From failing scores to a decent pass in step1 alhamdulillah…. Dr taher is very knowledgeable and overall a great tutor/mentor. When studying for step 1 one often feels lost but through his comprehensive approach Dr taher manages to clarify many difficult concepts which helps the students to connect all the dots and build a very strong foundation. Moreover, he provides a plethora of very good mnemonics and high yield rapid fire questions throughout the course which come in handy on exam day. I would say he has mastered the art of teaching step 1, his dedication and commitment is reflected by the success rate of his students. He never shies away from answering questions

Hello Sir , this your student Bala. I wanted to share with you my step 1 score – 232 .

Contact an excellent tutor DrMohammed Taher he will have a rapid course in end June, you will never regret doing that.

Thanks for your lecture Dr Taher Scored 248

If you want to waste 2500$ go with Kaplan. If you want to use that money wisely, I suggest you go with Dr Taher classes. He is worth more than all the ten Kaplan teachers put together.-mot. Whereas one lecturer will talk about only one topic and pass to the next topic. Dr. Taher can integrate all topics at once. Yes. his classes at the beginning are intimidating but they push you to irate with is what Step 1 is at about. o Dr Taher. When he says review your AJWaticLAo it!

Hang in mere and press on!

Thank you so much sir for everything. I don’t think I would have gotten 239 without your help.

Just took my step 1 exam. It was definitely a very tiring and exhausting journey. I started with kaplan, watched all the videos except pathology for which I did pathoma. After that I went through FA along with Rx videos. I went through FA first time along with a partner which took me 1.5 months. Then I started solving uworld. It took a long time to get to a good pace. Somehow I managed to finish within 7 months. Then I went through FA again along with all the notes I took from uworld. Then I took few nbmes and my score was around 210 (nbme 15,16). I started uworld for the second time and finished uworld 2nd pass. After that I started studying FA dedicatedly. But after I took nbme I was not happy with my score (nbme 20/21/22 around 220-225)and I was feeling very lost when I found out about Dr Taher. I wish I had found him earlier. I would have loved to do his whole course. But I did few difficult topics with him and he made them very simple, easy to understand and his mnemonics and drawings are the best! Even though I had studied everything, he taught me how to correlate and study and how to study well. We all give effort but doing it right way matters the most and he taught me how to. Finally I was happy with my nbme score and uwsa scores and I took the exam.

Waleykumassalam doc, prep has gotten a bit slow not sure why. I’m able to keep up with your lectures but slacking off a bit with uw. Not able to finish a block in a day. My goal is to finish off the uw by the end of November
Your lectures are helping a lot in clearing the doubts and making connections, my uw scores have improved a lot..all thanks to your teaching

Hello my friends I would love to write down a review for Dr Mohammad Tahir for helping me achieving my Step 1 225 especially when I was not able to pass the NBME exam I jumped from 186 to 225 just completing his lectures. He is an exceptional instructor and a true mentor. Connecting dots and my concepts got clear easily after attending his lectures. You can expect perfect guidance until the day before the exam. I’d recommend all to not just attend his lectures but also take complete guidance in the timing for NBME and exam which is highly necessary. My aim was 230 to 240 so I am more than satisfied with my performance. My actual prep duration was 4 -Smooths Ask me questions if any. His email is drmohammedtaher@gmail.com

Hi Dr. Taher, apologies just replying to this now. I absolutely love your classes. I am being completely honest with the fact that I’ve never had a teacher like you. You have connected all the dots and linked different concepts together in a comprehensive and cohesive way. I’ve never experienced this kind of teaching all throughout medical school. If I had, stronger than ever before and I am consistently performing well on my question sets (mixed questions on systems/ concepts we have covered) in the range of 70s. I would like to bump that up, there are still some gaps that need to be filled. Hopefully by the time the rapid review ends, I’ll know everything. The only thing is the timings I wish could have been worked out better. I do not prefer the evening class time throughout medical school. If I had, perhaps it would have made a difference to my performance. Starting your course was the best thing I ever did and I always thank my mom since she was the one who found out about you in the first place. You have expunged all my doubts and fears, and instead, instilled confidence in my knowledge. I feel that knowledge base is stronger than ever before and I am were much shorter. Regardless, I have nothing but the highest praise for you, Dr. Taher and I will most definitely be recommending your course to whoever I know. I’ve already mentioned your name to a couple other medical school students ready to take their STEP 1 (and graduates from my program who wish to practice in the United States). Thank you so much, from the very bottom of my heart.

I’ve been trying to convince my friend to join your class.
Really you are a guru in Step 1

Yes. Classes are helping me very much. Earlier I had little Hard time catching up with the topics as you were covering diff system in a single class but I realized it’s actually better this way. You have a God gift. Thanks.

Each your lecture is very helpful
Now I can understand and relate things by myself

The classes helped me so much especially in connecting systems (( this was not the way we were taught in my college)) „ I used to panic every time I did questions and would just stop and go back to reviewing without any test to my knowledge„ but now answering questions with you helped me recall information and min confidence.. and so much especially in connecting systems (( this was not the way we were taught in my college)) „ I used to panic every time I did questions and would just stop and go back to reviewing without any test to my knowledge„ but now answering questions with you helped me recall information and gain confidence„ And you go extra mile to keep us motivated which really helps „ thank you so much

Of course Yes doc it is helping a lot for me Previously I just reading first aid, I don’t know exactly the concepts And I don’t know it’s compulsory to do questions as I’m new to this exam. Before classes I had nothing to say but after classes I’m able to do lots of questions and now I know how to study,what to study. Thanks a lot doc for your support and help.

Yes sir. Thank you so much. I’m happy I signed up for your course instead of the other known courses. I really appreciate all the encouragement.

From me a 5 star review to Doc Mohammad’s course Hitting 241 without his help seems impossible to me. I am not writing down experience, it was almost the same as others shared in here. Adding a note, to stay in touch with him and follow exactly what he says will give you a feeling for exam a cake walk. Mail me if you have questions at neha995508@gmail.com Cheers

Asak Sir I just received my score today
i got 251
alhumdullilah im happy JazakAIIah for all your help and teaching me sir

Sir got my score 240
Thank you so much for your help sir It was impossible without your help

By far, without a doubt, one of the best tutors I have come across. If you want to find out if it really is true, take a course with him and realize, how genuinely, passionately and sincerely Dr. Mohamed teaches his students. He’s extremely passionate at what he does, but beyond sincere and genuine in helping students. You can tell how much effort and hard work he puts while teaching so students succeed. Such a profound and unique method of teaching, extremely beneficial. Half of your work is done at the time of his lecture because everything he teaches, it’s in such a way that it’ll be ingrained in your brain and you’ll remember and visualize.

I just got my score for CK got 260 alhumdullilah
Thank you for all ur support and teaching, I remembered stuff from your step 1 classes, it was very useful for CK too

I began Dr. Taher’s class it is amazing. This is a must. I was beyond worried but he manages to make me feel like there is no challenge too great for me. I have a resolve akin to that of a heavy weight boxer about to knock out my opponent. I have perhaps been his most challenging student yet but he has been very patient. I recommend him if you want to really hone into abilities you thought you never had. I have seen other post of student, who have taken his class and they have been quite pleased and so am I thus far.

Thanks to the person who wrote the original post because it was through him I learnt of Dr Taher when the anxiety of preparation for step I was hard on me.. I am an IMG and had Dr Tahers class from March- May 2017 and it was one of the best decisions I made during my prep… First off,l prepared for almost 9 months but prior to starting the class I didn’t feel confident despite scoring 0k on daily U-world blocks…l have to say the at I am a slow reader and the class really helped me cover through almost a full read of first aid . Close to the end of the class , I started taking my NBMEs …with Nbme 13 scored 247, then about 2 weeks later I took Nbme 18 with a score of 252.However my last two nbme caused me serious panic,within a week to my exam I decide to take nbme 19 and scored 238 which got me worried but I brushed it aside because I heard it always over predicted scores …The one that really got me worried was Nbme 15 which I scored 232 just 3 days to my exam by now I was seriously frightened and tried to shift my exam date but couldn’t see a free date within my eligibility period…

It’s covered, no worries. plus I’ve been learning extremely well from your sessions because puts me on my toes to think about anything at anytime which is so helpful. Just being selfish with my studies like you said. Thank you so much though, two weeks into class, I’m enjoying it a lot. You’re a great teacher! Best I’ve had thus far. Happy new year in advance! See you Tuesday doc.

Hi, I got 243, thank you so much for all your training and all your help and tutoring

Doctor good afternoon. I just finished Form 18 with 720 (273). Did 15 and got (700), now my cardio is a little dragging but above the borderline. what should I do?

Hi Friends This post is for any students who wants to give step 1 and who is struggling to maximize their scores or who is willing to pass. I honestly and with my personal experience would recommend you to join Dr.Mohammed’s classes. You will never regret and he would make your studies more effective more meaningful with his great teaching skills. I am very glad to find him in these forums when i had no hope„,no motivation where to even start and very glad to find him here. I am an old graduate and was lost in preparation and was not confident to take this exam. But with his classes I gained a lot more confidence, knowledge and I am about to take my exam in by the end of this year.

Hello all, I am currently doing Dr.taher’s course.We are now at the end of the course.Before joining his course I wasn’t able to correlate the things and even I was frustrated as I could not recall anything which I read from kaplan notes.Dr.taher’s teaching strategy is different .He will cover high yield topics first and then come to the low yield topics and he has already covered most from the first aid and Uworld .The best thing is that he would ask Question from the previous topics which he has already covered.That’s how one will have repeated revision which is necessary in step 1 preparation.l wish I could join his

Hi Dr Mohammed, the last 3 weeks were the most productive and the biggest improvement I have made since I started preparing for the step, 6 months ago.. I have learnt so much but most importantly I now know what it takes to be successful and how hard work can eventually pay off. Thanks for planting a new seed in each and everyone of us that attended your course… You are an exceptional Instructor. Even after the class has ended, I still remember your words of encouragement and of course your favorite phrase “Any Doubt ? “.

hey doctor hope you are doing fine
I asked you for advice before giving my step
thanks for it
I was able to hit my goal alhumdulillah
hope everything is fine at your end iA

Hi Sir. I would like to inform you that I took Step 1 last month. Just got my results. I got 236. I know its not that good but I am happy with my score. My nbme 19 score was 209, so was not expecting it.
I want to thank you for teaching me. Your classes were very helpful. I learned most of the important concepts from your lectures. Without your guidance I would not have achieved this score. I am very grateful to you. Thank you again for everything.

Amazing course, full of integration which is what the step 1 is all about!! Makes you really THINK and also get good at doing it in a rapid-fire mode which is a must when you are taking a timed mode exam!

I can very well understand your situation as i had the same condition three months back.Then i joined Dr Taher classes.He explains complicated topics in a simple way with continuous revision everyday as rapid fire questions verbally and also by clinical vignette from various Q banks. On top of that his Mnemonics for pharma and other subjects are worth some. I would suggest you to attend his free trial class and see how far am i true.. His contact email address is drmohammedtaher@gmail.com Wish you all the best.

Hello Dr Taher,

“HIGH ACHIEVEMENT ALWAYS TAKES PLACE IN THE FRAMEWORK OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS” I am very much obliged to U World forums and students who shared their own experience and help me navigate this journey.
