Stepora turns your exam date, your life and your resources into a day-by-day plan — then shows you one mission at a time. You only select. Stepora does the rest.
Stepora is a web app that installs straight onto your phone's home screen. No Play Store, no App Store, no waiting.
One coach for Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 3 — planning, questions, tests, health and costs in a single app.
Answer a few cards — exam, date, life, resources — and Stepora builds your whole plan. You only select; it decides the rest.
One mission at a time, each with a time chip and a live stopwatch in focused 50/10 blocks. Done, Partial or Missed — the plan adjusts itself.
A planned chain of NBMEs saved for the right weeks, plus an honest readiness rule — NOT YET, CALCULATED RISK or GO — so you never sit the real exam on a guess.
Pick your deck and tell Stepora how much you've covered. Reviews are scheduled inside your day, not piled on top of it — no more Anki avalanche.
Every missed question is sorted — Knowledge gap, Misread, Reasoning, Second-guess or Timing — and each bucket gives you the drill that fixes it.
Step 1 shows your PASS probability (Step 1 is pass/fail). Step 2 CK and Step 3 show a predicted score with a likely range, updated by every test you log.
Stepora watches your load and cuts it before you crash. Rest days are planned, sleep is protected, and missed days never turn into guilt.
Exam fees, UWorld, NBME forms — every real cost in one editable list with a running total, so the money side never ambushes you.
A food database with a live calorie bar, plus coach-mode exercise clips that count your reps out loud while you follow along.
A chat coach trained on high-scorer tactics — planning, plateaus, test anxiety, comebacks. Bring your own free AI key and talk any time.
Focus help while you study, with a same-Wi-Fi alarm if your phone pulls you away mid-block.
A 60-second in-app morning briefing and a calming evening wind-down. No push notifications — ever. Everything waits inside the app.

The comeback plan: what to change (method, not just hours) and when to retest.
A good Step 1 plan is built backwards from your exam date: question blocks every day, Anki reviews for retention, one NBME every 7–14 days during dedicated study, and a taper in the final two weeks. Stepora builds exactly this plan from a few cards and adjusts it daily around your life.
It depends on your phase. In dedicated study, most passing students sustain 8–10 focused hours a day. Alongside classes or a job, 3–5 quality hours with daily questions beat long distracted days. Stepora sizes each day to the hours you actually have.
Six weeks works if questions lead: roughly 80–120 questions a day with full review, a weekly NBME from week 1, weak subjects rotated in, and the last NBME at least a week before exam day. Stepora's plans follow this shape automatically and re-plan when life gets in the way.
Only if your practice scores already say so. Four weeks can be enough for a focused dedicated block when recent NBMEs are near the safe range; starting from scratch, it is usually too short. Stepora shows your readiness honestly — NOT YET, CALCULATED RISK or GO — before you commit to a date.
Questions first, reviewed properly. Treat every question block as the lesson: read the explanation, log why you missed, and let spaced repetition lock it in. Passive reading and video-only days are the most common reason scores stall.
The 7-year rule means all Step exams — Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 3 — must be completed within 7 years of passing the first one for ECFMG certification, and some state boards set their own limits. Stepora plans all three Steps, so your timeline stays inside the window.
