Dear Dr. Swartz and Anna:

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help you gave me. Last Wednesday I received my passing grade and I can’t be more thankful to you.

I took the CS three times. The first time I study intensely. Read one book and practiced with a friend. I failed both ICE and CIS.  The second time I read more books and took a small two days New York review course.  Failed ICE (DATA GATHERING!!!! ).  The third time, I took your course before the exam. I was a little skeptical about your, may I say, “non-traditional system”.  At the end of the three day course, I showed you my last CS performance profile and you told me “your data gathering should go all the way up”.   I took the Step 2CS 3 weeks later.

I followed you system to the letter.  This time, my performance during the exam day was different, more fluently, less robotic, more PATIENT directed and less about me.  My data gathering got the highest performance this time.

Anna Lank and Dr. Swartz, you are are the greatest, and I would like to extend my gratitude to you both and to everyone who is part of the C3NY team.

Thank you.

Dear Dr. Swartz:

It has been almost 7 months since I participated in your workshop at C3NY.  I apologize for not keeping my promise to you in a timely manner, but with the excitement of the exam and the anguish of the wait, I forgot all about our collective agreement. 

It is with great pleasure that I inform you that we succeeded in obtaining a common goal.  I passed!

The time I spent at C3NY is definitely the best investment I've made on any kind of test preparation. The memories of what we learned on the 19th floor will be with me forever.  I sincerely hope everyone else has shared their joy as I am today.

I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me.  You gave me exactly what I needed to continue the path to practicing medicine in the country I now call my own.

Best regards to Ms. Lank and all the SP's that helped make this a reality.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Sincerely,

Hi Anna,

I PASSED STEP 2-CS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out yesterday, and I am thrilled.  I found the exam to be easier than what I expected.  The cases and actors were pretty straight forward.  It was not as stressful as I had anticipated.  I actually kind of enjoyed it.
 
Your course was excellent.  And I will tell you, it gave me the tools and perspective I needed to pass.  I thank you and Dr. Swartz for your excellent work and advice.  Continue with great work.

Best of luck to both of you.
