Took Micro from my weakest topic to my strongest Excellent. Took Micro from my weakest topic to my strongest. I then started using it for Pharm, Path, Shelves. This is the only thing that can really get me to retain memorization topics. Highly recommend. The only downside is it is much more expensive than any of the other resources. That said, I still pay.

Sketchy is underrated, fun, and engaging Sketchy is the sole reason I passed Step 1. My brain just can’t absorb things it doesn’t find engaging. While other sources might have helpful tables and take less time to run over things, they all just seem like the same lecture over and over to me. Sketchy makes me laugh and makes learning fun—I don’t think you’re ever so old that learning being fun isn’t important.

Inconvenient The service after buying is very inconvenient . There is a problem with the website for two days. I cannot log in to my account for two days. I have sent two e-mails for the customer support and got no reply.

Sketchy is truly a gift to medical students! Sketchy is truly a gift to medical students. The videos are very informative, but the sketches are just another level of genius. The sketches especially Sketchy Micro, Sketchy Pharm, and Sketchy Path are beautifully done. It contains all the relevant information medical students need to know. And the videos are condensed enough to capture all the high yield material. Along with the subscription, there are also quizzes that go with the sketches. These quizzes are also legit; high yield information testing what you actually retained from the videos. I have zero regrets purchasing Sketchy. It’s a creative, effective, and powerful way to learn ridiculously dense subjects like micro and pharm!

Sketchy is one of the best resources a… Sketchy is one of the best resources a medical student (or other student! see their products) can have! It is excellent in providing a big "picture" of topics that may otherwise be difficult to commit to memory or provide brain space for. If you are hesitant, please know that I had a 4.0 for the entirety of my second year in school and did well on Step 1 because of this website!! I even am able to answer questions on rounds/with my attendings because the memory devices stick so well.
