My name is Catherine Raciti. I graduated with honors from medical school in 2025. I scored above the 80th percentile on my USMLE exams.

They struggle because they don’t have a reliable framework for approaching NBME-style questions. That’s what I teach. Visit my website at boardsidemd.com to get...
My name is Catherine Raciti. I graduated with honors from medical school in 2025. I scored above the 80th percentile on my USMLE exams. More importantly, though, I built a repeatable system for breaking down complex clinical questions under pressure. Most students preparing for Step exams are not struggling because of knowledge gaps. They struggle because they don’t have a reliable framework for approaching NBME-style questions. That’s what I teach. Visit my website at boardsidemd.com to get more information on me as a tutor.
My tutoring is focused on:
1. Rapid question dissection and pattern recognition
2. Clinical reasoning under timed conditions
3. Converting content knowledge into correct answers
Sessions are highly interactive. You will explain your thinking out loud, we will identify exactly where your reasoning breaks down, and we will rebuild it into a structured approach you can apply to every question. Between sessions, you’ll follow a targeted plan designed to improve performance week over week, not just passively review material. If your goal is to improve your score, think faster, and walk into your exam with a clear system, this is exactly what we’ll work on together.
