"The PASS Program has maintained a greater than 93% success rate. And more than 80% of our students score above the score of 200."

i am wondering how they got those numbers? Did they actually contact you asking if you passed or not?

most ppl who have gone down there have usually taken it once, so then they take it after pass and most do get over 200, i did! dothey contact us, no, but ppl write back to them so their 'stats' persay must come form those tat just contact them back after they get their scores.. that's all i can think of!

to each their own friend, no program is ever any guarantee, i mean before kaplan, wat did everyone do, that's why they got so big rite? i mean kaplan doesnt work fo rall of us, i am one example (for step 1, step 2 i found their stuff beyond benficial) and i needed to find another way to get that info down, i did do ck first and that helped me out some,b ut still some basic cncepts from step 1 are just hard to grasp sometimes for some people... dont worry about the numbers ppl say or dont say for their courses.. no one thought junk about falcon, but now that dr. goljan is there, eveyrone thinks it's chagned so much? i doubt it.. papi probably threw out thier patho section like he did when he taught at kaplan.. but that doesnt mean the rest of the course is any better rite?? something to think about.. do wat's best for u friend.. and u will succeed! good luck! nod

i dont think so, but if u talk to dr. francis directly, usually he will try to accomodate best, he knows it's expensive as well.. but again it's a business like kaplan! best of luck buddy!!
