What They Say about us

sandhya soni

Step 2 CK Candidate

The step 2 CK course was just awesome, those who finish with step 1 know that after completing with step 1 exam you are freaking out from where to start for step 2 CK. Simply starting with U-World is not the best option because I was not confident enough to tackle with step 2 format of questions.

Deepti Reddy

Step 1 Candidate

The extensive 4 month online Step 1 course by Dr Taher was very helpful to boost my second nbme score. I hope to take crash course and take next nbme. But so far it's the best experience I had.

The interactive sessions and weekly tests kept me accountable. I saw a steady improvement in my test scores after every review.

Stepexcel helped me restart and finally Pass Step-1
My name is Dr Harshita Singh. I am an old IMG mom. I graduated in 2014. I started my preparation very long ago but I had given up on my USMLE journey 4 years ago after struggling with low scores although I tried multiple resources. Five months later, I took NBME and scored 67%. Then I joined his crash course, and in the last 2 months my NBME scores rose and range between 74% - 81%.

I was struggling with time management before joining this course. The schedule and weekly tracking system helped me stay consistent and improve steadily.I recently completed the USMLE course with Dr. Taher, and I'm extremely satisfied with the results. Before joining the course, I felt lost and unsure about how to study, what to focus on, and which high-yield points to prioritize.

Sunil mehta

Medical Graduate, Step 2 CK

Before joining StepExcel Boards Academy, I was stuck in a frustrating loop. I had been preparing for Step 1 for nearly 8 months, using resources like UWorld, First Aid, and Boards & Beyond. But despite the time invested, I wasn’t making real progress. I lacked structure, and honestly, the slide-based lectures bored me

Step 1 Candidate

Each session was power-packed with high-yield content and insights that you just can’t find in textbooks. This course truly made all the difference.

Sabahat iftikhar

USMLE Step 2 CK Student

I’m an international medical graduate with a 7-year gap since graduation, and when I began preparing for Step 1, I was completely overwhelmed by the volume, depth, and complexity of the material. My foundational knowledge was poor, and although I had some familiarity with system-based content, I lacked the core understanding of concepts that tie everything together—especially in high-yield areas like cardiovascular and renal physiology.

Bhavani Pen

IMG, Step 1 Candidate

I had the pleasure of attending Dr Taher's classes for USMLE Step 1 preparation, and I couldn't be more impressed with his teaching style and expertise. Dr Taher's ability to break down complex topics into easily understandable concepts made a significant difference in my understanding of the material. His classes were engaging, interactive, and well-structured, creating a collaborative learning environment where we could all benefit from each other's insights and questions

Dr. Taher’s course was literally a game changer! It solidified almost every concept I was struggling with. Without him and God this journey would’ve had a different outcome. But it’s not only Dr. Taher’s knowledge that helped, but also his was of teaching and how he motivates his students. Definitely 100% recommend his course.
