One family of independent sites, organized by topic rather than by audience: an LCME accreditation hub, one unified medical school, guides to every licensing exam, a Media hub for professional development — and underneath it all, a working exam platform with 3,574 original, triple-checked practice questions and Elsie, an AI copilot on a single shared brain. Everything is grounded in public, national data and original work. Nothing here is affiliated with any official body.
This site is unofficial: it is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by the NBME, USMLE, LCME, NRMP, AAMC, or any medical school. The authoritative sources are always the official sites — usmle.org, nbme.org, lcme.org, nrmp.org, and aamc.org.
The family, in numbers
Every question passed the same gauntlet: written fresh for this family, checked by its author, then solved cold — twice — by independent reviewers who committed to an answer before ever seeing the key. A question ships only when both solvers agree with the key and neither can defend another option. Anything that fails waits in an expert-review queue; it is never quietly shipped and never padded into the count. As answers accumulate, each question earns a live record — difficulty, discrimination, which wrong answers pull hardest — and anything that misbehaves is flagged for human review, never auto-deleted.
The 75-second tour
The tour walks the actual family: this front door, the accreditation hub and Elsie, the school and its question banks, questions written to order, the faculty exam tools, the Media hub and the national data — and it ends with where the road goes next. No actors, no testimonials, no stock footage of somebody else's library.
Every site in the family, behind a single door.
12 standards, 83 elements, and a copilot that reasons from the text.
Step 1, Step 2 CK, and the MCAT — solved cold, twice, before shipping.
Ask for a topic; only triple-checked questions save.
Private exams behind access codes; item metrics that grow with every class.
Training mapped to LCME elements; estimator and match data cited by year and source.
The universe
No doors, no signposts by job title — pick the topic you need. Every site links back here, and Elsie answers on all of them from the same knowledge.
All 12 LCME standards and 83 elements, searchable; an accreditation toolkit of official documents; LCME 101 guides; a monthly updates tracker; and Elsie, an accreditation copilot that drafts, critiques, and reasons from the standards text — never declaring any school compliant.
Enter SI LCME → The schoolThe whole journey in one hub: applying and admissions, the MCAT, how grading works, the Step exams, the residency match, and the national AAMC, NBME, and NRMP data behind it all — every figure cited with year and source.
Enter SI MedSchool → The platformThe working platform: 3,574 triple-checked questions (Step 1, Step 2 CK, MCAT), timed practice, the Question Studio, an Exam Builder with real item analysis, and private faculty exams shared behind access codes. The 12-question demo and one full practice exam need no account.

Visit sistep2.pages.dev → ExamsThe family's exam-side directory: every exam from the MCAT through Step 3, when each is taken, and how they connect — so the big picture and the detail of each test are never more than a click apart.

Guide plus the 1,590-question MCAT bank — four AAMC sections, passage-based — live in the Exam Admin.
1,258 triple-checked questions across ten topics, with timed random-40 practice.
Shelf practice by rotation, drawn from the CK pool by clerkship discipline.
714 questions across eight clinical disciplines — the scored exam residency programs see.
The residency phase is live in the Exam Admin: a 599-question triple-checked Step 3 bank across six areas, timed per-area and random practice blocks, in-training-style (unofficial) practice, and 12 unfolding case-chain cases.
Whatever exists at one phase gets built at all of them. A prospective student who starts with the MCAT keeps the same account, the same Elsie, and the same record through the last in-training exam. Also on the way: the faculty Item-Writing Academy — placements, drills, and completion records — with a film for every discipline and organ system, and co-writing with Elsie whose verified questions can grow the bank (opt-in, credited).
Accounts are rolling out. Student, prospective student, and faculty sign-ups (faculty start pending approval) open shortly — until then, the 12-question demo and one full random-40 practice exam run with no account at all. Your progress stays on your device, and nothing is ever sold.
How it works
Medical education runs on documents: USMLE content outlines, AAMC admissions statistics, NBME performance profiles, LCME standards, NRMP match data. They are authoritative and, frankly, hard to read — scattered across PDFs, dense tables, and jargon. The SI MedEd family puts the working parts of those documents into plain language in one place, grounded in what the official sources actually say. Nothing here replaces an academic advisor, a licensing bulletin, or the official exam sites. And everything here is explicitly unofficial: these guides interpret public information; they don't speak for the bodies that publish it.
Every number cited carries a year and a source. No school-internal data, no leaked questions, no confidential anything — only what's published and citable.
These sites give you the information to think clearly about admissions, exams, and accreditation. They are not a substitute for your own advisor, dean, or the official guidance.
Official publications are summarized and paraphrased, never reproduced at length. The original document is always one click away, with links checked regularly.
