I have received some much guidance from this forum the past year, and now it is time for me to give back. First, I struggled with step 1, alot! I finished my basic sciences and I first needed to pass my schools comprehensive basic science exam. Our school offers Kaplan which is great, had really informative lectures. After taking Kaplan I failed the comp, so my school suggested Pass, ********* and Usmle success academy.
I contacted all three programs and I choose *********. I spent 3 weeks at the program and within that time my NBME score jumped to passing. I went from a 178 (my first exam) to a 194....I was delighted. I continued to stay at the program until I took the comp and I passed it!! Best news was I DIDNT GET KICKED OUT OF MY SCHOOL! But also they helped me make medicine fun and interesting. Afterwards I went home and prepared for my step 1 exam, with all the tools I had learned from the Eagle family! The tutors showed me how to break down questions, DR N simplified Cardio, Renal, and Immuno to me in a way nobody has before, it was awesome. Things clicked. 3 weeks before my exam I returned to the program, so I could run through all the info really quickly and get the help from the tutors and DR N. I got all the help needed with drilling, answering questions and going through all the high yield concepts. These guys drilled it into our heads. But most importantly they helped me with my confidence and I was ready to beat the beast!!
I got my score and I received a 230....a 230!!! I never thought a random guy from a Carib med school would score that...NEVER!! I want to thank the Eagle family, the students, the tutors, the staff and also jimmy johns for always delivering so fast!!
For you who are struggling.....this was the best thing I did to myself! Thank you EAGLES!!!!!
