HyGuru USMLE PrepReviews of hyguru.com

It takes a lot for me to spend money on medical school resources, but I'd spend 4x the amount HyGuru costs to have the knowledge I gained through learning from Rahul. I found HyGuru 8 months ago on YouTube while studying for my organ system courses. The first video I ever watched was his Respiratory Microbiology video. I spent the next couple of weeks watching his free videos on YouTube. I then bought his P/F course, his productivity course, and his USMLE textbook. Why? He cut my studying time down, provided me peace as I walked into Step 1 preparation, and has given me a level of confidence that I didn't know existed. I took his P/F course and productivity course throughout my organ systems and just recently opened my UWorld Question bank [6 months prior to my test date (5/15/2023)]. I'm currently scoring a 65% on the QBank (random, test mode) and have completed 16% of it (still 5 months out from the test date). I know that doesn't seem great, but that's actually on average with people who are in dedicated preparation. I know that I would not be scoring that without HyGuru. I've told every M1 student at my medical school to get HyGuru when they begin organ systems in January because it will jump-start their preparation with such a low time commitment. Rahul takes the burden off the student. Most tutors expect you to come up with a list of questions. Rahul does not. He expects you to show up ready to learn, and he takes care of the rest. And beyond just preparing me for Step 1, Rahul has inspired me to look into where I can use my skills to help others. His passion for medical students is shown through his commitment. Despite being the best teacher I've ever had, he is currently attending school to become specialized in med ed. How he has time for that... I don't know! Furthermore, he hosts monthly FREE webinars - full of high-yield content. And he responds to every student's emails and questions.

Quite possibly the best thing about Dr. Rahul, and by extension HyGuru, is that he is one of those people who can make you believe that this stuff is easy to do, easy to master, and fun to work with! Now hear me out, his knowledge of the material is extensive, but so are a lot of people's, the magic piece that HyGuru brings to the front is Dr. D's enjoyment of teaching the material and the ease with which he gets YOU to understand, be comfortable with, and really come to terms with understanding the science! You could, in theory, sit with UWorld and FA open for step 1 and get where you need to be all by yourself, sure, but I really feel that you would be doing yourself a disservice to do it that way! WORK SMART, NOT HARD! Rote memorization is great, but much more important that just memorizing facts and doing problems, is enjoying the process - THAT is where HyGuru really shines!!! I used HyGuru for step 1 (and am definitely planning to for step 2 and shelf exams as well) not because I didn't / don't have UFAPS for step 1/2 prep, but because HyGuru makes the material more memorable, enjoyable, and easier to master than it would ever be without his help! His program brought together all the high-yield points and made them easily digestible! After using HyGuru for step 1 prep, by the time I got to the USMLE, the questions seemed easy, familiar, and just straight-up fun! I passed the test in the first go, had more than enough time to do each block (haha, even had some extra break time left over going into the final block), and felt extremely comfortable the whole way through thanks in a meaningful way to HyGuru! Do other companies (BNB, Sketchy, etc) do something similar when it comes to presenting the material? Sure. But the magic bullet with Dr. D isn't JUST that he presents content, but that he makes the process super enjoyable and actually puts a warm, welcoming, easily approachable human face on mastering massive amounts of information! I would absolutely swear by HyGuru for step 1 prep and am delighted to have used him! Rahul's years of experience, friendliness, affordable prices, methods of sharing info, and yes, making you believe YOU can master the material too, in my experience are both unmatched by and sorely missing from his competitors! 100 bizzilion% recommend him, especially for anybody struggling to get through med school and step tests!

When I reached out to Rahul for private tutoring I didn't know I would be gaining more than just a tutor. He has been my mentor and one of the best supporters throughout medical school. Rahul has guided me through STEP 1, shelf exams, STEP 2 and set me up for success during my clinical experience. Not only has he made difficult topics easier to understand with his enthusiasm and memorable analogies, but he has taken me from a poor and nervous test taker to a confident test taker. His method of "stem, paraphrase, and predict" has helped me tackle any question with confidence simply because it gives you a consistent process of thinking each time and minimizes overthinking the question. This method is what helped me gain 40 points from my practice NBMEs to my final STEP 2 score. During dedicated studying he creates a personal study schedule, checks in consistently on your progress, and is just a text away for extra help. I don't know how I would have made it this far without Rahul guiding me every step of the way. To this day I continue recommending him to my friends!

This was an outstanding course made by an exceptional professional and human being. Rahul covered very important aspects of how to tackle the USMLE question and it's been a key part of my last month before my step 2 CK preparation. His mentoring so far with me its been full of quality and quantity. This is a course you would like to take to know the hidden facts, tips, and tricks on how to approach a USMLE question and how to study for this journey.

I luckily stumbled across HY Guru on YouTube around 4-5 months before my step 1 test while I was searching for random system-wise revision videos and since then, it became a huge part of my preparation and I ended up watching ALL the videos that were uploaded. Not only does Dr Rahul integrate and link all the information and high yield stuff incredibly well, but his mnemonics, teaching format, constant mentorship and encouragement and most importantly his energy and overall method of teaching really boosted my confidence and made me feel much better about my preparation for the exam. When I found out that I had passed step 1, Dr Rahul was one of the first people I contacted because I was so grateful for his efforts and was thus excited to tell him. Apart from the usual UFAP and BnB resources, I highly recommend this to everyone out there who is studying for step 1- trust me, you won't regret it! I will be starting my preparation for Step 2 soon and I'm genuinely looking forward to be taught by him again, that's how fun and easy he makes it! I'm so grateful for this resource and I hope more people get to know about it too. Keep it up Dr Rahul Damania, you're amazing!

Passed Step 1 because of HYGuru! Rahul truly changed the way that I think about medicine and I am permanently a better student for it. His extremely affordable P/F course paired with private tutoring taught me how to UNDERSTAND material rather than memorize it. He helped me with topic learning, study scheduling, organization, and was also a motivational coach. School was challenging for me because there was less emphasis on board examination and more on dense lectures. I had to adjust the way that I learned- less memorizing, more understanding. With HY guru, things made sense because HE CONNECTS EVERYTHING TOGETHER and targets high yield topics. For example, immunology is a tough topic and heavily tested on STEP 1 through derm, oncology, endocrinology, and more. When going over immuno, he takes the time to revisit and explain things like pemphigus vulgaris, small cell lung cancer causing lambert eaton syndrome, and graves disease (all related to antibody binding). In a similar way his P/F course goes over every system from first-aid and connects topics together. His approach is so unique, sticks in my mind, and so easy to learn. I cannot emphasize how much time and energy this saved for me. I am always recommending his P/F course to all of my friends MS1s, MS2s , and even 3s.

I have worked with Hyguru for STEP1, SHELF, and STEP2 all with amazing results. Rahul goes beyond just being a tutor as he will check in with you throughout the process. His resources are top-notch. In addition to increasing your knowledge base to fill in gaps, he has spent years breaking down NBME test-making strategy to help us understand how the exams are written. I highly recommend his help to anyone at any point in their medical career.

Huguru is the ease of use this software is good for me and another great features
