at least with Kaplan they did not guarantee that you will pass
with the Falcon program you go in convinced that you will pass
only to be let down
let me tell you I have taken the test many times and when I did find this forum
'you guys" where the ones that did help me much more
of course there has to be alot of work by the examinee,because anyone taking the exam eihter is at least a second YEAR medical student physician or has already graduated so this is not some small deal that we are doing all
So to all that have failed
KEEP YOUR CHIN UP this is a hard exam and I have seen only ONE 90
with my eyes I saw the result on paper so 99% please send me a writen copy before I belive you
So anyway I know that there are many people you have been ripped off by the falcon program and I want to let the people strugling with the exam that Falcon is a RAW deal

Yeah you know YOU are right I will pass my ECFMG/USMLE exam
I guess I am upset about the whole thing I am sure I will calm down in a few days
and start again you we doctors did not get where we are by quitting
thanks for the words of support
there is one thing though I a have not received any news from any of my firends that took the Falcon program that passed yet so I guess my short rage was triggerd by other student doctors that have NOT passes either
But life goes on
other doors will open...

hey sayulita...i feel really sorry to hear that you dint make it. I think its wrong for any institution to claim that they gaurantee success. But besides that, i have another thought. No live review course comprising of a few weeks can make you learn anything. I understand concise notes can help, review books like firstaid helps but thinking that live review classes and lectures will make you learn something is not true. (except for teachers like goljan and Dr. Fischer but lets face it we dont have many like him). You have spend time thinking over concepts and trying logic, thats the only way to learn. The only one person that can GUARANTEE your success is YOU! Its your own sweat, blood and tears that will take you places and not these review classes.

I am also very sorry that you failed. After the review, I still felt I needed more time to study individually, and honestly try to absorb the information, that was coming at me so fast in the review. Then I came home and took the NMBE and did poorly, got discouraged and a friend told me about this forum. So, I got a copy of the study schedule posted in the forum and modified it to meet my needs, and began studying. I had never listened to Goljen before my review because I didn't know it existed. However, I am aware of individuals who have taken Falcon and passed, right after the review. I knew I couldn't pass after taking the NMBE, so it didn't work like that for me.
But, I have been reading in this forum since October (although I never posted) and got great help and advice to survive and get re-focused. By the way thanks for all the support from everyone here it is good to read post from all of you that are willing to share you innermost feelings and personal life, for the sake of others!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless to all of you who care to share
