Pass Your USMLE Exam on Your First Try or Your Money Back

Synapse QBank is designed not only to help you pass, but also to boost your score by focusing on the highest-yield and most commonly tested concepts on the USMLE. The content is based on patterns observed through extensive teaching experience and working with hundreds of students. If you study the questions carefully—including the explanations and why the other options are wrong—it will cover the majority of what is repeatedly tested. However, passing ultimately depends on how well you retain and apply that knowledge. The best way to assess your readiness is through self-assessments like NBME exams after you finish this QBank and consistently scoring above the passing range for Step 1 or your target Step 2 score.

Synapse QBank currently includes around 1,350 Step 1 and 1,500 Step 2 carefully written questions. Instead of overwhelming you with thousands of low-yield questions, we focus on a system that prioritizes high-yield, commonly tested concepts.

Each question is written by top scorers and reviewed by two independent reviewers to ensure accuracy. An additional ~800 questions are being added over the next month to expand practice and introduce a tiered approach, allowing you to build a strong foundation first and then go deeper as you progress.

Yes. The Step 3 multiple-choice portion is very similar to Step 2 CK, making Synapse Step 2 QBank an excellent resource for strengthening the clinical reasoning, diagnosis, and management skills tested on the exam.

We are also developing a dedicated Step 3 QBank that will be released in the coming weeks. For the CCS (Computer-based Case Simulations) portion of the exam, we recommend practicing with our CCS Cases by The Match Guy, which are specifically designed to prepare you for that unique section of Step 3.

Live tutor access includes a daily 1-hour live session from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern Time, where QBank students can join via Zoom and ask questions. These sessions are shared among users of the platform and are designed for brief, targeted questions rather than full one-on-one tutoring. To ensure fair access, we may limit the number of questions per student during each session.

In addition to asking your own questions, there is significant value in learning from other students’ questions and how tutors approach them. This feature is available in the 3- and 6-month plans. Additional sessions may be added, and timing may be adjusted based on demand and student usage.

The AI Chat is designed to help you go beyond simply reading explanations and truly understand the concepts. After solving a question, you can ask follow-up prompts like why your answer was incorrect, request a simplified summary, or get a step-by-step breakdown.

The system already understands the question, the explanation, and your selected answer, so you don’t need to retype anything. It is available 24/7, and you can choose between different AI models depending on your preference. The feature is continuously improved based on user feedback to make it more effective over time.

We offer 24/7 customer support to assist with any technical issues and help you navigate the platform. You can also submit feedback directly within the QBank, and our experts will review and address it as quickly as possible.

Yes. You can reset the QBank once on the 3-month and 6-month plans directly from your account. You can choose to reset your questions with or without your flashcards, allowing you to review the QBank again while keeping the study materials you want.

You can access the QBank from one device at a time. If you log in from a different device, you may be asked to log out from the previous session.

No. Accounts are intended for individual use only and should not be shared with others. Unauthorized sharing may result in restricted access or suspension of the account.

No. Sharing any questions, explanations, images, flashcards, or other content from the QBank online or with others is strictly prohibited. This includes screenshots, recordings, copying, posting on forums or social media, uploading to AI tools, or distributing content in any form. Any violation may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund and may also lead to legal action for copyright infringement and other violations.

Yes. Synapse QBank is designed to help you improve your performance, especially if you’ve had a prior USMLE exam attempt. It focuses on high-yield, commonly tested concepts without overwhelming you with unnecessary volume, and emphasizes understanding rather than just testing. With structured explanations, AI assistance, and access to a live tutor, it helps you identify weak areas and strengthen your foundation more effectively.

Yes. We offer a refund if you are not satisfied within the first 5 days of purchase, provided that fewer than 100 questions have been completed.

We also offer a performance-based guarantee. If you complete the QBank, demonstrate a high level of mastery (such as scoring above 90%), and still do not pass the exam, you may be eligible for a refund. To qualify, you may be asked to provide supporting documentation, such as performance reports or exam results, to confirm eligibility.

You can also try a sample set of questions for free before purchasing to explore the platform.

AI Chat access is based on a token allocation that depends on the length of your subscription. As a general guideline, you will receive the equivalent of 15,000 tokens per day of your subscription, and all of these tokens are credited to your account at the time of purchase. You may use your tokens however you like throughout your subscription period. For most students, this allocation is more than enough for normal day-to-day use throughout their preparation. If you need additional AI usage, you can purchase more credits at any time.

Please note that tokens are not the same as questions. The number of tokens used will vary depending on the AI model, the length of your prompt, the complexity of the question, and the length of the response generated.

If you have any questions about token usage, limits, or your remaining balance, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help.
