GBThis course was worth it! This course was incredible! I loved how it was laid out and structured and really focused on the absolute highest yield material. That being said, I didn't feel like anything was glossed over or overlooked. I also thought the caliber of the instructors was truly superb (especially Dr. Rubin). The format was also great - lecture style but still engaging. I felt so comfortable participating and also learning from the material presented.

GBMy tutor My tutor, Anup, was great for me. He did an excellent job of really focusing on my weaknesses and also my preferred ways of learning. I really felt like he took the time to look at my previous results and geared my studies toward the information gained from those. He was very encouraging which was great for me but also was honest when he needed to be. He was also willing to try different things in our sessions together. We did cases, UWorld, quick review of important points in FA, etc. I worked with Anup for Step 1, 3rd year rotation exams, and Step 2 CK and CS. I wish I would have started working with EMP during my first two years of medical school. I would highly recommend the company.

GBGreat overall! I think they offer a great product overall. The tutor I had was extremely knowledgeable and I believe she helped me a lot. My issue wasn't self-motivation, although if that is your problem a specialized tutor like this could help. My issue was more seeing the larger picture and connecting the dots between presentation-> diagnosis and whatever it was they were asking be it histo, adverse events etc. Getting quizzed and asked to explain your reasoning is ALWAYS a good way to illustrate your understanding or lack of it. Additionally its useful to have someone to hold you accountable for your study schedule (as well as help you plan it). What holds me back from giving it a full 5/5 review is just the price. Don't get me wrong on two counts: 1) they are no more expensive than most 1:1 STEP tutors you'll find and 2) med school is really expensive so paying a few thousand extra for "the most important test of your life" does seem like a drop in the bucket... but still ~$200/hr can feel like a ripoff if the experience is not adding that value back into your studying/results. For me it was worth it, but I understand for others it may be an unnecessary expense, especially when what they offer you can find elsewhere in a dedicated study buddy and all the top touted resources.

GBI had Amy as my tutor and it was a… I had Amy as my tutor and it was a great experience. She was very helpful, she was able to explain concepts in a very simple manner that made it easier to recall. I would choose her over and over again.

GBI worked with Elite Medical Prep for USMLE Step 1 in 2020. I worked with Elite Medical Prep for the most important medical board exam of my life. They responded quickly and professionally. I was paired with a tutor who (actually) customized a program for me. She tracked my progress and keyed in my key weaknesses that I could firm up. In those eight weeks of studying, I knew I could count on her to give me honest feedback and guidance. She let me call her at any time. I improved 65 points from my baseline and no have the opportunity to apply into the specialty of my choosing. I cannot thank Elite Medical Prep enough for giving me the best shot for my future. Worth every penny!
