USMLE Success Academy  Reviews 94

I’m so happy to leave this review! Thanks to the Academy I passed my CS exam! I seriously couldn’t do it without them. Their training was so spot on and all of their advice and tricks were the reason I passed. The instructors are so kind and they truly care about your success. Best CS prep ever!

Joining a course at Success academy was the best decision I made. I personally believe it wouldn’t have passed CS exam otherwise. Tutors at this academy work on you personally and make sure that you are prepared.

Amazing Step 2 CS course! Dr. Lu was great to work with, the cases were like the real exam, and they help me with my physical exams, patient notes, and differential diagnosis. I was very confident in the CS exam and I passed! Thank you so kindly for all that you do!

Thanks for your honest comments after my
two mock exams. I can say it helps me. But you guys told me you can't pass the exam and I felt so bad the night of my exam, also you told me to cancel it and you know it is so difficult to, especially it is the night of the exam, I couldn't sleep, felt sad, depressed and crying in the bed, on the second day I went to the exam and expecting the big failure after your unprofessional email. Now after my result for step 2cs, I want to let you know I passed so easy although I did so bad because of you and your email on the night of the exam.
Please guys be honest but don't ask someone to cancel his exam 12 hours before and tell him you will not pass, you know its hurt alot and it has bad sequences after. You should encourage me to do my best and focus in the comments rather than cancel my exam.

Sorry to say, will not let any of my friends to take your courses and mock.

Regards,

I took the Step 2 CS course 5 days before my exam. Excellent course, I passed my exam.
Would advise everyone to signup with you! You definitely made everything waaay easier for me!

I failed my step 1 exam twice. I took the USMLE Success Academy Step 1 online course and finally passed. The course is very thorough, easy to use and I highly recommending to anyone having difficulty passing Step 1 exam.

I took the CS preparation course with USMLE Success Academy and I was blown away. The Course is very well organized, full of very useful information and strategies. I received so many useful tips and tricks as well as guidance on patient note taking. Don’t waste your time and money on anything else just follow this course and their advice and you will definitely succeed just as I did. The instructions are very easy to follow , instructors are exceptional and the results speak for themselves. I absolutely recommend this course.

I was shocked when I received my CS exam score report – It was a CIS failure. I knew I  had to take a CS review course, and USMLE Success Academy gave me the tools and strategies I needed to pass on my second attempt. I attended the 5-day course, and I was incredibly impressed with the training and advice I received from my instructors.
They taught me the perfect techniques for introduction and closure with an SP, as well as strategies for dealing with crying, depressed, angry, and anxious SPs.
I needed help in staying focused and managing my time during physical exams in a timed setting. All of their training really helped bolster my confidence during my second CS exam. I am happy to report, that I passed my CS exam and would recommend this course to anyone struggling in their CS exam preparation.

Wonderful Step 1 Prep Course. The instructor in very knowledgable in Step 1 material. Thanks to this course I did very well on my Step 1 exam.

Great CS Course, I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for CS exam.

Great CS course. Highly qualified, knowledgeable, and patient instructors. Highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the CS exam.

Great prep course for Step 1 Prep. I took their Step 1 Online course and it took me roughly 5 weeks to complete it. I used U-World along side as it was recommended. Not being fluent in English this course was great for me as I was able to really understand the material and watch the lectures many times. I also have heard great things about their CS course and I will be attending it in December.

Being an IMG from the UK I didn’t know how to exactly prepare for the CS Exam and felt very lost In my preparation. I am glad I reached out to the USMLE Success Academy because right from the first phone conversation with their advisor I was at ease. I attended the 5 day course that included the mock exam. My patient notes were very poor and I was taking way too much time with the patients on the 1st day of class. With the training and strategies I received and their advice I improved a lot each day. At the end of the classes I did great on their mock exam and I passed my CS. If you are doubting yourself, or feel like you don’t know what you are doing or if you have the correct approach to preparing for the CS, definitely take the USMLE Success Academy’s CS course.

After graduating a Medical School in NY I didn’t think I would need a review course. After my first failure I reached out to the USMLE Success Academy and took their Live Step 1 Course. This program was exactly what I was missing. It helped me solidify my medical knowledge and test taking skills. I’m happy to say I passed Step 1 with a great score! Thanks Success Academy!

I did USMLE Academy Step 1 Live and Online combo and I’m so glad I did. I passed on my first attempt with a great score. I finished the online course in 4 weeks and then I took the live course right after. Having an actual doctor that practiced for years before teaching was a huge plus. The small class size was also a plus. I would definitely recommend this course and especially doing both online and then live courses.

Coming from a Caribbean school who’s program had OSCE exams every semester I would still hight recommend the USMLE Success Academia Step 2 CS course. I felt like I had good foundation from those OSCE exams, however I had forgotten some of the minutia that make up a perfect patient encounter, physical exam, and pt note. Furthermore, real world hospital experience (i.e. 3rd yr cores) and proficiency are very different, and in my opinion detrimental, if relied on to pass the CS. The Mini Mock exam is a great opportunity to simulate the stress and anxiety you will have on exam day, as well as practice your timing to the fullest, and how you’re going to handle yourself if a case, or pt more didn’t go well. Because come exam day there’s no time allotted to get hung up on what you should have, would have, could have done. You will find that the instructors are very personable, friendly, and helpful. PLEASE take the time to memorize some of the basic mnemonics, review a few physical exam skills. It will pay dividends to you and your small groups

Me and my sister Hanna took Success Academy’s Step 1 online and live classes from February to April and we are so excited that we passed the Step 1 !!! My score was 237 and my sister 232. We both went to school in Poland and it was difficult to pass the cbse exams without the help because we did not learn the basic sciences very good. We are so very grateful to the Success Academy and their teachers for the help and mentorship. We now will take their Step 2 cs class in September and we hope it is as great like your other classes for step 1!
Thank you so much!!!!

I took their Step 1 online & live class for 8 weeks which was the right amount of prep for me. My NBME scores and UWorld assessments were decent, but I needed more help. I got a 232 on my Step 1 and I’m very grateful to the Academy and all the teachers for their help. Highly recommend them.

I attended the 4 days workshop with the mini mock exam at the end, in February 2019. I started the course with no preparation of CS whatsoever. The workshop is designed well and the mentors are amazing, they helped me with my doubts during and even after the course till my exam whenever I had any. Attending the workshop first and then doing my complete prep helped me prepare with the correct foundation of communicational skills and bedside manners. I took the CS exam in Chicago a month after completing the course and passed on my first attempt. My only suggestion would be to prepare a little bit and practice a few cases beforehand so you can reap the maximum benefits of the workshop. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to do well in CS exam.
