COMLEX Level 1 Tutoring

Your COMLEX Level 1 score plays a large factor in determining which medical specialties you can pursue and what residency program you match into.

COMLEX Level 1 Overview

What Content Does COMLEX Level 1 Cover?

Level 1 is typically taken after completing the second year of medical school. The exam is a problem and symptom-based assessment that requires knowledge in foundational biomedical sciences and medicine to solve clinical problems and provide osteopathic medical care to patients. Level 1 tests anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, osteopathic principles and practice, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, and public health.

How is COMLEX Level 1 Administered?

It is a one-day exam, 8 hours, administered in two 4-hour computer-based testing sessions. The 4-hour testing sessions are separated by a 40-minute break. The exam will have 400 multiple-choice test questions related to diverse clinical and patient presentations and defined competency domains for osteopathic medicine. There will also be some questions involving audio-visual components.

How Important is Level 1 of the COMLEX?

Level 1 is an extremely important exam, as it determines which medical specialties you can pursue and what residency program you match into.

How is COMLEX Level 1 Scored?

A passing score on Level 1 is 400, and the national average is approximately 500-540, with a standard deviation of about 85. Many residency programs use a "cutoff" score for Level 1, below which applicants are not likely to be considered. Applicants with a significantly higher Level 2 score may still receive further consideration. Competitive specialties such as radiology and dermatology require a score of at least 630+ to be realistically considered.

Real Student Reviews

I would highly recommend Medlearnity to anyone who wants help learning invaluable skills for taking medical examinations!

I used Medlearnity over the course of six months to help prepare me for Step 1. In the past I have struggled with standardized tests and knew I would need help to achieve the competitive score I desired. Dr. Goel and Dustin were both incredible mentors and teachers! Dustin explained difficult concepts clearly and thoroughly during every session. He was always available to answer questions in-between sessions and helped me identify weaknesses in my knowledge and test-taking abilities. During my dedicated study period, Dr. Goel called me often to check on my progress, and provided me with invaluable tips and tricks to reduce my test anxiety. I would highly recommend Medlearnity to anyone who wants help learning invaluable skills for taking medical examinations!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars. 28 March 2026

I had the privilege of working with Anthony R over the past three years while preparing for both the ABSITE and the General Surgery Oral Boards, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional tutor. Anthony’s depth of medical knowledge is truly remarkable—he has an ability to break down even the most complex surgical concepts into clear, understandable ideas. Beyond just content mastery, he taught me how to think critically, approach questions strategically, and develop strong test-taking skills that made a real difference in my performance. What sets Anthony apart is not just his expertise, but his teaching style. He is incredibly supportive, patient, and approachable. He creates an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and engaging deeply with the material. He was always accessible and responsive, consistently taking the time to answer my emails and clarify topics whenever I needed help. His feedback is another standout quality—always thoughtful, constructive, and delivered with empathy. He pushes you to improve without ever being harsh, which made the learning process both effective and encouraging. I highly recommend Anthony to anyone preparing for the ABSITE, oral boards, or looking to strengthen their surgical knowledge and clinical reasoning. Working with him has been an invaluable part of my training.

I worked with Anthony for both written and oral boards. He was knowledgeable, patient, and helped me prepare appropriately for both exams. He was always flexible with tutoring timings and never rushed me during sessions even if I had extra questions. Would highly recommend Medlearnity and working with Anthony!

This is a few years late and VERY overdue review but this program is excellent. I felt very at ease during review sessions. Anthony helped me look at the information from the question-writer's perspective. Helped me glean most important facts from the stems and this really allowed me to relax during the exam and I. passed my General Surgery written boards!
