Great 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.

Helped gain confidence I think EMP helped me gain confidence and focus on how to study efficiently, which was crucial to my step success. I took off 1 star because I felt my tutor talked a lot (not necessarily about content), and I think it would've been more beneficial if he had listened more, or even talked in a more concise/abbreviated way about non-content material as I don't think this time was as conducive to my learning

After becoming derailed put me back on track Thank you so so much for all the help and motivation you gave me. I was struggling in ways I hadn't realized when I contacted you guys and you pulled me back on track. Thanks to you I was able to earn a competitive score. Furthermore, when I began to study for STEP2 I was able to take all the skills that I had learned from studying for STEP1 with Elite Medical Prep and I achieved a score in the top quartile of scores and I credit that score directly to the work I did when I studied for STEP1
