"This program was CRUCIAL to my passing STEP 1. I learned so much more than just the knowledge needed to pass! I learned test taking and critical thinking skills as well. And the instructors that this program has as well as it director are of the highest class! I enjoyed and took advantage of every single moment I spent there! The instructors really make sure you understand what you’re being taught and what they expect from you as well. They are very invested in your success and plus they’ve all been through what they’re teaching you to get through so experience ply a factor in the exemplary teaching as well. Money and time well spent I’d say!!"

"I first heard about IOMB by referral, this was the best advice I ever got. They have wonderful professors that answer all question and work through any conceptual gaps you may have and the team of people you work with are honestly supportive and encouraging that make you feel home. my advice through this program is trust the process and make sure you put in effort on your works, you will definitely rip your fruits. And if you can may be do a 50% UW questions, that would make things a little less challenging when you start this program. Thank you IOMB for all your support, I have now passed my COMLEX Level 1."

"I had a friend tell me I couldn’t go beyond 10 or so points above my step 1 score. Suffice to say, he was wrong: I went 28 points higher on my Step 2 exam. This IOMB course helped me realize some critical factors that I now know I need to perform well and in a more efficient manner-such as group study and also the seemingly simple method of reading aloud. I wouldn’t have had these two tactics if I hadn’t taken this course, and upon exercising the new strategies, my score skyrocketed. I even made a good friend through the program and we continued to study daily with each other after the course ended and we both ultimately found out we passed and more than that-did well-on Step 2 (I found out today). This course gave me structure (I still wake up early now which I never did before unless I had to), a good friend, and my highest score I’ve ever obtained compared to previous practice tests. I can put this behind me but as a private tutor myself, I know the value of programs and this program helped me in more ways than one. Happy to answer questions if anyone ever wants to know more before enrolling in this course :)"

"I went here for a step 1 prep course, mandated by my school. I'll be honest before arriving I didn't not think it was necessary. However after the first day I realized how wrong I was. The educators are all amazing humans bringing a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to help you become the best test taker you can be. After having successfully taken and passed step 1, I can confidently say IOMB made the whole experience infinity easier than it would have otherwise been."

"Participating in IOMB was one of the best decisions that I could have made. I had reached a plateau in my Step 1 prep and was having a hard time diagnosing what the problem was. Our instructor, Dr. Abiel worked tirelessly to equip us with the knowledge and skills we would need to not only approach USMLE style questions, but future patients in general. We were taught a unique method to approach board style question that gave us the confidence to make predictions which allow us to select the right answer choices. But just as important (or maybe even more), were the wellness sessions we had with Edwena Kap. I would highly encourage any student struggling with Step 1 prep to give this program a try. Especially if you are having trouble getting into a routine during dedicated period. I am happy with my results and I can confidently say that IOMB played a large role for me in me passing Step 1"
