Course was far from satisfactory I recently signed up for Smash USMLE's Step 1 On-Demand course with high hopes of receiving top-notch lectures to help me prepare for the exam. However, my experience with the course left me feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied. The most glaring issue I encountered was the outdated nature of the lectures. Despite being advertised as an on-demand course, the material presented seemed like it was recorded ages ago with technology that is far from up-to-date. The video quality was poor, and the audio was often unclear, making it difficult to concentrate and absorb the information being delivered. In today's fast-paced world, it is essential to have high-quality and well-produced content that engages the learners effectively. Unfortunately, Smash USMLE fell short in this regard. The lack of interactive features was also disappointing. A successful on-demand course should incorporate interactive quizzes, practice questions, and a user-friendly interface that allows learners to gauge their progress effectively. Smash USMLE's course, however, seemed to rely solely on one-directional, monotonous lectures without any interactive elements to reinforce learning. Overall, my experience with Smash USMLE's Step 1 On-Demand course was far from satisfactory. The outdated lectures and limited interactivity left me feeling ill-prepared and unconfident for my Step 1 exam.

Bad and lying Absolutely not worth the price; spend your money on UWorld, Sketchy, Osmosis, AMBOSS, Boards and Beyond, Pathoma, Kaplan, whatever. I bought the 4 week Step 1 "live" masterclass. Lectures: I signed up for a live course in order to have an outside class to attend to keep me on track because I have issues with ADHD, so admittedly it served its purpose there, but I could have gotten the same experience from any Step 1 prep course. I have suspicions that these "live" classes are actually pre-recorded and the company uses poorly concealed tricks to make it seem live. There is a live chat where you can ask questions and they will be answered. But the answers aren't very nuanced. Additionally the chat is probably filled with bots pretending to be real students, they ask the most basic questions to mimic engagement and constantly praise the class with comments like "Dr Adesina where have you been I'm really enjoying this lecture". The chatbots are sometimes off sync and talking about completely different subjects than what the lecture you're watching is about. It's overall very skeevy. The lectures themselves are alright, though are often just reading off of First Aid. Question bank/quizzes: terrible. Questions are poorly organized and sometimes out of order, or will refer to a vignette/picture that... isn't included. They are probably pulled from outside qbanks/review books. Explanations are frequently lacking as well. It does not have any of the functionalities of other qbanks to mimic the real USMLE exams: no highlighting, no crossing out answer choices, no reference values, no flagging or searching for questions... You'd think the quiz would at least match the content of the associated video lecture but they don't... Personal tutor: probably the most helpful resource, but you should be able to get something similar from your medical school's academic help services

Awful and overpriced Awful and overpriced! You will regret this subscription believe me! You’re way off better paying 300$ for sketchy and 80$ for BB! The mastwr class is a pre recorded class with 0% quality! I gained nothing, and neither will you! Don’t waste your time and money on a journey that takes so much from it! You will never speak to Adesina, you’ll just pay him

Don't recommend Smashusmle. Unfortunately, I don't recommend Smashusmle. Doctor Adesina is really passionate about his work, but the quality of the videos needs to improve. As Qbank does not have a proper format, some explanations are unclear or insufficient. Daily questions provided through whatsapp are delivered daily with the correct repost at the end of the day. However, if there are questions for clarification after the final answer at the end of the day, the host does not respond in chat, helping the doctor better understand the vignette or answer. The tutor was the best resource, which I highly recommend. I used the program for 9 months, wishing I had bought another comprehensive Qbank like Uworld or used another resource to better individually access my needs.

I took the program and found the videos… I took the program and found the videos by Dr. Adesena very helpful in understanding the concepts. The question bank was helpful in accessing my strengths and weak areas. The resources are very helpful and i feel its worth every penny spent.
