• Added personalized card frequency controls (Easy / Moderate / Hard) so review intensity adapts to your learning style. • Improved clinical reasoning flow to feel closer to real NBME and Step 2 decision-making. • Added global search to quickly find concepts, diagnoses, and review cards. • Reworked session pacing and transitions for a smoother study experience. • Added clearer intro screens before timed drills to reduce confusion and improve focus. • Fixed timer behavior so timing now correctly occurs on the question-facing side of cards. • Improved algorithm stability and spaced-review consistency. • Reduced friction across drill sessions and optimized overall responsiveness. • Multiple UI polish updates and bug fixes throughout the app. Built to help medical students think through questions, not just memorize answers.

Version 1.0.25 Step2Drill has been significantly upgraded to better reflect how Step 2 CK is tested in 2026 — with faster drills, stronger pattern-recognition training, and a more realistic clinical reasoning flow. What’s New: • New high-yield search engine Instantly search diagnoses, management steps, classic triggers, exam traps, and rapid-review concepts across the app. • Improved drill session flow Smoother, uninterrupted sessions designed to strengthen continuous clinical reasoning and decision-making under pressure. • Enhanced pattern-recognition training Concept sequencing now better reinforces diagnostic pivots, management changes, and high-yield NBME-style traps. • Expanded high-yield concept coverage Added and refined core concepts across multiple systems with stronger emphasis on commonly tested presentations and next-best-step thinking. • Faster, cleaner experience Improved app responsiveness, navigation speed, and overall UI polish for a more focused study experience. • Accuracy and content refinements Reviewed and updated explanations, management pearls, and rapid-recall concepts throughout the app. Thank you to everyone providing feedback and helping improve Step2Drill with every update.

Version 1.0.23 We’ve rebuilt Step2Drill to match how Step 2 CK is actually tested in 2026 — faster, sharper, and focused on real clinical decision-making under pressure. What’s new: • True-to-exam flow Full-length, uninterrupted drill sessions that mirror the new block structure. No artificial breaks. No fragmented thinking. Just continuous clinical reasoning the way the exam demands. • Advanced pattern recognition training Questions are now sequenced to force diagnostic shifts and management pivots — training you to recognize patterns, not just recall isolated facts. • Exam-accurate session design Every session is structured to replicate real testing fatigue, pacing pressure, and decision density — so nothing feels unfamiliar on test day. • Precision progress tracking Identify weak points and recurring mistakes with clarity across sessions. Patterns in your thinking become visible — and fixable. • Refined, distraction-free interface Cleaner layout, faster transitions, zero friction. Less noise, more focus, better decisions. --- Why this matters: Step 2 CK is no longer about memorization. It’s about executing under pressure — recognizing patterns, adapting quickly, and making the right decision repeatedly. This update doesn’t just prepare you for the exam. It conditions you to perform at the level the exam now expects.

We’ve updated Step2Drill to better reflect how USMLE Step 2 is actually testing now. What’s new: • Full-length, uninterrupted drill sessions Train your clinical reasoning the way it’s tested — continuously, not in fragments. • Improved pattern recognition training Questions now flow in a way that forces you to recognize shifts in diagnosis, not just recall facts. • Smarter session structure Designed to mirror the mental fatigue and decision-making pressure of real exam blocks. • Better progression experience You’ll start to see your weak areas and recurring mistakes more clearly across sessions. • Smoother, more focused interface Less friction, more thinking. Why this matters: Step 2 is less about memorization and more about recognizing patterns under pressure. This update pushes your training closer to that reality.

• Introduced Interactive Clinical Algorithms for high-yield decision pathways • Step-by-step diagnostic and management flows to reinforce clinical reasoning • Integrated active recall prompts within algorithms for deeper retention • Improved drill stability and content loading reliability • General performance improvements and bug fixes

• Fixed issue where drills were not loading properly for some users • Improved database initialization and content loading reliability • Enhanced drill session stability and performance • Minor UI improvements and bug fixes

Refined App Store experience to better reflect how Step2Drill trains clinical reasoning for Step 2 CK. Improved messaging around pattern recognition, clinical algorithms, and next-step decision making.
