I matched in IM, My first choice was neurology. But I am grateful I matched. I tried many different residency prep companies while trying to match in the past 3 cycles. Some were very famous companies. I would say quality of the service is not different in terms of editing , but the content was more personalized and I got realistic advice. I got feedback throughout the cycle, but sometimes the reply was not so smooth, because you have to communicate through their main email . It would be nice if I know who in charge of my case. Interview prep with Mohit was very very helpful. I was worried i might not get enough practice time with 1or 2 sessions. Its focused on interview questions and answers, they dont teach you how to speak but what to say. I would say if ur an IMG and need interview practice then you should ask in advance whether they can help with interview skills. I personally didnt need that kind of help and was very satisfied with their help.

This was a fantastic service that was extremely helpful and I landed my number 1 residency with their help. They are very thorough and help with every step of the way. I highly recommend this service.

Preparing for STEP 1, it was hard to make my own schedule. Then I heard about Ace Med Boards tutoring from my sister. So I decided to give it a try. I received my very first schedule which was rigorous, structured and detailed. Following the schedule, I sat down for long hours each day. This made sitting down for 8 hours during STEP 1 a breeze. I was barely tired because I was already trained to sit for longer hours. My Tutor was Kelvin. He was flexible with meetings. One thing I liked about him was that, he was patient. He doesn't make you feel bad for not answering a question correctly. Rather he guides you through the process of how to answer the questions.

Kelvin was an awesome tutor to work with for my Step 1 exam prep! He provided a lot of moral support both in and out of our tutoring sessions and he helped me get into a very solid rhythm with practice questions. By exam day, I felt like I was on autopilot, which took away a lot of the doubt/worry that I usually get when taking tests. I also liked the overall tutoring model that AMB uses and the resources they suggest (UFAPS style). The schedules they create for students are very efficient and thorough. I will say, however, that I experienced laggy communication with the advisors as I got closer to my exam date, which was stressful. They also didn't schedule any rest days throughout my dedicated period (partly because I had a short time frame), so I used my discretion in taking time off as needed and I didn't always stick to their schedule down to the minute. Overall, it is a rigorous program, but I would recommend working with AMB and especially with Kelvin!

I used Ace Med Boards for the Step 2 CK exam and I had a wonderful experience! I had been looking for a reliable tutoring service after having attempted Step 2 and not passing, and I decided to try Ace Med boards after some searching online and having a consultation phone call with them. My tutor, Kelvin helped me to become more confident in my approach to the exam questions, and helped to make the process of studying easier and more manageable. He was always encouraging and was very helpful, often giving tips and shedding light on exam strategies and even helping to answer any general questions I had about other parts of the process like the match and residency. Along the way, I was also given helpful feedback on how to improve my weaker areas as well as receiving a personalized study schedule tailored to my needs. I really saw the difference in my Uworld and assessment scores within about just two weeks of starting the tutoring. Additionally, they helped me get into a better headspace when it finally came time to sitting the exam. It was definitely a great experience, and Ace Med Boards is a team of kind, hardworking and caring individuals who want to help you succeed. All in all, a great investment! Thank you Kelvin and the Ace Med Boards team!

I had been studying for step 1 for four weeks, drilling down content as best as I could (my foundation was weak) and still could not pass my practice exams so I reached out ace med boards. After 5 sessions, I passed my practice test! They do a really good job of helping you tackle the questions/apply once you get the content down. I had Gleb and I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW GREAT HE WAS! He was so encouraging and his explanations were very helpful.

The tutors would constantly reschedule or not be available. I had to switch tutors multiple times. Also, if a session goes a few minutes over, they charge you for that (like deduct the minutes out).

Paid close to $4000 for a tutoring package. Met with tutor regularly and did what they recommended. I still was not in passing range. Big waste of money would not recommend. I signed up after a reddit post that made it sound like they work miracles. They might be accommodating with tutor hours but that means nothing if that doesn't translate well. Overall, I felt the company didn't really care nor attempted to ensure progress was being made.
