Which is better for Step 1? Which videos are better? Any insight would be very helpful.

it does seem like he knows his stuff but can you be so sure that he is not teaching you something that's not so? i'd rather go with a kaplan teacher that i can trust with giving me the info that i know is factually correct. no disrespect implied to the guy in the videos. he SEEMS like he does know his stuff very well + he looks like he likes teaching. we need more guys like that in med schools...

the DIT guy probably does not make any mistakes. he is just reading off the FA, so if you want someone to read the FA for you, DIT is the way to go.

i am biased because of false advertising by DIT. after listening to him for 10 min (immuno), i only noticed that the DIT guy has problems reading off the FA (as others have complained about before dropping his course). if you consider those things that he says as "adding", i strongly recommend that you listen to dr. raymond's lectures (kaplan) and compare the two . i dont consider paraphrasing every 15th sentence as "adding". if dit would be proud of their product, they would put it up for evaluation before buying. just like every other review company does.

dit is 2x shorter than kaplan. webprep goes for $1800 (including lecture notes and q-bank, i believe) and dit for $850. these are its ONLY advantages. ... unless you want someone to read the fa to you in the hope that it sticks to your brain. well, it may work for some, but it does not work for me. it would serve all those unsure about dit better if those lauding dit would post their boards scores AND what other resources they have done right next to advertising for dit. it would help if this is not their ONLY post too (the one i am quoting fulfills this requirement only).

once again, i am biased. i have a tendency to not believe those who misrepresent their credentials. and i believe that dit was made popular on this forum by their claims ofr a ridiculously high average (falsely stating a mean of 236 and median of 240 without mentioning that this is only for those that got back to them with their scores and that averaging this data in statistics AND real world is wrong due to non-respondent bias and equals false advertising) AND by fake accounts that were caught by the moderators that were recommending dit as the all-or-none solution for the boards. 👍

posting or not posting your score means squat here on the online world of nonsense,,,you want free videos not gonna happen he gives you enough to choose yes he does read buttt he adds stuff just like kaplan does so if you want one of these then pick them try reading fa to your friend and see its not easy to do but the way he does it makes you think about the concept to remember it with better kaplan on the other hand tries to teach you a whole course topic in a paragraph which is fine but this is not the way to apply it to a step 1 exam fa is more like it and you need help to absorb it better and thats what you pay him for to do for you no like it? Then go to other programs that charge 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 thousand so simple just bring a checkbook with moolah and no i don t work or get anything free from anyone but i wish i did just posting what i see and experienced since im chilling out at home now from selling a car all day choose ya weapon now@@@@
