Things People Ask
Quick answers.
It's the simplest contract in test prep. Spend 20 weeks with Sia on USMLE Step 1. If you miss your target, every cent comes back. Counsel-vetted terms. No fight, no questionnaire, no fine print.
Yes — though Step 1 is pass/fail since Jan 2022, the actual passing standard (196 on the old 3-digit scale) requires deep mastery. Sia ensures you pass comfortably the first time, freeing focus for Step 2 CK which is now the residency-screening number.
International by design. Multilingual UI, async throughout, content calibrated to the international student profile (which is most of our cohort).
First Aid is the content map; UWorld is the practice. Sia integrates both — First Aid for high-yield content review, UWorld for application drill. 8,000+ practice questions per cycle.
Three things UWorld + Pathoma + Sketchy doesn't include at any price: (1) a personalized topic-frequency × your-accuracy map, (2) real-time mock score prediction calibrated quarterly, (3) a refund tied to your official USMLE Step 1 outcome. We do, for $149.
Take USMLE Step 1 3-6 months after your last shelf — when knowledge is freshest and rotation fatigue is lowest. Sia plans backward from your test date.
