Some topics in kaplan videos are just read from slides but still over all Its a good studying aid.
Dr. Najeeb videos are much explanatory. I will personally recommend its neuroanatomy and pharmacology part.
Does anyone have this broken down by section. I have some Kaplan teachers that I really like for certain sections, but i find others are HORRIBLE. I am looking to supplement the good kaplan lectures with another company to have a complete, good, set of lectures.
Najeeb is good for explanations, but I don't feel he has a good grasp of what are highlighted on the boards.
The only Pass videos i've seen are older videos (early 2000's?) and as good as he seems, they are a bit random and all over the place.
i have just started using kaplan.....ther r really good but deficient in some topics... dr.najeeb videos r best...but plz i request to all my respected senior cooleagues plz post some good & complete set of videos which can fulfill our requirements of each subject... perhaps every junior & personally i ll b very thankful to all of u...Happy-2
hey according to the poll, kaplan videos are the most recommended one,however going through some of the posts i am kind of confused. could anyone please recommend subject wise ,which video series is the best ?
shall appreciate the guidance

1132 High Yeild Topics for USMLE
I recently passed my step 1 and I wanted to thank everyone for the great info! I attended a decent school in the Caribbean and used the mandatory Kaplan review course to prep for step 1. I took the advice of my friends and this forum and took a few nbme exams after I was done with the Kaplan course. I was not passing my nbmes and I needed more help because the best score I had was a 169 :scared:!!! I read the reviews about the success academy and my good friend had taken their online class in the past so I decided to sign up for their online and live classes. It took me 8 weeks to complete both courses and I was also using Uworld. My nbme scores went up a lot and I was able to pass my step with a score of 237. Thank you success academy for your help!! P.S. Bring your own coffee if you take the live course!)
