SimConverse vs UWorld USMLE
An educator licensing SimConverse for a cohort gets scheduled reminders and completion tracking, and the vendor lists curriculum mapping and authoring workshops as services. Rubrics are written in natural language. No price list is public for the license, so the quote starts with a demo.
UWorld sells its Step 1 and Step 2 CK QBank as one-time purchases: $349 for 30 days, $459 for 90, $519 for 180, $579 for 360 (marked most popular) and $749 for 730. QBank Plus adds 500+ medical videos at $448 to $848, and self-assessments are $50 each. UWorld lists 3,600+ Step 1 practice questions, and UAsk, its AI study assistant built on QBank rationales, allows, on the Step 2 CK page, up to 100 prompts on the 30-day term and up to 250 on the 90-day term. A student on a Step 2 CK timeline picks the term by exam date.
