How long is the study plan?
It is built around your exam date, so there is no fixed length. From scratch its 8 months at 4 hours a day, or 6 months if you can give 6hrs. The shortest it compresses to is around 4 months, and if your date is closer than that the plan builder tells you the earliest one that actually works instead of building something you cannot finish. If you have already covered some systems, it drops them and your plan is shorter.
I am far from my exam. Is it too early to start?
The earlier you start with a structured plan, the better your preparation compounds over time. Students who start 6–8 months out consistently reach higher scores than those who compress preparation into 2–3 months. It is never too early.
Can I cancel my plan?
Yes. Within 7 days of paying you get a full refund, no questions asked. Card and PayPal payments go back to the same card or PayPal account. There is nothing to cancel after that either: every plan is a one-time payment and nothing renews automatically. If you have any questions before enrolling, we're happy to help you decide if the program is the right fit.
Do you work with Step 1 and Step 2 CK students?
Yes. Both exams get the full platform: a study plan built to your exam date, flashcards, question and NBME tracking, a complete Rapid Review library, and optional mentorship. Each plan is for one exam, the one your account is set to when you pay. Dr. Dumirieh has first-hand experience with both exams, having passed Step 1 in 5 months and scored 260+ on Step 2 CK.
Is this only for Egyptian or Arab students?
No. The platform is open to students anywhere. You can pay in USD by card or PayPal from most countries, and students in Egypt can also pay in EGP by InstaPay or Vodafone Cash.
Can I join with a friend?
Absolutely! Many students join with a study partner. Our platform even includes study partner comparison, allowing you to compare progress, stay accountable, and motivate each other throughout your preparation.
How do I pay?
Two ways. From anywhere, pay in USD with any debit or credit card or PayPal on the checkout page. You don't need a PayPal account to pay by card, and your access switches on the moment the payment goes through. From Egypt, you can also pay in EGP by InstaPay or Vodafone Cash at reduced prices; instructions are on the payment page and access is switched on by hand, usually within a couple of hours. Mentorship plans are paid after your intake is reviewed and confirmed, not before.
How do I renew my access?
Use the Renew button on your Account page (on a computer it is also at the bottom of the side menu, next to your days left). The new months are added on top of the time you have left, so renewing early never loses a day. Nothing renews automatically, so you are never charged without choosing to.
Is there a free trial of the platform?
Yes. Every new account starts with 14 days of full platform access, no payment needed. Buy during your trial, or up to 3 days after it ends, and you get 25% off your first purchase. When the trial ends you keep the free tools (template schedule, pomodoro timer, 100 flashcards, leaderboard) and none of your data is deleted.
What happens if my exam date moves?
Your schedule is re-fit to the new date. The plan engine rebalances your remaining work, and on mentorship plans your mentor adjusts the strategy with you. Mentorship can also be paused if life gets in the way.
