Live board prep every week, with a physician in the room.

Premeducated Office Hours is live COMLEX and USMLE group tutoring in two rooms, one for COMLEX-USA Level 1 and USMLE Step 1, and one for COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE and USMLE Step 2 CK. Five sessions a week, every one recorded, and a tutor you can message in between.

Already a 1:1 tutoring student? Office hours come with your package.

Live practice-question discussions, session recordings and tutor messaging in the private Premeducated Skool community.

Two rooms, one for each exam.

Find your track. The hours listed below are per room, not per student. Premium includes both rooms, so a COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE or USMLE Step 2 CK student who wants a foundations review can sit in on the Level 1 sessions.

Track one

COMLEX-USA Level 1 and USMLE Step 1

The Level 1 room runs 4.5 hours a week, in three 90-minute sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Monday12:30 to 2:00 PM ET
Wednesday12:30 to 2:00 PM ET
Friday12:30 to 2:00 PM ET

Friday is always Open Q&A. Bring whatever you got wrong that week.

Track two

COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE and USMLE Step 2 CK

The Level 2 room runs 2 hours a week, in two 60-minute sessions on Tuesday and Thursday.

Tuesday4:00 to 5:00 PM ET
Thursday9:00 to 10:00 PM ET

Timed for people on rotations. The Thursday session sits late on purpose.

Level 1 runs during the school day, and we know it. Every session is recorded, so class at 12:30 does not cost you the session.

What the $197 Premium membership includes

Both live rooms

4.5 hours a week of Level 1 and Step 1 practice-question discussions, plus 2 hours a week of Level 2-CE and Step 2 CK discussions.

Session recordings

Every session is recorded and posted, so you can catch a session that conflicts with class, clinic or call.

Direct message access

DM Dr. Lucas and staff anytime. The typical response time is under 24 hours.

Priority asynchronous support

Premium members get priority support between live sessions when a question can't wait.

Every organ system, on a loop.

Nothing is a one-time event, so joining in week three does not mean you missed cardiology. Each track runs its own rotation and starts over when it finishes.

The two rotations are different lengths, so the two rooms aren't on the same organ system in the same week. Level 1 runs 9 sessions and comes back around in about 3 weeks. Level 2 runs 8 sessions and comes back around in about 4 weeks. Pick the room for the exam you're sitting next.

Level 1 rotation

9 sessions, then it repeats. About 3 weeks.

  1. Cardiology & Pulmonology
  2. GI, Renal & GU
  3. Open Q&A
  4. Neurology & Psychiatry
  5. MSK, Rheumatology & Dermatology
  6. Open Q&A
  7. Endocrine & Reproductive
  8. Hematology & Oncology
  9. Open Q&A

Level 2 rotation

8 sessions, then it repeats. About 4 weeks.

  1. Cardiology & Pulmonology
  2. Open Q&A
  3. Neurology & Psychiatry
  4. GI, Renal & GU
  5. Endocrine & Reproductive
  6. Open Q&A
  7. MSK, Rheumatology & Dermatology
  8. Hematology & Oncology

What an hour of this actually costs.

Office hours cost $197 a month. The Level 1 room runs 4.5 hours a week and the Level 2 room runs 2 hours a week, so the price per hour of live instruction works out like this.

About $10 an hour

Level 1 track, 4.5 hours a week, about 19.5 hours a month.

About $23 an hour

Level 2 track, 2 hours a week, about 8.7 hours a month.

Those figures are per room, not per student. One-on-one tutoring is priced by the hour and buys undivided attention on your own material, which this does not replace.

Choose the Premeducated plan that fits.

Office hours run on the Skool Premium plan. Two ways to pay for the same thing.

Monthly

$197 / month

Billed every month. About $10 an hour on the Level 1 track.

A year up front

$1,997 / year

$367 less than twelve months at $197, and about $8.50 an hour on the Level 1 track.

A year suits longitudinal prep. Second year working toward COMLEX-USA Level 1, or third year on rotations with Level 2-CE ahead: the rooms run all year, roughly 17 passes through the Level 1 rotation and 13 through Level 2. Two of the eight Level 2 sessions are Open Q&A, so bring what your rotation threw at you that week.

Join office hours

Checkout and the community both run in Skool. If you are already a 1:1 tutoring student, office hours are part of your package and you do not need this. Call or text 443-993-4975 if you are not sure which applies to you.

The next session is on the calendar whether you are in it or not.

Questions about the sessions and the schedule

What are Premeducated office hours?

Premeducated Office Hours is live COMLEX and USMLE group tutoring sold through the $197 monthly Skool Premium plan. There are two rooms. The Level 1 room serves COMLEX-USA Level 1 and USMLE Step 1 and runs 4.5 hours a week in three 90-minute sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Level 2 room serves COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE and USMLE Step 2 CK and runs 2 hours a week in two 60-minute sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. Premium includes both rooms. Those hours are per room, not per student.

What time are the sessions?

Level 1 meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:30 to 2:00 PM Eastern. Level 2 meets Tuesday from 4:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern and Thursday from 9:00 to 10:00 PM Eastern.

What happens in a 90-minute session?

A session works through practice questions out loud. Students work the vignette first, then the reasoning gets taken apart, including why the wrong answer looked right. Friday on the Level 1 track is driven by questions students bring.

Do the Level 1 and Level 2 rooms cover the same topic in the same week?

No. The two rotations are different lengths. Level 1 runs 9 sessions and repeats in about 3 weeks. Level 2 runs 8 sessions and repeats in about 4 weeks. The two rooms drift apart at block boundaries and only line up by accident. Pick the room for the exam you're sitting next.

I have class at 12:30. Is this useless to me?

No. Every session is recorded and posted, so the Level 1 room works asynchronously if it has to. Bring follow-up questions to Friday's Open Q&A or message a tutor directly.

Can I do this while I am on rotations?

Yes. Tuesday runs from 4:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern and Thursday runs from 9:00 to 10:00 PM Eastern, which is late on purpose. Every session is recorded if you're post-call or scrubbed in.

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes. Every session in both rooms is recorded and posted.

If I join in week three, did I miss cardiology?

No. Both tracks run a loop that starts over when it finishes, so cardiology comes back around.

Which room should I be in?

Choose the room for the exam you're sitting next. Level 1 runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 PM Eastern. Level 2 runs Tuesday at 4:00 PM and Thursday at 9:00 PM Eastern. Premium includes both rooms, so you aren't locked to one.

I am an MD student sitting Step 1. Is this a DO only room?

No. The Level 1 room is open to students preparing for COMLEX-USA Level 1 or USMLE Step 1, and the Level 2 room is open to students preparing for COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE or USMLE Step 2 CK.

Do you cover OMM?

Friday Open Q&A on the Level 1 track takes whatever questions you bring, including OMM. The published rotation is organized by organ system rather than by a standalone OMM block.

Can a group room address my specific weak areas?

Friday on the Level 1 track is Open Q&A and takes the questions you personally got wrong. Direct message access between sessions covers the rest of the week, with a typical response time under 24 hours.

Is a paid COMLEX study group better than a free one with my classmates?

It answers a different need. A classmate group can provide accountability. Premium adds scheduled practice-question discussions, direct message access to Dr. Lucas and staff, and priority asynchronous support between sessions.

Is this useful if I am retaking COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE?

It can provide a repeating structure with two live Level 2 sessions each week, recordings and between-session support. It isn't one-on-one time, and some retakers need private tutoring instead or as well. Call or text 443-993-4975 and we'll help you compare the options.

Questions about membership and billing

How much do office hours cost?

Office hours cost $197 per month through the Skool Premium plan. On the Level 1 track that is about $10 an hour of live instruction, and on the Level 2 track about $23 an hour, per room rather than per student. Premium includes both rooms, direct message access to Dr. Lucas and staff, and priority asynchronous support between sessions. The checkout also lists Premium at $1,997 per year, which is $367 less than twelve months at $197 and works out to about $8.50 an hour on the Level 1 track, plus VIP at $999 per month and VIP at $8,999 per year. For billing questions, call or text 443-993-4975.

Should I pay for the year up front?

The annual Premium plan is $1,997, which is $367 less than twelve months at $197 and works out to about $8.50 an hour on the Level 1 track. A year covers roughly 17 passes through the Level 1 rotation and 13 through the Level 2 rotation, so it fits a second year working toward COMLEX-USA Level 1 and a third year on rotations with COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE ahead. Premium includes both rooms either way.

How does this compare to one-on-one COMLEX tutoring?

Office hours cost $197 a month and provide live group practice-question discussions. One-on-one tutoring is private time scheduled with a tutor and priced separately. The group room doesn't replace undivided attention on your own material.

Do I have to buy one-on-one tutoring to join?

No. Office hours are sold on their own through the $197 monthly Premium plan. Nothing in the Premium membership requires a one-on-one purchase.

Are office hours included if I already bought a tutoring package?

Yes. Office hours come with a Premeducated tutoring package, so if you already have one you don't need to buy this separately. Call or text 443-993-4975 if you aren't sure which option applies to you.

Who can I message between sessions?

Premium includes direct message access to Dr. Lucas and staff. The typical response time is under 24 hours.

Where do the sessions happen and how do I get in?

The sessions, recordings and messaging run in the private Premeducated Skool community. Checkout runs through Skool as well.

Do I get support between sessions?

Yes. Premium includes direct message access to Dr. Lucas and staff, plus priority asynchronous support between sessions. The typical response time is under 24 hours.

Will Dr. Lucas review my score report and personal plan?

Personal score report and plan review by Dr. Lucas is a VIP benefit, not a $197 Premium benefit. Check the VIP options on the Skool plans page if you need that review.

Do I need a question bank as well?

Yes. A question bank isn't listed as part of Premium. The live rooms focus on practice-question discussions, so bring the questions and concepts you need to work through.

My exam is in six weeks. What does the schedule provide in that window?

Six weeks on the Level 1 track contains about 27 hours across 18 scheduled sessions, which is two complete passes through the 9-session rotation. Six weeks on the Level 2 track contains about 12 hours. Those figures are per room, not per student.

Is this the same thing as your one-on-one tutoring?

No. Office hours are live group sessions available through the $197 monthly Premium plan. One-on-one COMLEX tutoring is scheduled private time with a tutor and priced separately, and it includes office hours. You can also explore the Study Plan Builder. If you're thinking about the Match instead of board exams, see residency advising.

Get in the room.

Live practice-question discussions every week, session recordings and support between sessions when you're stuck.
