I purchased this course and then told my friend about it! We were able to successfully pass Step 1! Very grateful for this course! The price was also a lot cheaper than its competitors!

Passed Step-2 CS

A top quality Step-2 CS course. Only a few students per MD so you get full attention and critique. MD's analyse each of your patient note and give crucial tips on how to improve it. Course is completely practice based and hands on. I am very happy with the course and was confident taking the exam, would definitely recommend.

USMLE Success Academy for STEP 2 CS was a great experience. Between the study materials emailed to me in advance and the feedback offered by the doctors, I felt very confident taking the exam and passed with flying colors! Thank you again for your help, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone in need of a little help to push them to success!
Also, I met the love of my life who was there at the same time in the STEP 1 study program and we got married. The whole thing was a huge success. Thanks, guys!

Great way to learn for CS

Great way to learn for CS. I ended up passing borderline to high on ICE and CIS. However, did not pass the exam given by USMLE Success Academy. The exam given by USMLE Success Academy is more difficult than the actual exam. Maybe they are trying to cover themselves because they do give a guarantee pass or money back. Overall a good experience and good feedback.

Step 1 Live Course Review

I had a good experience here this summer. Instructor was amazing and had an easy time communicating with staff while setting up my step 1 course. Passed my CBSE after the course and am close to writing step 1 in a few weeks

I really enjoyed this program

I really enjoyed this program for my Step 1 exam. I’ve tried another online program and it didn’t even compare to the Usmle Success Academy. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a program that actually works.

Great place for Step 2 prep.

Great place for Step 2 prep. This course is well structured with a ton of hands on practice as well as fantastic instructors. Mock exam is hard, which truly prepares you for the actual exam. Also, their customer service is fantastic.I passed with flying colors and I know, this course was the reason.

USMLE Success Academy literally saved…

USMLE Success Academy literally saved me! As a preface, I don't work here, don't know anyone who does, they didn't approach me for a review and I haven't even reach out to appreciate them directly. My experience: I am an IMG, wrote my Step 1, took a week to rest/flip through First Aid step 2CS, took the live course for Step 2CS and a mini-mock in Chicago and used the next week on the Patient Note program which I will highly recommend. Without studying for step 2CK - which they advise that you do and which I think is the best. I started the note program with less than mediocre notes and almost always running out of time. All I did was follow the recommendations from my graded note, Dr. Paul Ciurysek seemed to know exactly how the CS notes are graded and what I needed to improve on. By the end of the week, my notes were much better and I took the CS, passing on the first attempt. Three weeks post-Step 1 and only Success Academy as my anchor were all I needed for Step 2CS.

Live step1 course.

I sincerely enjoyed this Live step1 course in Chicago. The instructor was very knowledgable in the step1 material and the course was very well organized. I passed step1 with a high score and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I recommend this course to those preparing for step1.

THE ONLY CS PROGRAM YOU SHOULD PREPARE WITH!

After attending USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY Step 2 CS Program I realized I have wasted about a month of my life on another online course. After failing with “the other course” I was crushed because I was told I would be ready for the exam and I wasn’t. Thank God I found USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY! This in person program is a MUST when preparing for the CS exam. The actual exam was exactly the way I was being prepared by the instructors. In addition, I purchased the PATIENT NOTE PROGRAM and it helped me tremendously. I am so grateful to the USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY, they are the reason I passed!

Usmle Success Academy is great choice for Step 1 preparation. Their online Step 1 program was the right fit for me considering I was working while preparing for the Step 1 exam. Their customer service is wonderful. I really appreciated their honest advice and guidance throughout my Step 1 preparation. Having done another preparation course with another company, Usmle Success Academy is far more superior and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take a prep course.

I passed, and so can YOU

The course went over all the relevant cases for Step 2 CS. The guide book was well written, concise, and offered cases that FA didn't. The teachers were phenomenal; they answered all of our questions and provided excellent feedback on ways to improve the history, physical exam, and patient note. Of note, the administrative staff was accommodating and displayed good business practices. If you're looking for a prep course, this is a really good one. I only took the 4 day class and not the mini mock, but I've heard it's a good way to simulate the case load and develop a sense of timing.

Best Step 1 prep course!

I wasn't able to pass my comp exam after taking my school’s mandatory review course and felt lost. A friend had recommended the Success Academy and I’m glad I listened. I took their Step 1 online class for my comp exam and finally passed. I decided to also do the Step 1 class in Chicago for the Step 1 which helped me get a 234. Great Step 1 courses and customer service.

I just got my results for the CS exam and I passed!! I don’t think I would have passed if it wasn’t for the Usmle Success Academy... I first did their online Patient Notes followed by the 5 day course with mock exam. I am so glad I listen to the advice of the person I spoke to from the Usmle Success Academy before signing up. All of the advice I received was right on point. I love the fact that I only had two other people in my class and I did get to know students in the other CS class to practice more and they all seemed very happy with this course like me. I am definitely recommending this program to my friends.

Preparing for Step 1 was very stressful for me considering I was studying while working and have previously failed the Step 1. I chose the USMLE Success Academy because one of my friends recommend it to me since he also did their Step 1 online. I’m very glad I listened. Being very busy and not able to study for too many hours a day, it took me over 10 weeks to prepare. The videos are very well made and the material is explained in a way that is easy to follow. I was able to access it at any time I wanted which worked out great for me. I am very happy with my score of 238 and I highly recommend this course:

If it wasn’t for the Success Academy…

If it wasn’t for the Success Academy I’m pretty sure I would have failed my CS exam. I took their Mock Exam and I failed because my patient notes needed a lot of work. I was advised to do their patent note program which I’m so glad I did. Got great feedback and I made the advised changes. I followed up with another mini mock exam and I did great on it. I did great on my actual CS exam and it’s absolutely thanks to the Success Academy. Doing a Mock Exam is a must for anyone going in to the CS Exam.

Overall I found this course to be beyond helpful. The instructors have clearly mastered the requirements to be successful on step 2 CS and transfer those skills to the student via practice and repetition. I highly recommended this course to anyone taking step 2 CS.
