Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What examinations does Ace Med Boards tutor?

    We provide private tutoring for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3; COMLEX-USA Level 1, Level 2-CE, and Level 3; and selected Shelf and COMAT examinations.

  • Who is tutoring best suited for?

    Our programs are designed for students who are below their target score, have reached a plateau, are struggling to organize their preparation, have an approaching exam date, or are preparing after a previous unsuccessful attempt. Students already performing near their target may need only the 10-hour program or an individual strategy session.

  • Is the tutoring private or group-based?

    All purchased tutoring hours are delivered one-on-one. Ace Med Boards may offer optional group workshops or office hours, but those do not replace the private hours included in your package.

  • What happens during the Board Score Audit?

    We review your latest assessment data, current resources, study schedule, exam date, and target outcome. We then identify the most important content, reasoning, pacing, and study-system problems affecting your performance.

    The free audit is a diagnostic consultation, not a full tutoring session or a promise of admission into a guarantee-eligible program.

  • How is my study plan created?

    Our team builds the plan from your assessment results, available study time, exam date, current resources, and performance goals. The plan may include assigned question blocks, content review, spaced review, practice assessments, and scheduled tutoring topics.

  • How quickly will I receive my study plan?

    The initial plan is generally delivered after the first full tutoring session and receipt of all requested score reports and scheduling information.

  • How am I matched with a tutor?

    We consider the examination, score gap, academic weaknesses, learning preferences, schedule, time zone, and any previous exam attempts. A high examination score alone does not make someone a good teacher, so matching should also consider communication style and relevant tutoring experience. We also pair based off availability as we aim to keep you with the same tutor throughout your study period.

  • Can I request a particular tutor?

    You may request a tutor or specify preferences, but we cannot guarantee a particular person’s availability. If your tutor requested is not available, we will recommend the tutor we believe is best aligned with your needs and schedule.

  • Can I change tutors?

    Yes. You may request a tutor change without a transfer fee. Your unused tutoring hours will move to the new tutor.

    When the request is made within 24 hours after the first paid session, you may also receive a replacement first session at no charge under the Quality Fit Guarantee.

  • What if I do not like my first session?

    Notify us within 24 hours after the first paid session and before attending a second session. You may choose a different tutor or request a full refund of your tutoring fees.

  • Are sessions held online?

    Yes. Sessions are conducted by secure online video meeting. Students may attend from the United States or internationally, subject to tutor scheduling and platform availability.

  • How long is each session?

    The standard session is 60 minutes. Longer sessions may be scheduled when both the student and tutor agree, and the corresponding amount of package time will be deducted.

  • How often should I meet with my tutor?

    Frequency depends on your starting score, exam date, and package. Many students meet three to five times per week during intensive preparation. Students with busier schedules may meet once or twice per week.

  • Do you provide support between sessions?

    All of our programs include text and email support for questions that can reasonably be answered within a few minutes. If anything needs longer explanation, then that must be done during your tutoring sessions.

    Content review, lengthy question analysis, major schedule revisions, and strategy discussions must occur during a scheduled session. Remember, message support is not 24-hour emergency access.

  • Do I need to purchase a specific QBank?

    Not necessarily. Our team will evaluate the resources you already own before recommending another purchase. We do not require students to buy resources simply to increase the apparent value of a package.

  • Is UWorld included?

    Ace Med Boards does not currently include or resell UWorld or any other question bank. All third-party accounts must remain in the student’s own name, and login credentials may not be shared.

  • What happens if I already own my QBank?

    Tell us during the Board Score Audit. Your tutor will build the program around the resources you already have.

  • What is the ACE Progress Increase Guarantee? Is it a money back guarantee?

    The ACE Progress Increase Guarantee is a guarantee that we have as part of our program, specifically in our 20 hour and 40 hour packages. Student must take a NBME or COMSAE self assessment before their first session and another one by the end prior to exam, as well as take the practice exams suggested during the study period. Our ACE Progress Increase Guarantee program offers a progress score increase guarantee of 10 or more points for NBME and 50 or more points for COMSAE. In the 20 hour package, student would get 7 more hours free of charge (one time). For the 40 hour package, student would get 10 more hours free of charge (one time).

  • Does the guarantee apply to every examination?

    The guarantee structure depends on the examination. For the USMLE Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 exams, the guarantee applies. For the COMLEX Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 exams, the guarantee also applies.

    The NBME shelf exams and COMAT shelf exams do not apply as their scoring is done differently.

  • What if I have leftover hours?

    You can rollover any unused hours for other USMLE or COMLEX board exams. If you are applying for residency, talk to us and we can apply the remaining hours towards a residency prep package.

  • Can I receive a refund after more than one session?

    For the Quality Fit Guarantee, after the first session, if you are unhappy, you can request another tutor or request a full refund. If you complete more than one tutoring session, no refunds will be issued. 

  • Can I transfer my package to another person?

    No. Tutoring packages, guarantees, and resource allowances are issued to the purchasing student and may not be sold, shared, or transferred to another person.

  • Do you offer payment plans?

    Yes. Selected packages may be divided into two, three, or four payments. Tutoring access, resource allowances, and guarantee eligibility remain subject to the payment-plan terms.

    A missed payment may pause future tutoring and message support until the account is current.

  • Is my information confidential?

    Ace Med Boards uses student information to provide tutoring, process payments, match tutors, track progress, and administer the program. Score reports and personal information are not used publicly without permission.

  • Do you work with international medical graduates? (IMGs)

    Yes. Tutor matching can consider IMG status, educational background, time zone, study timeline, previous attempts, and familiarity with the U.S. licensing process.

  • Do you work with foreign medical graduates? (FMGs)

    Yes. Tutor matching can consider FMG status, educational background, time zone, study timeline, previous attempts, and familiarity with the U.S. licensing process.

  • Can you help after a previous failed attempt?

    Yes. Repeat test-takers are often appropriate candidates for the Board Intensive program. The initial evaluation should examine previous score reports, preparation history, resource use, test anxiety, pacing, reasoning patterns, and any institutional requirements.

  • Is Ace Med Boards affiliated with USMLE, NBME, NBOME, UWorld, COMQUEST, or TrueLearn?

    No affiliation, endorsement, or partnership should be claimed unless it has been confirmed in a written agreement.

    USMLE, COMLEX-USA, UWorld, COMQUEST, TrueLearn, NBME, NBOME, and other referenced names are the property of their respective owners.
