What Students Say
"275: Dream STEP Score"
Med Student
True Blue - St Georges University School of Medicine
Picmonic's visual mnemonic approach has been a huge part of my learning. I just took my first simulation exam and I scored a 275 (99% percentile) and it’s definitely because of Picmonic's online learning system. Picmonic is the study tool for the students who want to excel because they were the ones who knew that extra small detail that changed their score from a 239 to a 245 or a 249 to 255….because one extra correct question on the actual USMLE can mean a few extra points.
“Best Review Resource”
Med Student
True Blue - St Georges University School of Medicine
Picmonic’s short online videos are what set them apart from other medical school study-aid resources. When I need to cover a lot of ground, and gain those little extra bits of knowledge just before an exam, Picmonic is my go-to. On several occasions, it wasn’t the countless hours of review in front of a textbook, lecture slides, or whiteboard, that helped me recall an answer to a question, but a Picmonic flashcard that literally only took 2 minutes to review.
“Helps Recall Under Pressure”
Med Student
American University of Barbados School of Medicine
I love Picmonic first of all, because of the relevance and accuracy of the videos. There was this one time that I had seen a couple of videos on renal physiology (which btw are amazing) just before my class and my professor took a surprise quiz just to know if we had any prior knowledge. Not only did I do well on it, he even remembered my name by the end of the lecture. So many times those funny Picmonic mnemonic images that stayed in my head and helped me answer questions under pressure.
