Why pay this much? IF YOU ARE AN IMG, and think that $14k is too much, well...look at this post by a PGY2 currently making ~$175K per year,-moonlighting! DO NOT BE A FOOL...DO NOT LISTEN TO OTHER IMG FOOLS...YOU MUST ACE YOUR STEPS-PERIOD-TAKE STEP 3 IF NEEDED.HERE'S WHY! RE:
'Almost every program will let you moonlight at least PGY-3 after passing step 3 and getting your license. Only one program I interviewed at did not allow moonlighting at all during residency. Many programs allow you to start moonlighting once you pass step 3 and get your license, meaning you could start early PGY-2 if you are intentional about taking step 3 soon. Some programs even allow you to moonlight starting PGY-2 regardless of whether or not you have taken step 3.

1.USMLE Courses Ratings (MY PAST USMLE history)
Finish all steps including your USMLE Step 3!-(get a mean score with no attempts). Many IMG Friendly residency programs directors have spoken to me personally and discuss this at the annual residency directors' meetings stating that they now REQUIRE THIS step's PASSAGE AS A prerequisite for IMGs EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT STATE THIS SPECIFICALLY on their website.
If you have not yet started yours STEPS, then for Goodness Sakes, GET VERY HIGH SCORES in ALL STEPS! PERIOD! For IMGS, the USMLE steps's scores and lack of USMLE failures, account for 95-98% of your residency Application's potential for success. (or to put it more frankly, if you want to achieve the $204K per annum salaries that US primary care physicians make, then get HIGH SCORES_ i.e., use COMMON SENSE!!!: i.e., :
SEE THE USMLE Course RATINGS BELOW for information on the various USMLE courses.
• Kaplan Live (cost me $8800-Chicago) Good Material, Some teachers are good, others terrible. Also good Q-Banks. But they are useless for someone that needs personalized attention for problems. Also there is no TRUE " CASH-REFUND GUARANTEE." BOTTOM LINE-I got a 163 with them that was a massive failure. In OTHER WORDs THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR MONEY before YOU EVEN START THE COURSE so they thus have no incentive to ascertain that you pass.
• Pass Program (IL) total cost was $11,000 (including Room and Board) for a 30-day course with the same problem of having no true INDIVIDUALIZED instruction by a certified MD professor. ! Also their PASS rate is closer to 17% and not 94% (as they claim), as that is what I confirmed through numerous forum friends that failed on any given month. And similar to Kaplan, there is the problem of having no TRUE " CASH-REFUND GUARANTEE."
What about the others e.g., USMLE Success Academy, NYCS Prep, Dr Gold (RE 'bronze...') Becker, Sylvan, DIT, MedSchool Tutors and SINGLE MD or resident MOM and POP ($10-50-80/hr "DISCOUNT" operations via Tutorz or Wyzant or "JoeBlow Medical Doctor "... They have been in operation for 4 months as of February, 2018 and claim to guarantee you the MOON- but with what type of experience?-i.e., Delusions of GRANDEUR?)
MEMBERS OF MY BLOG, AS WELL AS MY OTHER ACQUAINTANCES HAVE REPEATEDLY PROVIDED nightmarish encounters with these entities. Very similar to Kaplan and Pass in that one respect--THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY, BUT DO NOT REFUND THE FUNDS IF YOU DO NOT PASS. for example- One Caribe student hired Med School Tutors for 69 hours in order to prepare for step 1 (this student had one prior failure at score 156).RE:
After 69 hrs of billed tutoring, at a cost of $20,700(!!!!) , this student improved on his next attempt, to a 163-FAIL!!!! This horror story with a tutor recently graduated from a top US medical school makes it clear that a top notch tutor needs
a. years of experience to tutor effectively
b. the above should be specific tutoring experience with IMGs (be they international from Europe or Asia etc or US IMGs from Caribes)
c. to be able to give a 100% guarantee to this effect--otherwise they are marketing nonsensical, unverified claims that resemble PASS program and Kaplan..
or What about Harish Malik 'best usmle tutor..." (LOL!...) RE:

Not worth it. Tried for Step 2 CK and got ripped about 2000 USD ). Classmate tried and supposedly had 'success,' I'm questioning that. Anyway, he gives an initial 'free consultation,' which was interesting, but not very helpful with regard to relevant material. He gives you a lot of 'resources' (links to online materials eg wikipedia articles etc), but you can honestly just google this yourself- AND find better resources His approach to teaching is going through the question together with you and basically helping you improve test-taking skills if that's your weakness. But he doesn't really seem to know what's high yield on the test. Gave me a bunch of links to memorize when I was already pressed for time. Furthermore, didn't seem to account for that lack of time and kept going off tangent, especially the first session.
He wanted to do 6 ish hour sessions per day, straight. I was willing to go through 3 hour chunks, but stopped after a brief period. I took a shelf where I was weak and got maybe a 1-2 question improvement from a previous. Likely a fluke. But overall, not very helpful tutor, unstructured, and seems to be out there to squeeze out all your money.
...
I know we're all students. Just trying to help out anyone else who struggling, but needs guidance. Take care and good luck.

Failed my USMLE step 1 exam with very low score after taking NYCS prep class, it was an utter waste of time and money. The instructors are incompetent and did not answer any of my questions, they also treated me like I was stupid when i did not know something, they read out of kaplan books and plagiarized. I definitely do not recommend them, their new york center is very small and cramped and not as advertised.
They also pay people to write fake success reviews dont be tricked by them
Failed with USMLESUCCESS ACADEMY total ripoff course - any thoughts or advice?
I got a failing score on USMLE step 1 exam and I have been surprised to see such a low score, I memorized all of usmle success academy notes and it did not help me on the real exam. I read first aid and did the usmle success academy course in Chicago, it was a total waste of time and money, they did not even teach me how to answer questions properly and the content was wrong, I had to correct the instructor a few times on things that were wrong, I wasted my time and money and now they wont even offer a refund, they wont answer my calls, I tried to call them anonymous and they answered since they thought I was trying to sign up. USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY IS A SCAM AND FRAUD FOR USMLE STEP 1 please beware of this scam program that guarantees pass. ANY COMPANY THAT GUARANTEES PASS IS A TOTAL SCAM
I do not know how I am going to get into residency with a fail on step 1 especially now that it is PASS/FAIL
I do not recommend USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY AT ALL, please watch out for this scam ripoff class.
THE ABOVE FIRMS are an example of "McNaughten's rule" in practice i.e., one is criminally insane to use them!
THE ULTIMATE ANSWER! Is this PERSONALIZED online/live telephonic lectures program with the USMLE Tutors of Choice ' RE: the'USMLE EINSTEIN...' -driven e CLASSeS ("Comprehensive Licensing And Student Support Services") for HCPs
with a TRUE "100%- CASH-REFUND GUARANTEE." (i.e., their motto is 'If you do not PASS via us as your USMLE Tutor, you DO NOT PAY...'; and yes they are VERY expensive at $13,750 per Step--but that money is only transferred to them if your USMLE score report is a PASS--no other nonsense, there--just the bottom line guarantee of your success...).

MY OWN Bottom line MY USMLE SCORES with them were (old scoring system): step 1 276 (i.e..,, step 2-CK 272; step 3 264).
