Free, high-yield biostatistics curriculum with

NBME-style questions and video lectures

Hey! My name is Adam and I run the website step-prep.org. I have created a free, concise
biostatistics curriculum for the Step exams consisting of lectures, questions and answer explanation
walkthroughs. I would recommend navigating to the shared Google Doc below, which includes the
practice questions with links to the associated lectures and answer walkthroughs. I would use the
practice questions to help you determine which topics you need to review more closely, and then
use the associated lectures and answer explanation walkthrough videos to fill in any gaps. I
genuinely believe that if you can understand the concepts being tested in these practice questions
that you will be more than ready for the biostatistics questions on your Step 1, 2 or 3 exams. Thanks
and good luck!
