The Method taught me how to access the analytical part of my mind and not just how to regurgitate facts.

With residency spots being so competitive I knew it was a good idea to take a board review program before taking Step 1, but I was really dreading sitting through more lectures. I was so happy to find The Institute for Medical Boards. Their cognitive learning styles helped me retain and understand a lot more information. It all paid off, I got a higher score than I even anticipated – 259 on USMLE.

I say this for all medical students, IMG, FMG and/or US med students. I struggled with my preparation for USMLE Step1. I really did everything that I could possibly do to get ready for this exam. I spent thousands of dollars and in the end, I failed my exam a couple of times. I was pretty close to giving up until I came across the Institute. I honestly was skeptical about it but after seeing and experiencing “the method”, I was very surprised. In just a span of a few weeks, my bank blocks went up 25% points. I couldn’t believe learning these techniques would prove to be the best investment I ever did in my medical career. With fervent dedication, I took the exam confidently and passed with no problems. I was extremely overjoyed. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing “224 Pass” on your score report. I can now concentrate on Step 2 knowing that being a physician is still in my future. Thank you Edwena and faculty. You are a gem to the medical community. If you feel like you have tried it all, you really haven’t.

I just wanted to thank everyone for providing the tools to prepare for the COMLEX level 2. I did take my exam and I am so happy to report that I passed my exam with a great score (I went up 230 points!) I think the program is a great program and after my previous failure I am so relieved, so happy and just simply elated. I was numb for a couple of days until it finally hit me that I in fact did pass. Without a doubt, the method does work. I will testify to that. So expect to see me for Step 3 review.

Just a quick note to let you know I made it into the Orthopedic Surgery Residency I hoped to. Thank you again for helping me achieve the scores I needed to accomplish this. I will always be grateful for all the moral support and the extra things you did to see the success in all of us.
