I passed, and so can YOU The course went over all the relevant cases for Step 2 CS. The guide book was well written, concise, and offered cases that FA didn't. The teachers were phenomenal; they answered all of our questions and provided excellent feedback on ways to improve the history, physical exam, and patient note. Of note, the administrative staff was accommodating and displayed good business practices. If you're looking for a prep course, this is a really good one. I only took the 4 day class and not the mini mock, but I've heard it's a good way to simulate the case load and develop a sense of timing.

I used this course to study for my second attempt and passed with no problems Dr. James is an amazing instructor and genuinely cares about the success of his students. The lectures are very long but they include lots of important detail and the way that they were organized made retaining the material much easier than studying independently. The class size is small and it is a safe space to ask questions in the company of your peers. I think the daily quizzes could have more appropriate questions and I think the slides of the course could be updated here and there, but overall, I am very happy with my experience.

Finally the student doctors have gotten… Finally the student doctors have gotten help following the programme that the USMLE Success Academy have enacted and it is easy to use. Remember, the corona virus pandemic led to the shut down of the training and learning institutions. But now we appreciate that the students are able to complete their courses from their homes.

My entire experience at USMLE Success… My entire experience at USMLE Success Academy was just excellent. The structure of being in small groups doing practice cases really helped enhance my ICE skills. The tips that I was given also really helped me out when I was taking the test. The tutors were great at pointing the important aspects of the test and it helped to have experts tell me what I can do to be better.

Why did I not know about this course… Why did I not know about this course prior to failing step 1? Now that I have completed the online course I can clearly see the mistakes I was making. I followed the study plan included with the course but I also added UWorld. This course should become a standard for all medical students, especially IMG’s, instead being forded to take a course that the school has selected for you. I have already recommended it to my classmates.
