I was referred by a friend who… I was referred by a friend who struggled to pass the NBME until he got help from Dr. Naik. I was skeptical at first but once I joined, I realized how he passed. Dr. Naik’s course provides structure and teaches exactly what you need to know and how to answer in a short period of time. There is no other course out there that is this short in duration, convenient (all year) with all 3 steps in 1 class. Dr. Naik keeps the class entertaining and keeps everyone on their toes. The Test Taking Skills is awesome as it makes you stay up to date with the readings and questions. You develop a confidence that if you can answer these anxiety provoking USMLE questions in front of random people quickly and correctly, you can surely answer them alone. The tutoring is also awesome because it provides extra help in areas that can’t necessarily be taught easily in a class setting like Biostats. I can’t speak for myself because I haven’t taken the exam yet but my friend who passed the NBME, also passed his STEP 2. I am actually about to take his course again because I want to solidify his teachings further before taking my exam. It feels like a lot of money, but I definitely think it is worth every penny. I highly recommend his course!

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 .

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.

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.
