How Students use UWORLD to Ace Board Exams
What Students Say
"275: Dream STEP Score"
Med Student
True Blue - St Georges University School of Medicine
Picmonic's visual approach has been a huge part of my learning. I just took the first UWORLD simulation exam and I scored a 275 (99% percentile) and it’s definitely because of Picmonic's online learning system. Picmonic is the study tool for the students who want to excel because they were the ones who knew that extra small detail that changed their score from a 239 to a 245 or a 249 to 255….because one extra correct question on the actual USMLE can mean a few extra points.
“Best Study Aid”
Chicago, Illinois - University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine
Picmonic is such an amazing resource for visual learners in medical school! Out of everything I use to study, Picmonic helps me lock it in long-term. I have KILLED my block exams so far because of all of you! It truly is a magnificent product. It really just helps me keep little details straight—something that is important to accomplish before Step preparation....there are people like me who love it and use it regularly.
“Wish I’d Used Picmonic Earlier”
3rd Year Med Student
Jackson, Mississippi - University of Mississippi School of Medicine
I wish I would have used this my M1 year. That was my hardest year. I didn't consider using Picmonic until I started to seriously study for STEP1. I originally got it only for biochemistry, but I ended up using it for every subject. I wish I had a time machine to tell my young self about this resource that makes studying enjoyable. Great videos, great variety, and new stuff available all the time!

Frequently Asked Questions
We hear that med students start using a Qbank as early as January of their second year (if they are taking STEP in June or July), and perhaps even earlier. Starting early also allows them to work with multiple Qbanks.
PA and Nursing students recommend getting started with a Qbank at least 3 months before taking the PANCE or NCLEX.
Yes! UWorld has a Qbank for RN students. Nursing students who are prepping for the NCLEX use Picmonic to master a concept or fact they are struggling to remember. For example, when answering a UWorld question incorrectly, students can use Picmonic as a refresher to understand why the answer is correct (and other answers are wrong). Using wacky characters and stories, Picmonic helps students remember more in less time and increases retention 331% making study and review more efficient. Picmonic also helps connect related topics which helps students correctly answer more of those "select all that apply" questions.
