Students who have been looking for help for the approaching USMLE should know that Varsity Tutors can enroll you in an online Los Angeles USMLE prep course or connect you with a private instructor who can help you study for the upcoming exam. Graduate school students or those in postgraduate training for medical professions will be taking the test. Your performance on the USMLE will be used to evaluate your medical skills and will include concepts that you have studied during your time at schools such as the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Extra study time can help to refresh your knowledge of material covered during your graduate or postgraduate studies. Whether you select to enlist the aid of a private Los Angeles USMLE tutor or choose to take the online course, your review will be guided by an instructor with a thorough understanding of the exam.
What material will be covered during Los Angeles USMLE prep?
There are 3 Steps to the United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE), which are administered as three separate tests to be taken at certain levels of your academic studies. Step 1 will require you to showcase your proficiency with foundational scientific concepts by asking 280 multiple choice questions. Step 2 is used to evaluate clinical knowledge and skills. The Clinical Knowledge portion has 360 multiple choice questions. The Clinical Skills section presents you with 12 patient cases that require you to talk to patients and record notes. Step 3 includes around 400 multiple choice questions as well as 13 computer simulations that will test your ability to handle different medical cases and situations. The three Steps will include questions about topics such as the immune system, the respiratory system, and multisystem processes and disorders. The subjects you encounter will depend on the exam you are taking.
In addition to reviewing the relevant material for the exam, Los Angeles USMLE prep can also help you get a better sense of the test format. Your Los Angeles USMLE prep instructor can give you tips for answering multiple choice questions smartly and efficiently. Your mentor can also employ exercises to enhance your communication skills for the patient cases in Step 2. For students taking Step 3, your instructor can give you time to practice similar computer simulations.
What are the benefits of the two types of USMLE prep?
The two types of prep you can take advantage of are online courses and private tutoring. Which one you choose can depend on your learning preferences, but whichever option you select, you can rest assured that your test review will be led by an instructor who knows the ins and outs of the USMLE. The following are some of the advantages of each choice.
An online Los Angeles USMLE prep class might be the best option for students who prefer a collaborative study format. At the beginning of each session, you will sign in to the Live Learning Platform, which features a live video chat as well as an online whiteboard. In many ways, the platform feels like a real classroom in which you can communicate directly with your instructor and classmates. Face-to-face interaction can be a great way to retain important information for your exam. You also have the opportunity to ask your instructor for a one-on-one meeting to address any specific issues you're having with the material.
The other option available is private study guided by a Los Angeles USMLE tutor. Being the sole focus of your instructor can help you to make the most out of each session. Your USMLE mentor can create a lesson plan according to your strengths and weaknesses, dedicating more time to concepts that you find challenging. For example, you might find yourself struggling to understand how the lymphoreticular system works. In that case, your instructor can set aside extra time to study that topic. Your instructor can also customize your lessons to reflect your learning style, maybe even using visual aids if it aligns with your preferences.

Antonio: Los Angeles USMLE test prep instructor
I like to be creative and adapt to the learning style of a student. My goal is to make learning fun and never feel like a chore.... Adapt to what kind of learning the student best responds to; that way learning is fun and easy going, and never frustrating.... Get to know each other a bit, in order to know how to approach each topic the best way possible.... I think making different suggestions on how I taught myself, the material could bring some insight to someone in how to go about understanding the topic.
