"The spaced repetition flashcards were a game-changer. I kept mixing up lactogenesis stages, but the system kept surfacing those cards until they finally stuck. By exam week, pharmacology — my weakest domain — felt like second nature."
"I loved that I could see exactly where I stood in each domain. The dashboard showed me I was strong in Development & Nutrition but struggling with Pathology, so I knew where to focus. The 175-question practice exam felt just like the real thing."
"As a working mom studying for the IBCLC, I needed something structured but flexible. The module system let me do one lesson at a time during nap time, and the clinical scenarios helped me connect textbook knowledge to real-world practice."
Our content is organized around the 7 official IBCLC knowledge domains: Development & Nutrition, Physiology & Endocrinology, Pathology, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Psychology/Sociology/Anthropology, Techniques, and Clinical Skills. Each module maps directly to these domains, and our full practice exam mirrors the actual 175-question format so you know exactly what to expect on test day.
The free plan lets you browse all 6 learning modules, explore lesson content, and access the IBCLC content outline reference. It's designed to let you experience the platform and see if it's the right fit before upgrading. No credit card required to sign up.
Yes! You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time. Plan changes take effect immediately, and cancellations let you keep access through the end of your billing period. We handle everything through a secure billing portal — no emails or phone calls needed.
After viewing each flashcard, you rate your confidence as Hard, Medium, or Easy. Cards you mark "Hard" come back sooner and more often, while cards you know well are spaced further apart. This evidence-based technique focuses your study time on the material you actually need to review — so you study smarter, not just longer.
We recommend aiming for 75% or above consistently across all domains before sitting for the actual exam. Our module exams use a 75% pass threshold to unlock the next stage, which is a good benchmark for real-world readiness. The domain analytics on your dashboard will show you exactly where you're strong and where you need more work.
