UWorld USMLE review: the standard question bank
UWorld is the question bank most US medical students use for the USMLE: 3,600+ Step 1 and 3,200+ Step 2 CK questions with detailed explanations, sold as 30- to 730-day subscriptions. Its Step 2 CK plans were reported at $459 (90 days), $519 (180 days) and $579 (360 days) in September 2026.
Plan contents from UWorld’s own pages; prices as reported by a review site that checked UWorld’s Step 2 CK page on September 6, 2026. Checked October 11, 2026. We have not tested it hands-on, so this review has no score.
