***I PASSED STEP 1 WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE on my USMLE step 1 and I would like to thank the hard working staff at GoldUSMLE for helping me achieve my goal. I was overwhelmed studying on my own and I decided to seek the GoldUSMLE STEP1 classes. I was lost on my own and didn’t know what to focus on before I came to the GoldUSMLE STEP1 class, the review pinpointed me onto the specific high yield points I needed to know, and helped me understand the underlying concepts beneath each question. It solidified my knowledge and allowed me to reach my potential, I ended up scoring alot higher than my NBME practice set thanks to the high quality review. The amount of hours the doctor spent with us going over topics was extraordinary and I appreciate his stamina and dedication to his students. I strongly recommend the GoldUSMLE review for USMLE step 1 prep without hesitation. It saved me alot of time in my preparation and I highly recommend the GoldUSMLE Step 1 class.

***Gold USMLE classes with Dr. Thomas saved my life and helped me get through the United States Medical Licensing Exam Step Before I joined Gold Usmle with Dr. Thomas , I had already taken the USMLE step 1 once and failed. I was devastated and clueless one how to go about my career as an IMG. I did not want to give up on medicine as it was my dream to become a doctor in the United States. I came across GOLD USMLE from a friend of mine who had taken the class. I spoke with Dr. Thomas and told him how I had failed my USMLE STEP 1 . He had some amazing reassurance that it was okay and it just meant that I had more time to study my fundamentals as our ultimate aim in the field of medicine is to be a better doctor and not just pass an exam. The way Dr. Thomas teaches is outstanding. We would go through the questions and not only would he talk about why the correct answer was the right answer but he would go through the other answer choices to see why they were wrong. I cannot emphasize how much effort Dr.Thomas puts on his students. He literally trained my mind on how to approach a question. He would walk through the question with us in class step by step. His technique of eliminating the wrong answer choices to get to the answer choice helped me a lot. It gave me more confidence in choosing the right answer. I realized with time as I implemented this approach I was getting more questions right. I saw that when I approached every question with the techniques Dr. Thomas taught us I was able to get my scores up and I was passing my NBMES. Due to Dr. Thomas guidance and skill to approach the questions I was able to pass my USMLE Step 1 the second time around. GOLD USMLE was the sole reason I had the courage and confidence to attempt it the second time around and I passed. The care Dr. Thomas has for his students medical career is inspiring. He puts in all his efforts to make sure we do well. Im so grateful that I was able to learn from Dr. Thomas and GOLD USMLE helped me get through this exam. DR. Thomas is a great teacher that not only teaches us the material but he put in my head that in the field of medicine we have to keep working hard. It is merely not about passing an exam but it is about saving lives.Thank you Dr. Thomas and I recommend this class to anyone who feels lost and needs some guidance. Take this course with Dr. Thomas and I can confidently say this is the best course for USMLE exams. Nothing beats GOLD USMLE. Thank you Dr. Thomas and the GOLD USMLE team.

I had joined Gold USMLE step 3 classes and i even passed the exam. Dr. Thomas and Dr Tarik offer the classes in which they gave us an idea on how step 3 exam is conducted, what can we expect from day 1 and day 2 of the exam. They helped me with the topics which are difficult to understand and helped me prepare for the CCS and biostats part of the exam as well. I can say that the course instructors have great knowledge and were very helpful. I would recommend this classes for people who want to prepare for their exam in a short time and get a good score.

“Dr. Thomas’ high yield review for the USMLE step 2 CK was very elaborate and on point, he covered all of the topics for my exam and pushed me to be productive each day. We did questions together each day and he helped me identify my weak areas and made all of my weak areas my strengths. I strongly recommend this review and it was the most affordable crash course for the STEP 2 CK exam. His effort and strong will are unmatched and I have never seen such a dedicated medical professor like him.”

“Scored 252 thank you guys so much…Gold USMLE Review was an amazing STEP2CK class. I think what helped the most was being able to learn concepts and understand at a deeper level, to be able to think during exam times. Dr Thomas are incredible in teaching/explaining and making sure everyone understands concepts. The test taking strategies also helped a lot. These skills will definitely help during future exams. I highly recommend this class as it provides the additional help, guidance, and support for taking exams.”

-DR RANDY W. MD,
PASSED CK AND GOT 252!! MUCH THANKS TO DR THOMAS. Goldusmlereview is by far the best USMLE review course hands down !!! Dr. Thomas and his staff went well and beyond and far exceeded my expectations when preparing for my USMLE exams. Dr. Thomas was very personable and treated me for the individual who I am. His approach is unique as he is a professor/teacher, mentor, and coach all in one !!! With this course you have the luxury of having someone (Dr. Thomas) right by your side at all times. The course helped gauged by strengths and weaknesses and helped me focus on areas of improvement. I had the luxury of attending both live and online sessions. The live course was akin to a boot camp full of energy and enthusiasm displayed by Dr. Thomas. The zoom online sessions were incredible as well with an interactive display and helping all the students being engaged at all times with lecture slides, practice questions, and discussions. In addition, the class sizes are limited so that attention can be given to all the students. Highly recommend !!!!!
-DR JACKIE C, MD
I took my Gold USMLE STEP2CK coaching in June 1st week in Houston. My exam was scheduled less than 2 weeks after the GOLD class (for June 18) . Before coming here I had a lot of apprehensions about CK preparation as I came without completing FA. At the end of the first day of class, my mind felt confident enough to work and take the real exam after 2 weeks. All hesitation was kicked out. GOLD is the reason I have passed with flying colours.
The entire team at GOLD was instrumental in this success. The time and energy they put in made sure that they hammered home all the relevant points from IM, PEDS, SURGERY, PSYCH, OBGYN WAS VERY HELPFUL AND PRODUCTIVE. THE ALGORITHMS THEY PROVIDE HELPED ME IMMENSELY.. I could finish all the blocks much before time in the real exam. The Gold USMLE step2ck classes are intensive and well structured so that every point is covered and revised. Dr Thomas is wonderful and his feedback was unmatched. The mock exam gives you the adrenaline rush so the real exam feels like a cakewalk. I strongly recommend taking this course (and mock exam) before jumping into your real exam. I express my sincerest thanks to the entire team and Dr. Thomas.
DR NAVJOT K. MD
Scored 255 on my USMLE STEP 2 CK, thank you so much!!! I was struggling with my step2ckpreparation before taking Gold USMLE. But the course not only helped me gain all the confidence I needed but also helped me grow in a professional manner. Thanks to Dr. Thomas and his devotion to his students I learned more in his classes than I did in a month studying on my own. I passed my USMLE STEP2CK without a hiccup and what once seemed to be the toughest exam for me became the easiest. I would highly recommend it to anyone taking their exam to take the course as it helps a lot to boost your confidence and you learn things you can never learn out of a book. The intensive training integrates all the material together to help with memory retention and there is individualized feedback and Dr. Thomas analyzes your performance individually as well. He even grades your quizzes each day till you take your exam. I can guarantee no other course or program can offer the individual attention that Gold USMLE does.
-DR CARMEN F. MD
“Scored 258 and I am very happy with my score..At first, I was apprehensive of signing up for a STEP2CK review course, I thought I could handle it on my own. I was asking myself if that was really necessary. The test is expensive enough as it is. I choose that course because the reviews were positive and the course was affordable. It was a great idea signing up for that course! I took that course for 8 weeks and we covered all the material nicely.. . Not sure if I recommend taking that course on such a short notice. The course itself was extremely well organized! Dr. Thomas knows what these testers are actually looking for and gives outstanding advice on how to be successful. Dr. Thomas comes across as quite meticulous at first but he means well and demands discipline. He wants people to pass. Of course, I cannot speak for the other course takers, but I had the impression everyone enjoyed the course. I absolutely recommend taking this course! I personally never regretted it and I found the USMLE STEP2CK exam, which I took 2 days later incredibly easy. I never wrote a review in my life but I think it is worth mentioning for all of you out there that I think my money was well invested. I wish everyone who reads that comment all the best of luck on the test!”
-DR MARCO A. MD
“I received high performance on my USMLE STEP2CK exam with 262. I am honored to have received training through this GoldUSMLE STEP2CK course. The practice exam is very similar to the real deal and I’d say even more intense. You get one on one feedback with Dr Thomas after the practice exam..They discuss exactly what they were looking for and how you could have improved. CK ALGORITHMS AND BEST NEXT STEPS WERE THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED.The course provides plenty of clever ones. Each quiz you do each day is extensively reviewed and graded with very constructive feedback by the instructor himself. Although, the test is getting much more difficult each year, test day felt very smooth because of the plan set out for me by GoldUSMLE.”
-Dr Cina A. MD Turkey
“I passed my step 2 CK exam with 254 I would like to thank Dr Thomas for his great help. I scored into high performance & it would not have been possible if I would not have joined Goldusmle CK course. Dr Thomas who was main contributor is very knowledgeable & he is quick in analyzing student’s weaknesses & then concentrate on them. He has gifted ability to assess questions very quickly will only expect the best from you, hence after taking his classes you will be confident in taking step 2 CK. He has professional & wonderful team who are incredible in assessing level of preparation which is near accurate. I experienced it through mock exam & my performance was exact same as my real exam. I was so confident on my exam day because It did not feel any different than mock exam. I would highly recommend this course to every student whether AMG or IMG, because they provide indispensable knowledge & material to not only pass the exam but to get high performance in Step 2 CK exam. Thank you Dr Thomas for helping me & so many students to achieve their dream scores!”

“Staff was very friendly and nice at GoldUSMLE, review was well organized and structured properly. I scored over 240 on my USMLE step 2 CK exam. Excellent, well thought out and well designed. This is a MUST-HAVE review program for anyone aspiring for USMLE. Being a part of this program was most definitely a breath of fresh air. It was not only the best prep program I have ever attended, but was also incredibly helpful in expanding my intellect. What makes this program so unique and special is its personalized and structured approach, which let me explore my weaknesses and strengthen the same. The instructors were very patient and encouraging throughout, making it an incredible learning experience. Looking forward to coming back for my Step 3 classes.“
-Dr Barbera O., MD
“My biggest problem was understanding the surgical protocol obgyn protocol biostats and psychiatry. GoldUSMLE helped strengthen me in all these components. Dr. Thomas helped me how to tackle questions, time management, and understanding of this whole exam. He guided me through the entire process until the day before my exam. His useful tips got me through my exam day. Her thorough review helped me a lot to recall things during my test. With his help I successfully passed step 2CK.”
-Dr. Lara F., MD
“Much gratitude to the GoldUSMLE review for the help and guidance I received while preparing for Step 2CK. Their Step 2CK online course is simply amazing and I would not have passed my exam without it. I failed the Step 2CK after using First Aid. Those resources were all pretty much the same thing and had no foundation which is something I desperately needed coming from a Caribbean medical school. A friend took the GoldUSMLE and did great with them so I gave it a try as well and I am so thankful to them for all of their advice, help, and amazing course lectures”
-Dr. Manuel P., MD
“Due to the travel restrictions I was unable to come to the Step 2CK course in Atlanta but thankfully they were able to switch me to the Step 2CK online program, it was fantastic. I really felt as if I attended the actual course in person. I took an NBME exam that I took before the first day of class and the score was very low even though I took Kaplan before which was required by my school. I really wish to thank the GoldUSMLE instructor, staff, and materials enough… It’s like comparing apples to oranges to the other review materials I used before. The instructor was the real deal because he’s extremely knowledgeable and he has a way of explaining things in a way that allows you to fully understand the Step 2CK material. The course itself is a very structured environment and they include fun games to make a difficult learning process fun and much easier. After my course my NBME exam score shot up 47 points and I couldn’t be happier. Hopefully I can take the Step CK soon because I now have the confidence and ability to do so thanks to the GoldUSMLE.”
-Dr Marco A., MD
“Thank God for technology. I was scheduled to come to Houston for the Step 2 CK live course but due to the travel restrictions unfortunately I wasn’t able to travel. I knew I had to continue to prepare and knowing myself I had to be in a structured environment which was the reason why I was planning to attend the live class. Thankfully the GoldUSMLE review has set up a live streaming of their class in Houston! It’s an absolute life saver. I just finished my four week course and I am so impressed. It absolutely felt like being in the classroom. I honestly didn’t miss out on anything by not being in Houston. I had to log in every day at a specific time when the class started, I was following all the same materials that the live students did but I the one thing the live student couldn’t do that I did was to attend the course in my pajamas hahaha. This was truly a life saver and I highly recommend it to everyone preparing for the Step 2CK especially those that can’t travel! Thank you and stay safe everyone!”
-Dr Fatima S., MD
“In my opinion, GoldUSMLE is the way to go. Other sources do help with content knowledge and have a lot of books and resources but that’s it. You don’t get the focused, INDIVIDUALIZED, review that is necessary for you to succeed.
GoldUSMLE is a great prep program if you’re interested in a focused and more individualized approach to studying for your USMLE Step exams. I am a detail-oriented individual with a lot of knowledge, however, I did not know how to focus that knowledge on exams. I often choose detailed answers when they are looking for commonly tested topics. GoldUSMLE reviews all the details necessary to be successful on the exam, but They make sure to tell you what you need to know, and for me, they were extremely helpful with test taking skills!!! I improved my score from the original assessment to actual test over 25 points. I also finished blocks with 10-15 minutes left because I was confident in the answers. I picked and moved on. Even on the exam! It was crazy how well I improved and how easy the questions were after opening my eyes to how to take the test. I am forever indebted to them for helping me be successful on my step 2ck as I have graduated Med school and well on my way to securing a residency position!!
At the end of the day if you want content knowledge any program will work, but if you want someone to understand and point out your strengths and weaknesses and work with you to improve those strengths and eliminate weakness GoldUSMLE is the way to go!!”
-Dr Peter S., MD
“The program is well organized, lecture notes are clear and concise, and all the instructors are very knowledgeable about their material. The strength of the program is clearly Dr. Thomas’ personalized approach to each student coupled with a genuine desire to help students reach their maximal potential. He is a very dedicated and caring instructor who was able to create a clear study plan, academic support and help with logistics for test day. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is interested in either step 1 or step 2 preparation. Ive taken both courses and have done well thanks to them”
-Dr. Emilee D., MD
“Thank you so much for all your kind help throughout this experience, it has truly been a pleasure working with GoldUSMLE. Dr. Thomas and staff are excellent instructors who were able to give personalized attention, thus enhancing my learning experience. Both Step 2 CK and CS Live review programs were conducted at a very high level of professionalism. I was able to solidify my medical knowledge and definitely feel more confident going into my exams.
I would highly recommend GoldUSMLE to others looking to prepare for their USMLE Exams.”
-Dr Mark G., MD
“I scored 245 on my USMLE step 2 CK exam and I would like to thank the Goldusmle review program for all of their help. Dr. Thomas was an excellent instructor! Not only did he keep me on track but also gave me the tools and support that I needed to successfully pass Step 2 CK. He has unparalleled work acumen, his strongest attribute is his enthusiasm and commitment to the learning process. I would gladly recommend him to my peers.”
-Dr Henry R.
“ My score went up over 50 points from my NBME and I am glad I decided to take the GoldUSMLE CK course. I found Dr. Thomas’s organized and planned study strategy work best for me. He was very patient with me as English not being my language but his consistent encouragement made it possible for me to overcome my fear of Step 2 CK.. I passed successfully and am now doing a residency in internal medicine.”
-Dr Matthew K.
I used the GOLDUSMLE FOR the 8 weeks course and it was a quick fix for my exam. Step 3 content was excellent to supplement going through practice questions when studying for Step 3, and it really helped me to go through specific topics from start to finish when I got questions on them. It also helped to see additional questions that might pop up with the various topics! The course instructors were extremely dedicated to include the most up to date information on these topics, which helps when trying to decide which resource is most correct when studying.
Dr. Frank G., MD
I don’t think I would have passed my step 3 without Dr Thomas + Dr Tarik’s help in Biostats and high yield review on CCS. He teaches us how to approach MCQ, and do them quicker as well as reviewing all the high yield material.
Dr Thomas and Dr Tarik were very knowledgable and they really cares about ther students passing. I took an 8week live online course 7-12pm and then 5pm-9pm every day. And they I paid for private sessions 2 weeks before my exam to focus on my weaknesses. Thank God for him!
I would highly recommend this course.
Dr. Debbie Ramirez, MD
I took the step 3 course and it helped me understand the general concepts as well as have a broader overall knowledge of step 3. The CCS review for 10 min and 20 min cases were the best. This is the best move I have made while preparing for USMLE. This is a 6 week course but even after the course ends, you can sit in on the classes again to review topics you are having trouble with (I did with a couple of IM topics). The course goes over the principles in a high yield fashion and towards the end of class, there is a review of Step 3 questions.
I highly recommend the course as the instructors are very knowledgeable and will get you through all the relevant information.
Dr. ARNIKKA RUBIA, MD
GOLDUSMLE really helped me excell in my recent step 3 exam. The program really helped me focus on highest yield material and gave me excellent test taking strategies that was utilized on the exam. Tariq the instructor for step 3 goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that students understand the content. He also helped with the CCS cases in that he helped by giving a roadmap to approach all the cases. For someone who is not in the clinical setting currently, Tariq made the ccs cases easy regardless of 10mins or 20 mins cases. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOLD USMLE to anyone studying for USMLE step 3.

PASSED MY STEP 3 exam with a high score, I am very happy with my results and I would like to thank goldusmlereview for helping me get through it, I improved my scores on UW thanks to the goldusmle teaching and tips. They helped me excel and gave me the correct steps for each CCS case 10 min +20 min, it was very effective and much better than other courses. I found the sessions to be very helpful and productive. I was able to finish all the MCQ and CCS cases ahead of time. I strongly recommend goldusmle they saved my career.
DR RAVNEET DHALIWAL, MD
Excellent review course for step 3 overall. Especially for the residents who have limited time for study prep. The course is structured to cover the high yield material and the instructor perfectly reviews the biostatistics, basic sciences, and ccs in as less as 4 weeks. I highly recommend this to anyone who is seeking an interactive rapid review course.
I would like to strongly recommend the GOLDUSMLE 8 weeks STEP 3 program. I would like to thank everyone on the GOLDUSMLE staff for helping me through this step 3 exam. I am very happy with my score. The questions were very long but I got through it and finished each block on time. It is very difficult to wear a n95 mask the whole time, I strongly recommend bringing multiple masks that are very light. the KN95 is lighter and better.
Dr Catherine Ruth, MD
I feel thankful for this course. I did my step 2CS preparation here and later Step 3 review and interview preparation. Step 3 review was very important for me. I was tired to study alone and without motivation. With this course I learned how to pick the best answers and how to think while doing questions and I had productive hours of study. Thank you Gold!
-Dr Gabriela Piazza Sassi, MD
***I highly enjoyed my experience at Goldusmle. Dr. Thomas had fast-paced reviews, and he made sure emphasize the high-yield material. My weaknesses became my strengths and I was able to pass step 1 on my first try right after finishing the course! I highly recommend taking this class!
-DR RUXANDRA ROSCA
***I PASSED STEP 1 WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE on my USMLE step 1 and I would like to thank the hard working staff at GoldUSMLE for helping me achieve my goal. I was overwhelmed studying on my own and I decided to seek the GoldUSMLE STEP1 classes. I was lost on my own and didn’t know what to focus on before I came to the GoldUSMLE STEP1 class, the review pinpointed me onto the specific high yield points I needed to know, and helped me understand the underlying concepts beneath each question. It solidified my knowledge and allowed me to reach my potential, I ended up scoring alot higher than my NBME practice set thanks to the high quality review. The amount of hours the doctor spent with us going over topics was extraordinary and I appreciate his stamina and dedication to his students. I strongly recommend the GoldUSMLE review for USMLE step 1 prep without hesitation. It saved me alot of time in my preparation and I highly recommend the GoldUSMLE Step 1 class.

***My name is Eyerusalem Dingamo an IMG and a mother of two little boys. Being a mom of two little boys and preparing for usmle step 1 with a dedicated study hours was hard for me and I was looking for a good program to join and searched online. By just reading the reviews I joined the 8 weeks online program for USMLE step 1. I am glad i did. Dr. Thomas was the best teacher, he made me feel confident in going through all the questions in detail. I strongly recommend this program for everyone who is preparing for the USMLE exams. I am definitely coming back for step 2 CK. Thank you Dr. Thomas and the Goldusmlereview team.

***It is difficult to put into words just how amazing Dr. Thomas is. I am a chiropractor who works full time (12 hour days, 6 days a week) and on top of that, I am in my late 50s. While those factors may make it seem impossible to do medical schooling, Dr. Thomas went out of his way, using every resource that he had, to make it work for me. He not only gave me his time but something much more important than that, his genuine effort and sincerity.
If I could give Dr. Thomas a hundred stars instead of just 5, I would. This program is perfect for professionals who already have established careers and jobs and cannot pursue an education in the normal and traditional way. For those who may be older in age but not too old enough to dream a new dream and set new ambitions. Whether it was at 10 pm or even sometimes later, he was always accessible to answer questions and help me prepare for exams. Without him and this program, there would have been no way, with my busy schedule and age, to have done what I did. My accomplishments are not only my own but Dr. Thomas’ also.
-Dr Eung Kim
***GOLD usmle review is a great program. I took the 8 week step 1 Live prep course at the Houston center and it was one of the best decision I ever made. After struggling with the step 1 materials, GOLD usmle was definitely the place I needed to be at for the exam preparation and the course helped me gain the confidence I needed in order to take the exam. I gained the much needed knowledge and learned alot about the structure of the exam, the content as well as covering many high yield questions encompassing all the topics. Dr. Thomas is an excellent instructor and taught us how to approach the questions, pick up the key words in the vignettes, which eventually help with choosing the right answer. Our group was small which made it easier for us to concentrate and get clarity from Dr. Thomas on any questions we had. I also passed my step 2 CS with a high performance after taking a 4 day prep course at the Houston center. So I highly recommend GOLD usmle review program to anybody who needs to pass any of the USMLE exams or increase their steps scores. It is definitely the place to be and you will not regret it.
-Dr. Natasha C., MD
***I am a DO student and I was recommended by GoldUSMLE by a classmate who did well with them. Right from the start they were very helpful in guiding me on what courses to take with them and the day to day approach I should take while prepping. I took their 8weeks step 1 course first which was great in helping me solidify the foundation concepts and then finished my prep in their 8 weeks course in Houston which was just fantastic as it was an excellent resource. It helped me focus, and it was fantastic to finally get out and be amongst other similarly situated students. Dr. Tarek and Dr. Thomas were all so amazing to work with. GoldUSMLE is the reason I passed my COMLEX and Step 1 exams and I absolutely recommend them for your prep.
-Dr. Richard H. DO
***Scored High performance on all categories on my USMLE step 1 exam and I would like to thank Dr Thomas. The goldusmle USMLE Step1 review classes were very helpful.

His unique approach to tackling questions was excellent for my step 1 exam as I was able to finish all of my blocks 10 mins ahead of time.

Dr Thomas pressents the course material in a manor that is tailored to medical students need for easy capture of concepts needed for success on test day.
If you are a weak student worried about passing, or a stronger student seeking a higher score, this course will absolutely help you get the highest score possible on USMLE! Whether you’re an American graduate or international graduate, this a great course. I’m sure I will return for Step 2 & 3 services.
A sincere thank you to admin & Dr. Thomas!
***Just as I was about to lose all hope in being able to pass Step 1, I found Gold USMLE and it was the absolute BEST thing that could have happened to me. Words cannot express how grateful I was the moment I found out about Gold USMLE I immediately contacted Dr Thomas, explained my situation & he instantly contacted me, we spoke on the phone one-on-one and just like that he became my mentor. He was so excited to help me: he not only gave me spectacular suggested resources from his website but also gave me advice on how to study and improve based on my unique situation and timeline. The USMLE Step 1 Rapid Review & Test-Taking Strategy Masterclass was absolute perfection, and it significantly improved my Step 1 score. This course covered all the high-yield material (including Pathoma Chapters: 1-4) in such an integrative way, applying active recall while also providing test-taking strategies. Absolute perfection. I only wish I would’ve known about Gold SMLE and Dr. Thomas sooner – even before starting dedicated – because just in the span of a few weeks, thanks to Dr. Thomas, I felt confident in my Step 1 preparation. Thanks to him and the masterclass, I saw significant improvement in my study strategies, test-taking strategies, critical thinking, connecting concepts, overall knowledge, and, most importantly, confidence. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Thomas for helping me achieve a successful passing Step 1 score. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

***I scored high on my step 3 thanks to Goldusmle step 3review sessions. It is the perfect review for students that want to brush up the topics just before their exam. I was able to answer the questions on my real exam with a steady pace, and never had to hesitate for any question in each block. You have to be consistent when it comes down to the timing and GoldUSMLE review helped me develop the CCS skills necessary to do well on the modules, and the MCQ review was fantastic.

***I decided to try GOLDUSMLE step 3 online classes and it was the best choice I made. At Goldusmle, I was able to understand why things worked the way they did instead of memorizing a bunch of random facts. Thanks to Dr. Thomas’ teaching style and the tutors’ 1-on-1 attention, I passed not only Step 3 but also matched into the program that was close to my home ! GoldUSMLE is the reason I continued medical school and became a doctor.

**Please accept my sincere THANKS to Dr. Thomas and the entire GoldUSMLE step 3 team. It really was a wonderful experience for me and was definitely worth it!
I thoroughly enjoyed the online review sessions, they were very convenient especially with this COVID situation.

***Thank you, Dr. Thomas and staff for all your support and help during what was the most challenging and emotionally trying time for me with the COVID 19 pandemic I was forced to stay home, thank god I was able to learn from you guys.. You gave me the courage to continue and tools to know how to do so. I am happy to say I scored higher than my practice tests on my step 3 exam and I look forward to doing the practice residency interview training with you guys.

***Two of my best friends took the USMLE Step 3 at GoldUSMLE online sessions. One has passed and the other is waiting for her results. Every time I have the chance to speak to them they tell me how wonderful the program is. I never considered taking a review until 3 weeks ago. I studied on my own and passed Step 2 Then I started studying for Step 3 but something happened & my world flipped upside down – My mother died. Now I can’t even look at a book and my concentration is completely gone. I feel confident that your program would help me move forward with my study plans and helped me focus despite the tragedy I experienced.
-Dr. Mark S., MD
***I had a lot of things going on in my life that were preventing me from studying well. I couldn’t make any progress. I tried 2 other review courses which turned out to be a waste of time and money. When I heard about GoldUSMLE I was hesitant because I had already spent a fair amount of money. I felt I had few options left and decided to try it because of the small class size and the access to the staff & Dr. Thomas. I was hopeful with the first week and by the second week I had my confidence back. Dr. Thomas’ methodology really clicked for me, and he really nailed it when it came to my hang-ups and the staff was always patient & kind. Long story short, I am now in my first year of residency doing well.
-Dr. Parvathy S., MD
***Thanks to all for reminding me to have confidence in myself. Without Dr. Thomas and his staff, I would not have had the confidence to do well & pass my exam. I will take your influence & powerful concepts with me! Love this program & everyone in it!
-Dr. Daniel S. , MD
***I had such a positive experience at GoldUSMLE. I have wanted for years to see all the information I have been exposed to in my medical education presented in a cohesive way that would allow me to understand it rather than just simply memorize it. The staff was so friendly, and I could not think of a better place or better people to spend several weeks with. Dr. Thomas was easily the best teacher I have had throughout my years in medical training, and thanks to him I now understand core physiological principles that will allow me to reason through problems. Best of all, I am excited about my education now! Thanks so much to GoldUSMLE and all the staff for a stellar program and experience!
