GBSessions are high yield because they… Sessions are high yield because they teach you a way of thinking about problems that dissects all the wrong answers. If you ever thought that UWorld explanations aren’t enough, then this class is for you.

GBI had a great experience with my tutor I had a great experience with my tutor Dr Lauren Becker. Thanks to all the help I was able to pass my COMLEX Level 1, and do something that seemed impossible. \

GBHelped 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

GBStep 1 Prep I worked with Danielle and she was amazing. We analyzed my strengths and weaknesses and made a great schedule. She was always flexible and easy to contact. The tutor sessions were extremely productive and she taught really well while always be supportive when I struggled with concepts. By the end I was much more comfortable with questions and test taking strategies. During the process, I had some bumps in the road but we always reevaluated my progress and did what was best for me. The Elite Med Prep team was always ready to help and I appreciate that.

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.
