HyGuru USMLE PrepReviews of hyguru.com

At the start of my dedicated study period, it quickly became clear that doing medical school over Zoom during COVID had left numerous gaps in my knowledge. In my first month of studying for Step 1, I failed my first 3 NBME practice exams. Over the next month, I improved above passing but my results remained inconsistent. If a UW block or practice exam asked me the right questions, I would do fine. But if asked the wrong questions, I was vulnerable to barely passing. Ultimately, I changed my Step 1 timeline so that I could better prepare for the exam - ironing out the inconsistencies and building my confidence. That's where Rahul came in. I had already been using a lot of his free online videos and webinars and knew that I liked his teaching style. Working with Rahul 1:1 provided me with the accountability and encouragement I needed to keep studying in the final stretch of my extended Step 1 journey. Rahul's integrated teaching style and focus on test-taking strategies helped me attain more consistent results and, in the weeks leading up to my exam date, I finally experienced the exponential score curve that everyone talks about! On test day, I was at peace with my preparation and confident that I would pass - IMO the 2 biggest keys to succeeding on the actual exam! I don't think I would have arrived at that point without Rahul's guidance. In the end, my Step score exceeded all my practice exams and landed squarely within the target range I had set as a goal before the harsh reality of failing multiple practice exams had me lowering my expectations! I can't thank Rahul enough for the critical role he played in helping me to achieve my goals! If you are struggling with the style of questions and content integration that the USMLE demands, I highly recommend Hyguru as a resource. Best of luck in your Step 1 journey!

Dr. Damania cares so much about his students and it is so evident in the time and energy he puts into his courses, and the encouragement he sends to his students throughout their studying. The way he integrates biochemistry and pharmacology along while weaving multiple systems together is unlike any other resource out there. I would recommend his courses, particularly his pharmacology course. I am so grateful I had someone like Dr. Damania cheering me on throughout the stressful journey of studying for STEP 1, he is someone you definitely want in your corner for this exam!

Rahul's course was excellent, extremely helpful, and a necessary component of my success on Step 1. Rahul expertly breaks down complex, high-yield topics in short videos for easy comprehension and review. His advice and guiding provided the mentorship I was lacking at my institution. His style of learning using active recall was also an interactive way to master NBME concepts, which was sometimes challenging yet always worth it. I highly recommend taking his course or contacting him for tutoring.

Dr. Damania is seriously the best. I wish I had started using his materials a lot earlier. His passion for not only teaching students, but the material itself is evident in every piece of content he puts out. The style of his reviews are unique and extremely helpful, as they help synthesize and connect disparate concepts. However, what really sets Rahul apart from every other USMLE Prep resource is his high energy. The love he has for the practice of medicine is so intense it's infectious, and you can't help but to get excited about just how cool the material is. It can be easy to get lost in all of the weeds, but Rahul is able to ignite a love of learning the material and fan it into a blazing flame of academic success. I cannot imagine how I would have taken on STEP without him.

Amazing!! Can’t say enough about Rahul and this course. He is genuinely concerned and helpful- very accessible, very knowledgeable, and wants to see you succeed. So hoping we had found him sooner. He actually makes learning the material fun, interesting, and relatable.

Rahul has a passion that ignites your excitement for learning even after you feel burnt out. His course and strategies really build you up and prepare you to tackle each question. Integration and application is the game and Rahul's courses ALL capture that mentality. He pushes you out of your comfort zone which can be scary at first but it has been one of the best ways to learn and practice.

Rahul/HyGuru has been a tremendous resource for me in my step 1 preparation. He brings passion and positive energy to every session, and keeps you engaged the whole time. I highly recommend his top NBME concepts and his 2 hour pharmacology session.

Rahul was really helpful! He not only reviews content really well, but he also takes time to go over question strategies and how to best tackle the USMLE. A lot about taking this exam comes down to question strategy, not just knowing the material. I learned a lot from him. He was always available to schedule sessions with and would always reply to my texts whenever I had a question.
