WORTH EVERY PENNY!! This is a 4 week "mental boot camp" as I like to call it. Dr. James goes over and gives extremely helpful explanations to the high-yield material from every subject and you get to keep refreshing and practicing the material in the daily class quizzes, nightly quizzes and weekly exams. Most students stay at the Holiday Inn Express where the staff is also very nice and who got to know all of the students well. Each night a bunch of the students would meet downstairs to study and take the nightly quiz or exam together. It was exactly what I needed after being at a plateau in my NBME grades and feeling like I couldn't get to where I needed to be alone and not knowing what else to do to be ready for Step 1; a point where I felt like I was giving up and losing hope which was why I signed up for the course. The lectures helped solidify my foundations in the subjects and helped me understand the "why" so I could tackle any question on the subject. I even stayed after one day and Dr. James helped me better understand a specific topic I was struggling with. My NBME exam from before and after the class increased by 18 overall percentage points and all of my subject grades increased as well; I was finally passing the NBME exams. My UWorld 40 question mixed subject averages also went up 10-20 percentage points and I was able to consistently keep the same range of scores verses before the review class where I was getting average scores all over the place and nothing was consistent. I am extremely grateful for this program for helping me get past Step 1 successfully, on my first try, and helping me gain the knowledge and confidence I needed to pass Step 1 so I can continue on to clinicals and move past the stressful chapter of studying for the board exam.

The course was fast paced but it hit every topic area needed for the exam. The course instructor was very knowledgeable and more than helpful in assisting me to reach my goal.

My experience at the academy was so great that it took me just 3 weeks after the 4weeks course to take my STEP1 exam which I’ve been preparing for more than a year. Dr. James is a Great Tutor and mentor who helps you through your troubles untill you conquer your fears.

Very good step 1 course. 100% recommended.

Amazing Step 1 live online classes. The course material was thorough and easy to follow, the instructor was very knowledgeable and always willing to help, and I was finally able to pass after having difficulty with my NBME and UWorld assessments. Highly recommend the Success Academy as your primary review source.

I highly recommend the Usmle Success Academy Step 1 Course. This course is very efficient and straight to the point. I couldn’t have passed without it.

Usmle Success Academy offers an excellent prep course for Step1. As a student coming from a foreign Medical School this course gives you the knowledge and guidance to achieve a excellent score. The group setting of the course is great because it allowes you to see others points of view as well as bouncing off od ideas on studying strategies. The smaller class size is very beneficial beacause it allows you to participate, ask questions and interact with the instructor at any time. The instructor is an excellent teacher and motivator with years of experiance as a doctor which gives an incredible insight to practicing medicine and applying Medical knowledge.

This was the most reliable and useful tool I have used while studying for my step 1 exam. This course was recommended to me by my schools student advisor. It is an absolute must for someone struggling with their step 1 prep.
