Bad coordination of class time and email notifications The class coordinator is not doing consistent work. We missed the first hour of the live class (if it was live) without being appropriately notified ahead of time. No one from the team has offered any solution or apology. The only thing the coordinator was doing is "I don't. get your question."

I got smash usmle step 1 course for… I got smash usmle step 1 course for free and I must say some of the material is good but it is not as comprehensive as Kaplan or DIT. Also, it is way too expensive! I will pay $200 tops for it. In summary, I will not recommend it.

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.

I first saw Dr Adesina on Instagram… I first saw Dr Adesina on Instagram talking about Smashusmle, although wasn't ready to start my exam preparations, I went ahead and join the free webnar after which I was convinced that Smashusmle is the right program for me as an IMG... I am currently on the lifetime package, believe me, I have learnt tremendous stuff from Dr Adesina and my Coach... The motivational videos is where I go to draw strength each day... I will be ready to start full preparation this January and I am already fired up... If you are looking for IMG most friendly program to guide you through USMLE prep, welcome to the Smashusmle family... kudos Dr Adesina

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
