Getting Started
After purchasing your review, you will be emailed instructions to create your online account. This login will give you access to the video lectures, workbooks, question bank, and other supplemental reading materials.
Using the Course
All of our online reviews are broken down subject by subject into modules to help you work your way through the material in a manageable fashion. Each module has a specific set of objectives to complete. Modules can be completed in any order, and while most students follow the order set by our advisors, some students find it best to target their most troublesome areas first.
Module Breakdown
Each learning module covers a specific topic or set or topics relevant to your board exam and is broken down into parts.
- Video Lectures + Workbook: The first part of each module lists the specific video lectures to be watched and their accompanying workbook pages. Workbooks are designed fill-in-the-blank style and directly follow-along the lectures to keep you engaged.
- Question Bank: Next you will be told which questions in the bank to practice after finishing the videos. You can complete all the questions per topic at this time or save them for later and use them to review your progress.
- Optional Reading: You will also be given the pages of supplemental reading materials if you need a more in-depth review of the topics.
- Post-Test: Finally you will be given a post-test to determine if you are ready to proceed to the next module.
Using the Question Bank
Creating Question Sets. When reviewing for your exam, questions can be loaded randomly, organized by topic, or searched by keyword. The simplest way to progress through all the questions is to load them randomly until no new questions remain. If time is an issue you may target specific areas of difficulty first and continue with random questions afterwards.
Saving Question Sets. All completed sets are automatically saved minute by minute and can be reviewed later. Any uncompleted sets can be manually saved as well to be completed at a later time.
Loading Saved Question Sets. All question set progress is auto-saved every minute, and are available to reload at any time.
Reviewing Your Performance. Every time you complete a question set you will be given a performance analytics specific to that set. At this point you can go back and review all the explanations for each question in the set as well. Also, at any time you may review your cumulative question bank performance.
Online Access Info
- After your purchase you will receive an email with your login instructions for accessing the online content
- Videos are recorded in HD and can be viewed on any device with a modern web browser, including PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones, and other tablets and mobile devices as well
- The question bank can be used on any device with a modern web browser, but we recommend using something with a larger screen size
- All of our online content comes with unlimited access for the duration, meaning you can progress at your own pace or redo old material if time permits
Further Advice
Don’t wait too long. Make sure to leave enough time before your exam to get through all the material—waiting until the final month is a mistake. Most students take 4-8 weeks to finish our online course alongside their school curriculum.
Take an NBME-CBSSA Self Assessment exam prior to starting your review. This will map out your strengths and weaknesses and also allow our advisors to help you customize your study plan for your needs.
Practice, practice, and then practice some more. Our question banks provide you with access to over 1800 practice items, but if you are finding yourself still struggling on specific topics you should look into using additional question banks as well. Contact one of our advisors if you need more information.
Every student is different. Don’t worry. Our advisors are here to help and will assist you to make sure you properly plan for your exam.
Our courses are loaded with fun and memorable mnemonics!
I am amazed about how much I learned with the NMR – USMLE course. Getting to understand not only the underlying subjects per se (Biochem, Pathophys, Pharm…) but being able to relate and tie the bonds between them, as well as applying them appropriately in simulated questions is indeed what a prep course is all about. And this program definitely delivered it all and more. The course was great and demands gratitude and bravo to Dr. Eftekar. He is not only a great teacher but one who shares the passion to pass on knowledge.
I hope many can benefit from his gift.
Besten Dank und alles Gute für Sie, Dr. Eftekar
Dear Northwestern,
I just took my first step!
I am sure that I’ve done well on it. Please extend my sincere thanks to professor Eftekar for his outstanding teaching abilities and unforgettable USMLE stories, and to Dr. Thomas Brown for his wonderful “Secrets Book”. These two men are truly living legends of the boards prep industry, and I was blessed to re-learn medicine with them. I just don’t know what else to say to express my deepest satisfaction. Thank you so much.
