The USMLE Step 1 Test Series is TerraLeap's dedicated preparation platform for USMLE Step 1 — the foundational licensing examination of the United States Medical Licensing Examination pathway, required for ECFMG certification and a critical milestone for US residency applications by international medical graduates.
USMLE Step 1 is a single-day computer-based examination of 280 Single Best Answer MCQs delivered across 7 blocks of 40 questions each, with a total testing time of 8 hours (including breaks). Effective January 2022, Step 1 is reported as Pass/Fail. The exam tests basic science knowledge integrated with clinical application across organ systems — covering Pathology, Physiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Anatomy, and Behavioural Science in systems-based, clinically-anchored MCQs.
Powered by AURA AI, the platform provides personalised coaching, spaced repetition, and real-time analytics calibrated to the USMLE Step 1 systems-based blueprint and NBME examination standards.
?? Pass/Fail since 2022 — precision still matters. Although Step 1 is now Pass/Fail, the passing standard is rigorous and failing has significant residency implications. AURA analytics track your performance against the NBME passing threshold across every systems block.
USMLE Step 1 passed. ECFMG certified. Residency-ready.
USMLE Step 1 Test Series — 280 SBA MCQs, 7-block format, systems-based analytics, AURA AI coaching.
