Frequently asked questions
Is Step 1 still pass/fail?
Yes — since January 2022. Step 2 CK is now the scored exam programs weight for residency.
How long should dedicated study be?
6-8 weeks is standard. Longer rarely helps; shorter is risky without a strong preclinical baseline.
Does Fennie replace First Aid and UWorld?
No — both remain the standard. Fennie sits alongside them, generating Daily Plans that integrate question performance into your daily content review.
