Help us Schedule a Webinar for International Students
181 month ago
Most of our webinars are scheduled with Dr. Le’s schedule in mind. That means that the majority of our webinars are scheduled during the evening hours, eastern time, here in the U.S. But, that schedule means that many of our international followers don’t get to attend (they’re getting some much-needed sleep).
We want to schedule a webinar specifically for international students, but we need to know what time is best for you.
Post your location in the comments below. We’ll tally the locations and schedule a webinar that’s convenient for the greatest number of people.
Tell your friends, too. If we get a lot of interest, then we’ll be able to schedule webinars for international students more often.
Thanks for your help!

- “I used USMLE-Rx and thought it was incredible… I scored 99 on the exam, which I largely attribute to the First Aid book and USMLE-Rx. Keep up the good work!!”
- “Wow… USMLE-Rx is badass… USMLE-Rx was challenging and required secondary and tertiary analysis (2-step or 3-step thinking)… this is more representative of what the real test is like.”
- “I own Kaplan Qbank as well and completed most of it… but I heard so many good things about USMLE-Rx that I just bought this and I love it! The explanations you provide are awesome compared to Kaplan Qbank.”
