USMLE Resource Guide Compilation (2026 Edition)
# Universal Resources (All Steps)

These are the most universal ones that apply whether you are pre-clinical or an intern.

• Anki: Use the AnKing Deck. Spaced repetition tool. For Step 2 and 3, most people just unsuspend cards for their UWorld incorrects.
• Dirty Medicine (YouTube): High-yield Biochemistry/Ethics/Biostats mnemonics and exam-day mindset videos.
• Divine Intervention Podcast: Audio reviews integrating Step 1 basic science with Step 2/3 clinical management. Features high yield episodes on Risk Factors and Military medicine.
• Case Based Learning AI: Ethics cases are top notch. Other cases are a bit much just for step studying.
• USMLE Study Partner: Use this as a tool to find dedicated study partners
• Randy Neil (YouTube): Short videos for Biostatistics logic and problem-solving across all three exams.
• Predict My Step Score: Community standard score predictor. Plug in NBME and UWorld percentages to see your probability of passing.
• Boards & Beyond: Mostly used for Step 1 and 2 but has Step 3 as well. Good adjunct resource to UWORLD .

Step 1:

*

UWorld Step 1: The primary question bank. Standard use is 95%+ completion on Timed/Random.

•

Bootcamp:

Video-based content review with built-in questions. Often used as an alternative to Boards & Beyond.
•

Pathoma: Essential pathology concepts.

*

Sketchy (Micro/Pharm):

Visual mnemonics for microbiology and pharmacology.
•

Pixorize:

Visual mnemonics specifically favored for Biochemistry and Genetics.
•

Mehlman Medical (HY Arrows):

PDF focused on physiological up/down arrows. Often utilized in the concluding phases of prep to break score plateaus.
•

First Aid (Step 1):

Step 1 dictionary for fact-checking and annotating details from UWorld.
•

Physeo:

Video resource using mnemonics and flowcharts for physiology and neuroanatomy. High-yield for CVS, Respiratory, and Neurology.
•

Ninja Nerd (YouTube):

Detailed lectures used selectively for foundational concepts in Embryology, Renal, Pulm, and Cardio.

Step 2 CK: * UWorld Step 2: The gold standard

•

CMS Forms (Clinical Mastery Series):

OBGYN, Peds, and Surgery seem to be the most useful though some do them all. Good for reinforcing NBME logic/style vs. UWorld logic/style.
•

AMBOSS:

Specifically high-yield for Ethics and Quality Improvement (QI). These are the easy points people miss.
•

First Aid Clinical Algorithms:

Maps out management flows to show you the exact steps to take when a patient has a problem.
•

U. Washington Heart Sounds:

Audio practice for identifying murmurs and lung sounds.
•

Lecturio:

All-in-one review site with videos, notes, and a question bank similar to NBME style.
•

Sketchy (IM/Differential Dx):

Visual mnemonics and interactive cases for organizing diagnostic approaches. Most effective when paired with a comprehensive Anki deck.
•

Ajmonics (YouTube):

Quick mnemonic reviews best for Cardio, GI, Ethics, and Screening guidelines.

Step 3:

•

UWorld Step 3: The primary qbank for the MCQ portion.

•

UWorld Medical Library:

Integrated textbook within UWorld. Helpful for reviewing management algorithms for Day 2.
•

First Aid (Step 1):

Reference used for Day 1 preparation, specifically for Pharmacology Mechanisms of Action (MOA) and Microbiology.
•

CCScases.com: This site mimics the real interface on the NBME and tells you exactly where you messed up.

•

Mehlman Risk Factors:

High-yield PDF for Day 2 questions.
•

SmashTheBoards (STB):

A favorite for residents/retakers. It automates Anki creation for your incorrects to increase efficiency during intern shifts.
•

Emma Holliday:

High-yield clinical shelf review lectures accompanied by downloadable PDF slides.
•

Dr High Yield:

Condensed, high-yield overviews designed for initial subject orientation or last-minute review of key concepts.
