daily structured study from MS1 onward, UWorld for late-stage exam practice.

Question 3

How does the AI adapt to me?

Accepted Answer

Every flashcard rating, question attempt, and tutor exchange updates your mastery profile. The system reschedules cards by board frequency and weak areas, generates targeted questions, and adjusts the Socratic difficulty per topic and per year of training.

Question 4

Will it work for COMLEX?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Pro includes COMLEX Level 1 and Level 2 content, including OMM, somatic dysfunction, and counterstrain.

Question 5

Is the AI accurate medically?

Accepted Answer

AI explanations are grounded in indexed, board-aligned content with inline citations, and the model surfaces uncertainty when present. As with any AI study aid, it can still be wrong — always verify high-stakes facts against a primary source like First Aid or UpToDate.

Question 6

Can I import my own flashcards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload Anki .apkg or CSV files and we'll ingest them into our SRS engine alongside your other decks.

Question 7

What's the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Subscription charges are non-refundable. You can cancel anytime from billing settings — cancellation stops the next renewal but the current period isn't refunded. See our Terms of Service for the full policy.

Question 8

Do I keep access if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Yes — until the end of your current billing period. After that you drop to Free, and your study history is preserved.

Question 9

Is there a student discount?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is already aimed at students. Annual saves up to 40% vs monthly. If your school wants to bring USMLEPrep in for a class or cohort, email hello@usmleprep.org for institutional pricing.

Question 10

Can I use this offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes for flashcard review (PWA-cached). Question bank, the AI tutor, and case simulator require connectivity.

Question 11

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Personal data is scrubbed within 24 hours of deletion; study history is purged from active databases within 30 days. Anonymized aggregate statistics (e.g. question difficulty calibration) may be retained.
