Your workshop really helped. I failed the written boards the first time by a couple of points. This time I got 30 points higher (and of course I passed). I honestly don't believe I had more fundamental knowledge (I felt I was prepared the first time), but I felt more in control using your test taking skills strategies. It took me longer to finish the exam, but I was calmer and felt like I answered the questions more efficiently.

"Dr. Das, sorry to call you at your practice -- I told your secretary not to interrupt if you were with a patient, but when I told her I passed my (written ABOG) boards, she insisted on getting you. I so passed my test this time. Last year I got a 90 (out of 180 = 50%), but this year I got a 160 (out of 200 = 80%). You were so right on about what to expect. I think the guy next to me was annoyed because I would burst out laughing with each question that was a no brainer -- and there were plenty this time, thanks to you and your excellent faculty. See you next year for the orals." -- B.D., 2007

"Dr. Das, I can't believe you called me first for my results, but then again, of course you would, since you've been with me all the way. I passed my written boards FINALLY on the SIXTH attempt!!! I was in deep despair when I called for your help after failing for the fifth time. I had been to all those review courses with their money back guarantee; they lost their money, and I lost my dignity. You were candid and acknowledged the chances of passing the sixth time were slim. Unlike anyone else however, you sought to find out why I was repetitively failing. You referred me to (education specialist) Martin Jolly and I underwent extensive testing. You then helped me develop a study plan and made sure I stuck with it and proved I was practicing my new test taking skills. You even helped find a study buddy in my area. Your review course helped me further hone in on key test topics. Not only did I pass this time, but I nailed that puppy with a score of 71%. I am forever grateful." -- VB 7/07

"Unfortunately, I am repeating my written boards. So I can tell you from one who knows that your written test question bank virtually duplicates the exam in that it is computerized and the format of the questions are very similar to the boards. The interpretation summary and narrative explanations of the answers were enormously helpful. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was actually fun." -- 2008

"Dear Dr.Das, I just got a call from my husband, who is yelling on the phone that I passed the (ABOG 2008 written board) exam now on my seventh attempt.
I am kind of numb at the moment, and can not jump up and down because I am still seeing patients. I just don't know how to thank you because words are not enough. I realized I am my worst enemy, all my knowledge is in my head and I just made it impossible to pass this exam.
I have been retaking this exam since 2001 and scoring 10-20 points away from passing each year. I have spent thousands of dollars on review classes, which were useless. You, ABC, and Martin Jolley were the first and only ones to work one-on-one with me. Your system really does work. Please guide me, because I am ready to prepare finally for my orals. Again, thank you and God bless you." -- SB, 7/08

"Dear Dr. Das, I was referred to you by several friends who have had to retake their written exam and passed after working with you. This is my 6th time to fail. I try studying on-line, at work, at home, and take a review course every year. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have to pass this exam or I will lose my job. You are my last hope." SB -- 11/07

"I took the written exam (ABOG) for the second time and passed! I think your course made all the difference. I scored a 150 (out of 200 = 75%), which was an enormous improvement from my first test score of 104 (out of 180 = 58%). Thank you for an excellent course. I'll be back for my orals." -- N.T., 2007

"It took me 7 years to pass the awful written board. Today I found out I passed my oral boards on my first attempt. Thank you for all of your support and help with us foreigners and weak test takers, with positive feedback, positive support and constant reinforcement; thank you for believing in us when we are the first not able to do it!!! I can finally look ahead of me, relieved of all the pressure (HMO, ACOG, ABOG, Malpractice insurance, Hospitals and lawyers)! My family can finally enjoy a more normal father and husband! Thanks, thanks, thanks!" - RL December 09

"I reached out to ABC after having failed my written boards for the 4th time. Dr. Das worked with me for 6 months. Your program helped me gain a new sense of faith and perserverence. I poured my heart and efforts into "the system” and it paid off...I PASSED! " AB, June 2009

"I finally passed. I have been taking the (ABOG ) written boards since 2001, so it took me 8 attempts. I had difficulty with USMLE Step 3 and always scored low on the CREOGs. I took the review course in 2007, but still failed. I contacted Dr. Das in October 2007. She told me my chances to pass were poor, but was the only one who would help me figure out what to do differently. I was evaluated by Martin Jolley and began implementing his system. I met a colleague from my area at the workshop, so Dr. Das helped us create a study plan. We reported to her monthly. It has been such a long and hard journey. Thank you for not giving up on me. I am forever grateful. -- RM 2008
