TrueLearn: Smarter Board Exam Prep for COMLEX and USMLE

First Line is partnered with TrueLearn. This collaboration means we’re bringing you access to one of the most comprehensive tools for medical exam preparation.


Why TrueLearn is the Best Choice for COMLEX and USMLE Prep


TrueLearn’s resources have proven invaluable for students preparing for exams. I used TrueLearn to excel on COMLEX Level 1, COMATs, Level 2, and Level 3. I also used TrueLearn's COMBANK to prepare for the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 with a few other resources. TrueLearn also has excellent USMLE and shelf exam prep if you are an allopathic student!
