PASS ProgramReviews of pass-program.com

If I could I would not even give this program a 1 one star. I have matched into a good residency program but I can tell you 100% that it was not because of the pass program. I came to the program with the expectation that I would be supported by individuals who have taken the step or atleast passed it but no. Most of the instructors are still taking step 1 or have failed it multiple times ( nothing wrong with that) themselves so you could pretty much just gather your classmates or study buddies and do this by yourself instead of paying for “seminars”. The lectures themselves are pointless. They try to teach you “patterns” and a “different way to approach the step” but it’s medicine you need to know the concepts and some things u just need to memorize. Kaplan and Falcon atleast teach you the facts! Pass program spends the first day just congratulating themselves for coming up with some non-sense technique. They give you opportunities to do questions with staff but there is nothing you can learn from that since the explanations are given by UWorld and you just read them over with him!! DO NOT TAke this course! Take any other course or study at home. I get these review program are out to make money but atleast programs like Kaplan etc have qualified instructors unlike this program. Spend ur hard earned money somewhere else. I’m grateful to god I matched and all the people/ resources who helped me get there but definitely not this program! Do your research or even visit the site before paying up I wish I had! All the best guys !

Not what they say they are. There was zero interaction after the initial (I paid for the online course). The lectures are mediocre at best and all I can say is stick to Kaplan or some more trustable courses. There is no magic pill for USMLE, just work hard and study all the topics. This was a waste of money.

Was not helpful at all.

Terrible program! Do not believe the hype. Dr Francis and crew are just there for your money. I spent a total of 6+ weeks there, lived and breathed the Pass method and it didn't work! Dr Francis is spread so thin that when he does finally squeeze you in to meet for 5 minutes, the only advice he has to offer is "you need to stay here longer." After hearing that 3+ times I finally realized that he didn't care. No one there took the time to offer any real solutions for me and my struggles with the exam. Back in the day when the classes were small and Dr F knew your name and hometown and when your test date was, have LONG since passed. Unless your one of his chosen few he won't remember you, how can he? there are hundreds of people there! I was lucky enough that I left early enough to work with someone that actually listened to me and help me work on my testing tissues. Passed with no problem after I finally threw that error ridden, no index page, mess of a book away! Again dont believe the hype! People pass because of the environment. An environment where people can sit and really study without the distractions of home for usually a Really long time. Of course your going to pass eventually doing that. But do NOT think you are going to get some magic answers from those people. They dont really care.

Pass Program is no longer what it used to be. Sorry

Waste of money

very bad experience .. low customer service .. non responsive for emails

I don't recommend this program because they give a lot of wrong information and their blue book has a lot of errors. I actually answered a lot of questions wrong because of wrong informations they gave us. I waisted a lot of money there and had to come back home and restudy by myself.
