When it's something else

Where to start

Almost everyone starts in the same place.

You have probably already bought more material than any human being could finish. This page is not more material. It is one program most students should do, and three reasons you might do something else instead.

It isn't an IQ problem. It's a skills problem, and skills are learnable. That goes for the PANCE, and it goes for the EOR or didactic exam standing between you and your cohort.

+78.95

Average score change

Median +81.5. Every direction counted, including the ones that did not move.

EOR saves

Staying with your cohort

Students one exam away from being decelerated, passing the retake instead. The exam that ends a rotation can also end a year.

Six skills

What gets trained

Content, clinical reasoning, test taking, anxiety, peak performance, studying. Not more content you have already seen.

Start here unless one of these three below is you

33 Days to Pass the PANCE

It's the most comprehensive thing I do and the most cost effective. Thirty-three days of daily lessons, live coaching twice a week, and a group of students in exactly your situation. You are not doing this alone and you are not guessing at what to do tomorrow.

  • Daily lessons, 8 to 30 minutes each
  • Built to fit around clinical year, didactic year, or a full-time job, so it does not take over your life
  • Two live coaching calls every week, with me
  • Live question walkthroughs, as a team, so you see how a question gets taken apart, not just what the answer was
  • A 24/7 community, so a 2am panic has somewhere to go yes, actually 24/7
  • Trains the six skills that decide a score, not more content you've already seen
  • Works for the PANCE, and for an EOR or didactic when staying with your cohort is on the line

The three exceptions

When it is something else

Three different problems, three different answers. If none of these is you, go back up and take the cohort.

If it's a timing problem

"I can't wait for the next cohort."

1:1 Rescue Sprint

$1,200

Starts anytime. Four weeks, or two if your date demands it.

we can start this week

Your test date does not care about my calendar, so this one ignores it. You get one dedicated coach and we start on your date, moving as fast as you need to move.

If it's a content problem

"The key terms won't lock in."

The Final Step 3.0, two books

The Final Step 3.0

Coming in December

The third edition. Join the waitlist and you hear first when it opens.

Rapid-fire questions that make you produce the answer instead of recognizing it. That is the whole difference between material that looks familiar and material you can pull back out under pressure.

If you have no idea what's wrong

"I'm totally lost and I don't know what to do."

1:1 Training

$150

One session, plus a written plan.

Open to anyone, at any stageI run these myself

Nobody has ever actually diagnosed why this keeps happening to you. One session to find out, and a plan for the days you actually have. No promised score jump and no promised pass.

For PA programs

If you have students keeping you up at night.

Every program has them. Your faculty teach medicine well. Teaching a student how to study and how to take the test is a separate skill, and remediation eats hours your faculty don't have.

Still not sure?

Write to me and tell me what's going on. I read these myself, and I'd rather point you at the right thing than sell you the wrong one. If the answer is a free video and no purchase, I will tell you that.
