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

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

A GREAT pathway to usmle SUCCESS How do such DEDICATED and TALENTED tutor still exist? My name is Nancy, a Nigerian 4th year medical student in China. I was just about sleeping when my friend asked me to join the zoom meeting. Upon joining, I got stuck throughout the whole session, my confusions were cleared, questions answered and mind fully motivated. This is a very good community dedicated solely to helping as many (prospective) doctors as those willing to be helped and I’m so grateful to have been in attendance. I learned a lot! I do recommend this community to all who wants to pave their usmle way successfully!! Kudos to this great team! Todaywithnancy ❤️

Great supportive team Great supportive team. Dr. Adesina is constantly sharing and sending his motivational videos and keeping us on track. The tutors are excellent and very helpful. I can keep my studying going with the SMASHUSMLE app using their flash cards, doing practice questions on my breaks, or listening to videos/audio as I drive. 100% recommended!

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."
