“I loved when he would do the flow charts and break down the topics…”
I found out about the program through another AUA friend. The program was
very helpful. This program definitely filled in gaps of my knowledge. This
program helped me really organize my way of studying. The flexibility of the
course schedule is great as well. I liked the way Dr. Suleiman presented the
material. I loved when he would do the flow charts and break down the topics
into a simple format that really helps retain it in memory.
I tried Kaplan-Mandatory after basic sciences. I think Dr. Suleiman’s course
was much more effective in terms of integration and high-yield knowledge.
Systems based review course is much better for me personally than subject
based. I feel like my foundation is completely solidified now and my
performance level on and practice exams have definitely improved…
Thank you to Dr. Suleiman and Ulysses for making this step course happen. I
feel more at ease and prepared to take the step after these 6 weeks of
preparation.
