PASS ProgramReviews of pass-program.com

Pass Program POSITIVELY shifted my medical school career. I went to the program after failing Step 1 and did not know what to expect. I found medical school challenging and thought that there was something wrong with me. The first day of class I realized that there was nothing wrong with me but everything wrong with how I organized information. Dr. Francis taught me how to appropriately digest all the knowledge that we are expected to learn in medical school. The days are long and you will want to sleep in and not go to morning questions and leave early BUT DO NOT DO THIS. If you stick with the program...follow his advice success will come. If you have a deadline that you want to meet, be upfront with your tutors. It WILL involve you staying up later and waking up earlier but let them know this in advance so everyone is on the same page. It is not a magical formula. Being at the Pass Program still involves A LOT of hard work and dedication and you will find distractions BUT you have to stay committed, focused, and diligent in your studies.

PASS program made me fall in love with medicine all over again! when I arrived to PASS program last year for STEP 1, I had multiple attempts and worried that I would not succeed in my next one again. I went in with the idea of 'I just need to pass this test,' which was true...BUT I also learned that I had serious knowledge gaps and lack of basic understanding. Many students bash the program saying how lousy it is...I'm gonna tell you all: this is all what you put in! i you're lazy and expect to be spoon-fed and rely on memory to JUST PASS, pass program is not for you. If you know you need help and need to understand the material then PASS program IS for you. Allow me to clarify again: PASS program is what you put into it! lectures are good, you make the connections, the course material is one of the simplest and most basic books I've ever read. YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR HANDS ON SOMETHING ELSE THAT EXPLAINS THINGS THE WAY PASS PROGRAM DOES. I've heard of students going to the program expecting to take an exam right after the course and they come in with a sub par NBME score. It does not work that way, Dr. Francis is amazing at what he does, but he's not a magician that will magically conjure a PASS just because you came here. For me PASS provided a safety system, learning strategies, questions strategies, positive environment and a place for me to focus. I was taught to think for myself and to let the pt (or in our case the questions stems) tell us what they wanted. I had a rigorous schedule attending morning questions, lecture, drills and self study. I can say it was a boot camp, but I can attest to the fact that this program works if you follow the advice of Dr. F and the tutors. *tutors: all amazing people with different personalities. No student gets assigned a tutor if the tutor has not passed the exam that student is taking. Tutors are knowledgeable and each one has their strengths. It's unfair for students to demand a tutor that's perfect. No one is. I came back for step 2 and accomplished my goal once again...now I am prepping for Step 3 and PASS is my safe place.

PASS is a phenomenal experience !!! Would recommend to anyone who is sick of memorizing FA and wants to actually understand “WHY”!! Dr. Francis is innovative, funny, and interactive. No other instructor has ever shown me they care as much as he does. He show you patterns to thinking and analyzing data. Something I’ve used for both step 1 & 2 ... and now step 3 ! PASS is the truth !!!

This course really opened my eyes and has helped me tremendously.

I PASS WITH 25pt rise I would recommend this program to ANY and EVERYONE

I am so grateful that I was pointed in the right direction and heard about the Pass Program. The content of the course is very thorough. Dr Francis explains the basic and clinical sciences in a way you can understand and integrate. This is a lifesaver if you are not a recent medical graduate. I now feel very confident that I will do well on Step 1 because this course has provided me the necessary tools. The successful track record of PASS Program is no surprise to anyone who has taken this course and done the work. I am truly empowered, and I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about the USMLE exams.

Dr. Francis made concepts I never understood since basic chemistry understandable and relatable. Treat this course like a job and you’ll see the results.

Dr. Francis and his Pass Program Team helped me raise my USMLE Step 1 score by over 30 points in the 5 weeks that I was there. Stay committed, focus and be ready to work hard. In the end, it is worth it. This was a phenomenal program, and I can see myself using the information that I learned for the rest of my medical career.
