Great navigator for the USMLE I'm a Non-US IMG. As I was searching for a review program to help simplify things in my preparation for the Step 1, fortunately I found SMASHUSMLE which helped me navigate through my entire review process even if I was working full-time. The lecture videos of Dr. Adesina were really helpful as I was solidifying my foundation. Then when I was assigned to a coach/tutor, it was really the game changer for me. I became organized and my path was crystal clear until my test date. From an NBME assessment exam of 110 to my final Step 1 score of 232. To those who are struggling in their preparation, I highly recommend SMASHUSMLE to nth level!

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

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 ❤️

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.

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
