Frequently asked questions

IQStep2 CK is a USMLE Step 2 CK question bank built specifically for International Medical Graduates (IMGs). Every question is written with IMG-specific clinical contexts, common traps, and real-world management scenarios that reflect the actual exam experience.

IQStep2 CK focuses exclusively on Step 2 CK and is designed for IMGs — not US medical students. Questions emphasize management decisions, clinical reasoning under uncertainty, and high-yield differentials that IMGs commonly struggle with. The platform also includes spaced repetition, AI study planning, and an error notebook built around your specific weaknesses.

The question bank is actively growing. New questions are added regularly across all organ systems, with emphasis on Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry — the highest-yield Step 2 CK domains.

IQStep2 CK is $29/month with full access to all questions, the AI study planner, error notebook, spaced repetition, and performance analytics. $29/month is an introductory price and will increase later — subscribing now locks in your rate. There is no long-term contract — cancel anytime.

Tutor mode shows the explanation immediately after you submit each answer — ideal for learning. Timed mode simulates real exam conditions with a 90-second countdown per question and unlocks explanations only at the end of the block.

After you answer a question, the algorithm schedules it for review based on your performance and confidence level. Missed questions come back after 1 day, low-confidence correct answers after 3 days, medium confidence after 7 days, and high confidence after 14 days.

The AI study plan analyzes your accuracy, weakest organ systems, exam date, and available study hours, then generates a personalized 4-week plan with daily question targets, focus topics, study mode recommendations, and key weekly tasks.

The Error Notebook automatically captures missed questions, slow correct answers, and low-confidence correct answers. Each entry includes a review focus, next action, and a one-click link to practice that organ system — turning mistakes into structured learning.

Yes. IQStep2 CK is built for both US IMGs and non-US IMGs. The questions specifically address the clinical decision-making patterns that differ between international medical training and the US standard of care — a common source of errors for IMGs on Step 2 CK.

The platform shows a predicted score range based on your accuracy and volume of questions answered. This estimate improves as you answer more questions. Consistent daily practice of 20–40 questions with focused review of missed items is the most reliable path to a strong score.
