The USMLE's will be as easy as Drinking Water!
Whether you're taking the USMLE's, COMP, or Shelf, Dr. Naik will make it as easy as "Drinking Water." Dr. Naik makes the toughest concepts in medicine comprehensible and applicable. He'll provide you with the tools, clues, and methods on how to answer each question. You'll notice how fast and accurate you are at getting to the right answers as you go through UWorld questions. The course is tough because there is a lot of material, but everything is important, so if you focus in class, that'll get you halfway through reviewing the material. Dr. Naik will be direct in class to make you understand and remember the material, which may seem stressful, but it's a good push. He tells stories that make the material relatable and understandable. Dr. Naik cares about his students, he remembers our weaknesses and strengths and helps you build you knowledge by drilling you in class and advising on what to improve on. He basically tailors his course to you as he lectures and you'll be amazed at how much he remembers about each student. He also offers more than the course, by providing guidance and programs to help you all the way through residency. Overall Survivors Course is different from all the other courses because it removes all the other nonsense we don't need to know, gets the job done, and you get that personal care and attention you need to get through these tough exams. If that's what you're looking for, than you should join the course!

Phenomenal
The survivors courses teaches you a better way of understanding the material and approaching the questions for the exam. Dr Naik does a phenomenal job in making sure the students understand the material and are trying to keep up the course. He has a great knack of breaking down convoluted material into easily digestible bits - if only this material was taught like that in med school too!! The course also offers a 1:1 tutoring portion that allows you to go over questions and material that you may need additional help with. All in all, it’s a great course and worth it.

massive jump in my score
Dr. Naik does a great job at explaining and teaching the toughest and biggest concepts in medicine. He drills you throughout the course to ensure you retain these high-yield concepts. He is a wizard when it comes to breaking down questions, and a large part of why this course is so special is the test-taking skills and principles of management that he drills into you during the course. The combination of understanding the big concepts in GI, NEURO, CARDIO, RESP, and OBGYN to name a few, coupled with the test-taking skills is what helped to boost my exam score by over 20 points.

Dr Naik knows the exams inside and out
Dr Naik knows the exams inside and out. His guidance and help is priceless. I struggled to even pass the exams and now I'm starting residency this summer. Step 1: 210 (before I took this course) then Step 2: 235. QE1: 257

I had a great experience!I wouldn’t have passed step 2 without survivor’s course. Dr. Naik helped me build my confidence and build the basic medicine foundation I needed to succeed. I have tried a one to one step 2 course prior to enrolling to this course and it had not been as helpful. Thank you Dr. Naik!

You have to trust the process
You have to trust the process. He’s class is hard and he expects a lot from all his students but if you put the time and effort you’ll have an excellent result. I have taken his course for step 2 and step 3 and I have never felt so prepare/confident for an exam. Bc of my score I was able to match.

AMAZING
AMAZING! The course filled in ALL of my learning gaps, some I didn't even realize I had....I was a different medical student after this course...Not only did the course increase my depth of medical knowledge, it changed the way I thought, the way I approach questions and most importantly the confidence I had in myself as a future physician! There aren't enough words to explain how this course was the turning point of my medical education!!!

Step 1 = 224, Step 2 = 246
Survivors Course (610) 787-7020 - Because of this course my score went from 224 Step 1 to 246 Step 2. The book gives you exactly what you need to know for the exam and is made to follow with UWorld. There were live lectures on Skype, and Dr. Naik would repeat things in a way that you end up memorizing something without even realizing it. He knows how students think and he knew exactly what mistakes we were making and why. He has a very specific process and it honestly works.

This was one of the best decisions I've made. I was on my last attempt for my comp exam for step 1 and this course helped me pass. He deals with heavy concept and less memorization.

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.

Finally passed COMP
Fair to say that without Dr. Naik's help and his course I wouldn't have passed COMP for Step 2. He is just honest and straight to the point. He'll tell you what you're doing wrong and you either fix it or fix it, it's for your own good. He and his team are very passionate about their job.

Relevant Medical courses
Survivors course was an excellent course for a beginner or a refresher course for someone looking to get back into medical education. This medical course briefly covers the relevant topics of Medical theories and I found them very easy to understand and helped to put thees theories in context. This course provides you an opportunity to conduct a meaningful teaching which would be highly recommended.

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.
