Six months of prep, side by side.
Same exam. Very different receipts.
Six-month plans at the prices shown on each company's site in October 2026: UWorld 180-day, Archer Q-Bank + CAT. PrepClex™ shows the founding price; the public price will be $199. Bootcamp is left out because it has no 6-month plan (its longest is 3 months for $129). Kaplan is left out because we could not confirm a 6-month price.

Three things we do differently.
It is built around you
Your weak areas, your exam date, your performance report, even your colors. PrepClex™ reshapes itself to the student in front of it.
The Triple Guarantee
A 7-day refund, access until you pass, and pass or your money back. Conditions apply. See the terms
Numbers you can trust
We show what goes into your readiness score and never dress it up as a chance of passing. If we cannot measure it, we do not claim it.
Get in early and compare for yourself.
Founding Beta: 50 free seats for 6 weeks. We read every application and reply within 2 days.
