Here are some of their stories.

TrueLearn was an extremely valuable tool that I used yearly during my residency. The questions are very similar in structure to the real exam, sometimes almost word for word.

TrueLearn General Surgery was a great adjunct to reviewing for the ABSITE. The questions were extremely similar in format to the actual exam questions. I would absolutely use TrueLearn General Surgery again and will be recommending it to the other residents.

The questions were terrific and very accurate representations of what the questions on COMLEX were like. My COMLEX score was exactly what I had hoped it would be and I thank COMBANK for that!

TrueLearn was a great way to prep for my in-service exam! I felt very prepared and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good way to study for the exam.

TrueLearn was a fantastic resource for the ABA Basic Exam. It was one of the few Q-Banks specifically designed for the new Basic Exam, and I couldn't ask for a better test-prep tool. The questions were very well designed, the interface was easy to use, and the explanations were fantastic.

I discovered TrueLearn in my last year of residency, and wish it had existed throughout. The content is current, accurate, and reflects the most up-to-date examination format. The interface resembles the actual examination nearly identically, and the content is amazingly on par with real test questions.

As chief resident, having used TrueLearn Anesthesiology for the previous 3 years, I am a big advocate for it's use in board preparation. The questions have always been high quality, and the quantity has more than doubled since I began using the program 3 years ago.
