I really enjoyed Dr. Francis energy stories and patterns! It was very engaging and I felt comfortable with not knowing everything. He truly makes you feel empowered. This program fills so many gaps and prepares you for more than just the exam! My only critique would be the class is very lengthy and my attention span is not. I’m usually exhausted after class which makes self study harder.

I have gained so much with this program. It is honestly frustrating that this isnt how we are taught in Med school. My only issue is with the tutoring schedule. Because I joined through AUC, our tutoring sessions are lumped together with other students but the scheduled time and day was different each week. This makes planning and working around it very difficult.

My only critique is that the program is a bit disorganized outside of the lecture and course material. For example, I signed up for the program two days before the start. As a consequence, I had to wait an extra week before being assigned a tutor. My assigned tutor did not reach out to me and I attempted to get tutoring from other tutors. About two weeks before the course ended, I finally met with my assigned tutor and she framed the conversation in a way that made me feel as if I was to blame for the confusion. I was surprised, but politely explained that I did attempt to get in contact with her. When she asked why I didn't email her, I explained that their emails did not have names - only "tutor05@...". The rest of the session was otherwise productive. I just wish I could've had more sessions with her.

I am very happy with my experience at PASS overall. I took the 5-week course for Step 2 and COMLEX Level 2 online and it was definitely tough, but rewarding. I am giving a 4-star and not 5 because of the lack of communication between staff and students. I purchased some services and missed one session. When I attempted to reach my tutor, they never answered nor replied to my emails. When I reached out to office staff and requested a re-schedule, I was denied the chance because of specific rules that were never explained to me when I purchased the service. I asked to reschedule or to receive a refund and without any reply to my request or further attempt at working with me to get the services I wanted/needed, I received an email from PayPal saying I was getting a partial refund. (Noteworthy to say, one of the reasons I would be allowed to reschedule was the reason why I had the issue with getting to the session, yet I was not given the chance to reschedule when explaining this). My goal was to get the services I needed, not to get refunded, so further conversation with me on their part would have given them insight as to what I actually wanted/needed when I reached out to them. The whole process just seemed very dismissive to me. I share this not to bash the name of the program, but to provide constructive feedback. I really enjoyed this program, there just needs to be some standardization to the way information is relayed to the students. Regardless of that small incident, the rest of my time at PASS was worth it and Dr. Francis is always helpful and makes himself available to all the students. He really loves what he does. I also like that this program encourages camaraderie among the students, even those that are online, by promoting group study and encouragement within us. I will definitely recommend this program and would do it again. Thank you to everyone at PASS!

Lots of great information instrumental to success. The challenge I had is the program is designed for you to relax and sleep less than 8 hrs a day for 5 weeks which to me is not optimal for learning. I would love to see the same structure spread out over an additional week making it 6 weeks. The additional time to absorb, process and reinforce what was taught each day is imperative for my success and as currently structured there was not enough time for that. Learned a lot could have learned more. :-\

Dr Francis teaches you how to think. Lecture were very animated. The rest of the staff is great. Book could be a little more organized. Overall, great experience

The teaching method is excellent and inspiring.One thing I would like improved is the sound system of the onsite room because it's hard to hear the onsite students.

The class is very good overall. Concepts are taught clearly and are well understood. The only critique I have of the class is that some of the powerpoints for the recorded lectures are missing. I'd say that out of the 91 videos, maybe 4 don't even have powerpoints to go along with them (even though the videos show powerpoint slides) and maybe 2 of the videos that do have powerpoints are not updated and are missing slides. I reached out to the PASS program to email them about this and never received any response. Other than this, the class was very good.
