Study Smarter,
Score Higher

I was unsure of which program to use to study for my NCLEX, but thankfully I found Bootcamp. Bootcamp’s questions and topics replicated the ones on the actual NCLEX. It really felt as if I was writing another mock exam. Thank you Bootcamp for helping pass the NCLEX in 85 questions!

Bootcamp has been saving my life in anatomy. The videos are concise, informative, well-structured, and overall made well. The quizzes test your knowledge in a great way, and the gross anatomy cadaver images helped a lot when it came to our lab practicals. I like how it is set up so that you can mark questions/concepts that you've mastered or need work on. Physiology concepts are also broken down great. Overall, highly recommend Bootcamp.

The first thing I'll say is that I wish I found Bootcamp sooner! It is fantastic for curriculum supplementation and excellent at adequately preparing you for STEP 1. Not only is the material digestible and well-explained, but the resource is also far more financially accessible than others on the market! I will definitely be using Bootcamp for STEP 2 and couldn't recommend it enough for medical students looking to up their test-prep game. Thank you Bootcamp team!

Before starting to study, I had already heard from my classmates and peers about the accuracy and effectiveness of Bootcamp as a study resource. After using it, I can confidently say that Bootcamp really went above and beyond in preparing me for this exam. The topics and practice questions are very similar to the actual exam. The user interface of the website is easy to navigate and reflective of the actual test. I would recommend using Bootcamp to any dental student planning to take the INBDE.

My life has been changed ever since I discovered Bootcamp. Bootcamp has absolutely phenomenal videos and content that help me tremendously for my school exams. Bootcamp helps me make not only clinical connections but also understand the big picture of concepts by using repetition to jog my memory. Bootcamp has been, by far, the best resource for my medical school journey!

Med School Bootcamp excels in its thorough coverage of challenging subjects, notably path, anatomy and histology, which are often inadequately addressed in similar resources. The variety in their question bank, balancing concise 'bite-sized' questions with more detailed, Step 1-like challenges, significantly enriches my learning experience. It has become my preferred tool for unpacking complex topics and enhancing the efficiency of my study sessions.

Med School Bootcamp has been a game changer these last few months. Not only does it come with a wide variety of Step 1 related content, but it comes with all of Anatomy Bootcamp as well. The cadaver quizzes have been crucial in preparation for my practicals, and Med School Bootcamp makes sure that I am covered.

My experience with Bootcamp has been absolutely amazing! My only regret is truly that I did not use the service at the very beginning. The professors on the videos are phenomenal and have an amazing way of explaining difficult information. Additionally, the histology and anatomy practice questions is another one of my favorite resources. Not all professors provide practice in these areas so it has been incredibly helpful to test my knowledge.

After spending 6 weeks in dedicated and 2 weeks after waiting for my score, I found out I PASSED Step 1! The biggest thing I learned from this whole experience is that you truly know SO MUCH more than you think. Go in confident and just remind yourself that YOU are capable! Here are my stats:

• US DO Student - Took exam 6/13
• UWorld - 55% complete, 56% correct
• UWorld SA1 - 56% (4 weeks out)
• NBME 29 - 69% with 97% chance of passing (3 weeks out)
• NBME 30 - 67% with 96% chance of passing (2 weeks out)
• NBME 31 - 78% with 99% chance of passing (1 week out)
• Free 120 - 80% (3 days out)

The main source I used for content review was Bootcamp, which I LOVED. I had used Boards and Beyond during the school year, and while it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t for me. I’m much more of a visual learner and the images Bootcamp used in conjunction with seeing the instructor in the corner instead of just hearing a voice helped me a TON! It’s also great to hear from different instructors for different subject areas. Not to mention it was also super helpful to have the questions in between lessons to solidify info I had just reviewed. If you’re looking for a refresh from BnB I’d definitely recommend Bootcamp!

I really struggled with immunology and my medical school didn’t have a strong foundation when it came to that so I knew I had to focus a lot of my content review there. Probably one of the best modules within Bootcamp in my opinion - it was so easy to follow and to truly understand. I left the immuno unit feeling like I could nail every immuno question thrown at me, and it definitely showed with my UWorld blocks, NBMEs, and on the real deal. Their cardio and neuro units were also top notch and such great quality.

On top of Bootcamp, I also used Pathoma as my main source of path review - I watched the videos while following along in the book and making annotations. I reviewed Ch 1-3 the weekend before my exam and the night before and I’m glad I did! Dirty medicine was my main source for biochem review. He is the BEST and makes it so easy to follow and understand what you need to know for boards - don’t get caught up in the nuances of the pathways. Focus on the big picture and disease centered biochem. For me, First Aid was used solely as a supplement, for any clarification that I needed on certain topics.

Step 1 is a beast of an exam, there’s no doubt about it. Trust in yourself, focus on strengthening your weaknesses, and you will definitely be in good shape! Rooting for you all!

This program prepared me very well for the type of questions asked on the INBDE exam. The suggested study schedule was very helpful to stay on track and the program allowed me to track my progress easily. I felt very prepared going into my exam and was very confident in the material that I had studied. Bootcamp is very worth the money if you put in the time and study hard while you have it.

When I started medical school, it became clear to me that the study habits I had developed in undergrad were not effective in this new environment. To effectively learn and retain the massive amount of material, I need to employ the strategies of using more than resource and doing active recall after each new topic is introduced. I would not be able to do that without Bootcamp. The short videos are phenomenal for previewing and revisiting the topics covered in my professors lectures and the short quizzes after each video really help me recall what I just watched.

I love the format of Med School Bootcamp! I used to have Boards and Beyond but my school stopped paying for it and it was pretty expensive so I tried Med School Bootcamp and LOVE it! The slides and lectures are reasonable length and the instructors really take the extra step to explain the physiology behind certain concepts. I have found other resources emphasize memorizing facts which has always been challenging for me, when I can see the bigger picture and details behind a topic it’s much more likely I will remember. Also women’s repro has always been a hard topic for me but the instructor makes it super easy to approach! Would definitely recommend if you like the format of lecture with accompanying slides.

I love this website. It simplifies everything so easily. Subjects in medical school are so complex that sometimes I need someone to explain it to me in a rudimentary type of way and the videos do just that. Also, I love how short the videos are each subject matter has its own short video with the necessary points, makes it easier to ingest. Furthermore, the practice questions are the end of each video is a really nice touch.

Bootcamp for INBDE is truly exceptional. I opted for the 3-month subscription, and that was sufficient for me. The partnership between Dr. Ryan’s Mental Dental videos and Bootcamp highly prepares you for the exam. The platform covers the fundamentals of dentistry. There are cheat sheets available for almost every subject and the explanations after each question are very helpful in how to reason through the answer choices. If the same exact questions were not presented on the exam, the concepts were very similar. Practice questions are the number one resource for taking the exam, and Bootcamp does not fall short with over 2,000 questions. Additionally, the Bootcamp team is accessible for help with specific questions. Overall, I highly recommend using Bootcamp materials for the INBDE-- you won’t regret it!

As an MS1, Bootcamp has made understanding lectures 1000x easier and I feel much more prepared to go into my second year and for STEP1. The videos all have a hand-out to follow along with, there are plenty of practice questions, and really good memorization tips. There are really good, high-quality images provided for histology and anatomy, and easy-to-follow diagrams for pathways and pathology. With Bootcamp, I can get a thorough breakdown of all the high-yield information and can understand it easily and efficiently.

The organic chemistry Crash Course was definitely a good investment for me! I struggled on my first ochem practice exams, and I wasn’t sure how to study or review for them. The instructor was easy to follow, and the information was relevant. He answered all of the questions I had about ochem concepts, and he even answered more general questions about the DAT and applications. He taught helpful memory tricks and made the concepts easy to understand. I learned more in the time I spent during the Crash Course than I had all week trying to study on my own. We reviewed so many topics, but it never felt rushed or crammed.

I would recommend Crash Courses to students who want to learn helpful material fast. After the Crash Course, my practice exam scores significantly improved. I went from a 12 on my first ochem practice exam to a 24 on the real DAT! The course gave me the tools to learn the material quickly and remember it for a long time. Without the Crash Course, I probably would have spent much more time studying. I liked the Crash Course because it was quick, understandable, and helpful. It taught me how to learn the material more efficiently.
