Value for Money prep course (Highly recommend) I have taken two courses at USMLE Success academy (Live USMLE step 1 course and Live USMLE step 2 CS course) and I did well in both those courses. I feel like USMLE success academy gave me an ideal platform to understand my weaknesses and strengths. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and approachable, I learned a lot working with Dr. James and Dr. Neville. I highly recommend this course. I used to struggle to pass my NBME's and it was due to a large knowledge gap (which I failed to recognize at numerous occasions) and ultimately it was fulfilled by taking this course.

I scored a 242 on my Step 1 all because… I scored a 242 on my Step 1 all because of this online course and in class course in Chicago which took me about 10 weeks to complete everything while also using Uworld and Goljian. The Success Academy materials and instructors are top notch and I am grateful for their help and happy that I chose them over other courses out there.

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 took the course a week before my… I took the course a week before my actual exam. We would cover 3-6 cases each in a batch of 3 students and would get individual review on what aspect to improve on. It helped me build confidence and manage my time for the exam. The SPs were actual MDs who helped us improve the patient note part as well. I learned proper way of patient examination in which I was weak like fundoscopy, neuro exam, etc. The mock test helped me overcome the anxiety for the actual test. Overall, the course worked 10/10 for me and I am GLAD I took it and cleared my CS in the first attempt. Thanks to Success Academy.

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.
