6 years since step 1, and I still remember Sketchy I am a PGY2 and used Sketchy during medical school, and there is literally nothing I learned during medical school that remains in my memory better than that which i learned through sketchy. Tremendous study tool, arguably no other better way to encode information into the brain (for me, at least). Major props to the sketchy team.

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.

Most helpful tool for long term learning I have used Sketchy now for roughly half a year and the amount of subjects I have been able to grasp in a comparably short time are outstanding. What I found to be the key selling point for me is the long term effect it has provided me; I am able to easily remember courses and specific details from half a year ago, which I would otherwise not have been able to recall.

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.

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.
