The MyBigStep Study Planner

Your whole prep, planned around you.

Tell it your exam, your date, and the resources you already own. It builds an adaptive, blueprint-weighted plan for Step 1, Step 2 CK, or Step 3, then tells you exactly what to study each day, and why.

📅

Know what to study today, and why

Every task tells you why it is there: high-yield on the blueprint, a weak area from your last NBME, or spaced review before you forget it.

⚖️

Blueprint-weighted, one system at a time

Cardio and Neuro get the time the real exam gives them, not an even split. Confidence compounds system by system.

🔄

Adapts the moment life happens

Miss a day? One tap rebalances everything across your open days, and shows you exactly what moved. Nothing is silently lost.

📚

Works with the resources you own

UWorld, First Aid, AMBOSS, Sketchy, Pathoma, Boards & Beyond, Anki, woven into one sequenced plan that picks the right resource for each task.

🎯

Turns practice scores into action

Log an NBME or a UWorld block. It finds your weak systems and queues targeted work, so every score moves the plan forward.

✨

A coach, not just a calendar

Ask the AI advisor why today looks the way it does, or what to do if you are behind, and get a plan-aware answer in seconds.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the MyBigStep Study Planner?
It is an adaptive study-plan builder for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3. Tell it your exam, your date, your weekly hours, and the resources you own, and it builds a blueprint-weighted plan that tells you exactly what to study each day, and why. It adapts as you log scores and as life gets in the way.
Is the Study Planner free?
Yes. You can build your plan and start studying free, with no credit card. Pro is $19/month (cancel any time) and unlocks your full plan all the way to exam day, the AI advisor, adaptive rebalancing when you fall behind, and one-tap action plans from your assessment scores.
Which exams does the planner cover?
Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3. Pick your Step and exam date, and the plan uses that Step's systems and blueprint weighting.
Do I need to own specific resources to use it?
No. Add whatever you already have, such as UWorld, First Aid, AMBOSS, Sketchy, Pathoma, Boards & Beyond, Anki, or your own notes, and the plan builds around exactly those, picking the right resource for each task. Own more later? Regenerate and they slot in.
How is the planner different from the QBank?
The QBank is where you practice questions with full teaching explanations. The planner is the schedule that tells you what to do each day across all your resources, including your QBank time. Many students use the planner to organize their week and a QBank to do the reps.
How do I get access to a QBank?
Pick Step 1 or Step 2 CK, choose a plan, and you get full access to that QBank immediately after checkout, every question with its full teaching explanation.
Is the QBank a subscription?
The Step 1 QBank is a one-time purchase for a fixed access window (1, 3, 6, or 12 months, $29 to $119) with no auto-renewal. The Step 2 CK QBank is billed monthly at $29 and you can cancel any time.
Can I study on my phone?
Absolutely. The Study Planner, the QBanks, and MatchPlan are fully responsive, so you can plan your week, practice questions, and update your plan from any device.
Can I see the teaching before I buy?
Yes. Answer the sample question near the middle of this page. Every question in the bank is written and explained the same way, so you know exactly what you are getting.
