Picmonic for MS3 and Step 2

Are you ready for Step 2?! With our help, you will be.

You’ve made it through Step 1, but you’ve still got another huge board exam to take down. Our academic scholars, brilliant artists, and creative wizards have created over 150 new Picmonics to ensure that you’re fully covered through Step 2. That means we’ve got over 1,100 Step 2 relevant Picmonics now. Here’s what we’ve added over the last few months:
