A New Chapter for 12Days
For years, 12Days has focused on what to know and how to know it. Yet, many students struggle not because of effort, but because preparation itself is misaligned.
On April 2, 2026, I launched a new platform to address exactly that. A system built around how to prepare: how to structure knowledge, make decisions, and learn from mistakes in a way that translates into Step success.
Not more content. A different approach.
Introducing RISEuP: Reflections on Improving Study Techniques and Exam Performance
The RISEuP Method: A Field Guide to Step Success
The RISEuP Method was developed to help medical students prepare more effectively for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1. Originally conceived to help struggling students improve their time to competency, the approach has evolved into a comprehensive learning strategy for any student seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Step 1 preparation. Its central focus is not simply acquiring medical knowledge, but learning to organize, retrieve, and apply that knowledge within the constraints of the NBME-style multiple-choice questions that define the USMLE Step 1 examination.

Imagine a resource that combines the most relevant information from:
- Organ System Lectures
- Best Selling Review Manuals
- Top Ranked Q-banks
- The NBME
Now picture a product that was designed with specific feedback and guidance from hundreds of medical students who consistently score in the top 95th percentile pass rate on the USMLE Step One Exam.
Consider also that the author has tutored dozens of medical students witnessing firsthand the inadequacy of current resources and preparatory methods.
It is with this background in mind that 12DaysinMarch was developed.
