From a foreign non-US IMG point of view As a non-US IMG who is completely foreign to the USMLEs and test taking strategies, I highly appreciated the program. I believe what Dr. Naik and his team have created is very beneficial. His test taking class was what really blew my mind. I had never seen someone answer questions correctly and so quickly. And they way he dissects the vignettes to draw out the very important clues to help you answer questions is pretty awesome. The 6 week course is fast but efficient. You really have to follow their rules in terms of studying the topics taught in class after the class is over for it to be effective for you. I also want to give a shout out to my tutor. The one-on-one sessions was what helped me be more confident. We made plans strategically, focused on weak areas, filled in knowledge gaps and worked very hard in improving my test taking skills. I had never done multiple choice questions from where I did medical school so it was challenging for me but this course really helped me on that. Highly recommend. No frills or bs.

Dr Naik changes lives Dr. Naik has raving reviews and it's normal to be skeptical of if the reviews are real. After taking his course and passing all my exams I can guarantee every review is legit. He is honestly changing so many lives by helping students. I always struggled with exams and did very poorly on step1, but I took his course for the CBSE/Step2 and I felt like my eyes were finally open. All the things that never made sense or felt confusing were clarified and explained so well. His course is intense. It's 6 weeks of dedicated studying, and if you follow is schedule you will succeed. Some students take the course twice, but that depends on how weak your foundation is and how much effort did you put in to review before/after his lectures. His teaching style is a little unconventional and seems harsh to some students. But he's genuinely very caring and dedicated to his students. I feel like he puts on a bit of a harsh tone to keep you alert, but his jokes are hilarious. I still quote some of his one-liners. Just go in without any ego or pride. Be honest about what you don't know. Put the effort in and study hard. Just put your trust in Dr. Naik. He will help you, as long as you want to be helped.

The best experience ever The best experience ever . The only course where 2 years of your medical school is broken down and put inside your head in a time frame of 6 weeks . It’s like a mentor you wish you had from day 1 , the only resource you’d ever need for the rest of your medical career. I was skeptical about how nice reviews the course got , but when I personally sat on the class Dr. Naik blew my mind . The struggle that I had for years was destroyed indefinitely within a couple of hours . The push for success and a holistic approach , Can’t stop saying good about this . You definitely need to do this if you are in medical school wherever in the world .

It was amazing to find this course It was amazing to find this course it was a course that helped me understand much more concepts than I had and now I am able to have a different understanding of medicine and it even helps me when I am in my rotations because I am able to think differently and my attendings see it.

Excellent Dr. Naik truly knows the art of teaching and knows where a student’s weakness his. The course is complete, to the point and very well made. The live lectures are fun and very well taught. I will recommend this Survivors Courses for all USMLE, MCQE exams, and personal statements. Thank you to all the tutors and especially Dr. Naik!
