Best review course out there

If you feel loss, unsecure, unorganized and hopeless, pass program is the right way decision to make. Just follow Dr. Francis advises and rules in each subjects and questions then you see the physio. God bless Pass program. Highly recommended.

I have been afraid of standardized exams for as long as I can remember, and I tried everything before coming to the PASS Program: kaplan, boards & beyond, statmed, comquest, combank, u-world, you name it I tried it. My medical school sent me to PASS program after I failed my first board exam, and I had serious test-taking anxiety and confidence issues, knowing this could be my last chance. I signed up for the 8 week pass guarantee program and stayed 1 more month to work on my test taking. I highly recommend attending every morning question session, tutoring 2x a week, as well as drilling with a partner daily. If you put in the work here, you will definitely get the results! I plan to return for a refresher before my next round of board exams, and I will apply the physiology patterns and test taking tips he taught in class for all future exams. Dr. Francis truly changed my life, the way I view standardized exams, and the way I will practice and approach medicine! I will be forever grateful to him and his staff, and I aim to pay forward all I learned to those around me that are struggling. My only regret is that I did not come sooner.

I've always struggled with test-taking and was uncertain how to prepare for the USMLE Step 1 exam after a previous attempt. I researched countless programs, and I somehow found Pass program which saved my medical career. I still remember Dr Francis calling me on the phone and urging me to not give up on my dream to become a doctor. I can't thank him enough for pushing me to not only pass my exams but score high! I successfully passed my USMLE Step 1 & 2 CK/CS exams and recently passed Usmle Step 3 exam!!!! This program is unique in so many ways. Dr Francis will learn everyone's name and call on you in class constantly...I don't think you can find this personal attention at any other commercial board review course. I always enjoyed attending his "morning question" sessions and daily class lectures. The one-on-one tutor sessions are also beneficial after class to reinforce concepts and test taking strategies. Dr Francis has a love and passion for medicine which will remind you why chose it as a career path. His wealth of knowledge from practicing as a physician and teaching in the classroom is exactly what every medical student needs! I highly recommend this program for USMLE study preparation and beyond! Update 10/3/19: Passed USMLE Step 3 exam!!! Thank you Dr Francis for helping me complete the journey!

I was an online on-demand student and I would not have recommended this to my friends. Dr Francis put together concept very well, and helped to tie many topics together. However, this was not enough to do well on STEP 1. There were not sufficient details and many big topics missing. I also realized the classes are the same for Step 2 (except they are given some extra lectures). The workbook they send you has many errors and it looks like it was never proofread or formatted. I paid an extra $100/hr for private tutoring which was not worth the price- although it is tutor dependent. I also paid $50 for an “NBME consultation”. I still don’t know what that was for, I was given a sample schedule that was from another student who had weeks more time than I had, and the consultant just repeated to me the subjects I needed to work on (I sent her my score report with the subjects and the bar graph). I never heard from the program again. It was helpful to tie big concepts together and I did feel that I learned new ways to think through problems, but it was not worth the money. I wish I had chosen another prep program.

Dr. Francis is amazing! He shows you the way to approach questions and get them right 9/10, how to look for details, learn basics first (like biochemistry and physiology). Repetition was the key, great dynamic good schedules and nice program. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling/lost or bored studying alone.

The PASS Program is completely worth it. Not only did I do well on both COMLEX Level 2 and USMLE Step 2, but I feel like I actually deserve to be a part of the medical profession. I definitely want to do this program again for Level 3!
