"Great teaching approach "

There, unique method of teaching makes understanding the material so much easier , highly recommended! A LOT of work though, you’ll have to have the time to do more than a full business day worth of work and not miss any days! The info and timeline is so important that sometimes it’s a little too much but you have access even after the program so I definitely think it’s worth it!

"Unlocking STEP 1 Success"

Dr. Francis was amazing in how he arranged information and gave us a road map on how to approach STEP 1. I think the best thing about this program is that it never tries to confuse you and reinforces knowledge in a very simple and sequential way. STEP 1 is actually much more simpler when Dr. Francis opens your eyes to the rules and patterns that medical schools do not teach. His morning questions are especially valuable as they help you develop the mentality to attack STEP 1 questions and get them right even when you're not sure about the answer.

"Best prep for USMLE"

Very organized
He teaches exact clues for the exam
He engages with the student
He is very passionate about teaching
He answers everyone’s doubts

"Honestly"

Honestly, this is the best program on the market. The only problem with this program is that so many medical students don’t know about it. The knowledge building is superior to any program I have experienced ( a lot). The environment is extremely supportive and enhance the learning experience many fold. The group learning with peers is amazing. I am so grateful to Dr. Francis for creating Pass Program. My only regret is that I did not learn about this program earlier in my career. Please give this program a try. I believe you will have an amazing experience. Thank you for reading.

"Love the videos"

Love the videos. Just wished the closed caption would be better. Some words are just gibberish.

"Organize your thinking for the boards"

Pass program, Dr. Frances and tutors help you to organize your knowledge and face performance.

Amazing program that is equipping future Doctors

"Your pathway to Step exam success "

Highly recommend this program for Step 1 preparation only because I have experience on the Step 1 end, but I have heard great things about Step 2 prep as well. Dr. Francis is a very engaging lecturer and explains concepts in a way that I haven't heard before. I did the live, online version with two sessions of virtual tutoring and felt well prepared sitting for my third retake of step 1 and passed it!! Dr. Francis and his team are a Godsend. I hope this program continues providing help, hope, and encouragement to students for years to come. It is well worth the cost!

"I passed step"

I passed step! I had taken and failed step twice before I heard about the pass program. Dr Francis has a gift when it comes to explaining how we should approach questions as medical students. I not only felt confident I would pass (and did) but I also feel confident going into 3rd year!

"These Guys make Doctors."

I will preface this review by saying that my pre-clinical performance leaves much to be desired. Save for once in a blue moon, you'd find me 'just' at the passing threshold for most of my pre-clinical assessments. Med school is hard.

But Dr. Francis and the Pass Program showed me that it doesn't have to be that way. I began their live-online course throughout the month of April. I was nervous and frankly scared. On top of the time/money investment, my school had notified me that delaying my exam would risk graduation delays.

Thanks to the efforts of the kind folks at the program, I not only passed USMLE Step 1, but I was allowed to begin my M3 year just in time with the rest of my peers!

The Pass Program shows you how Step 1 is a physical, mental, and emotional test. You'll often find Dr. Francis mentioning how, "the testwriter wants to intimidate you," to obscure what would otherwise be easy recall. He shows you what he means through his daily morning questions. Waking up at first light, Dr. Francis goes through ~10-15 Step 1/2 questions and shows how his technique brings results. He has students tackle questions solo in front of the class, guiding them if they get lost or intimidated by the content. If you sign up, I HEAVILY RECOMMEND participating in these.

He follows this up with deceptively simple lectures. What may look like a few slides are actually very in-depth conversational lectures centered on what is high yield for Step 1. He doesn't just regurgitate information (except for the fundamental concepts you just have to rote memorize and drill with partners). Dr. Francis will show you how to relate one concept to another, often plucking one factor of a disease or condition and revealing its connection to a seemingly isolated effect. He calls this empowerment, and I can attest to the euphoric feeling everyone in the room gets when it just clicks. This way of thinking lets you extrapolate the right answer from the question vignette. It goes even further to prepare you for what you'll see in your clinical rotations; because, after all, you'll be dealing with real patients soon enough!

I had a fantastic time with the Pass Program, they helped me shore up content gaps, they helped me tame my test-taking anxiety, and most important of all- they taught me how to think like a good doctor.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Pass Program. If you're not feeling comfortable with your Step 1 study performance, save yourself weeks of worry, headache, and exhaustion; go meet the wonderful people dedicated to seeing you empowered.
