This is Eliza from the CK forum. I took ck last year and then started step1 studying. Received my score last week after 8 months of preparation, 6 of those were hard-core studying.

My last two NMBEs were 249 and 251 respectively.
My usmle 1 score 252. I'm beyond happy!!!

I am foreign graduate, knew my basic sciences were weak, I also didn’t have or know any US study techniques. Hard work and consistency were the only options for me. feel free to contact me for any guidance.

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.
thiis is their scam location beware of this class it is not good.
