TESTIMONIALS

What do customers say about Med-Challenger SPEX?

Here are customer testimonials about Med-Challenger SPEX.

“Just wanted to inform you that I sat the SPEX exam and passed with a grade of 86. This was better than I expected from only 2 weeks of review and greatly because of your course. Thank you and great product!”

Physician Godefroy Hardy St-Pierre, MD FRCSC

“I tried a Spex book, but it was worthless to me. Very small and not much information. The Med-Challenger SPEX course was extremely thorough. I worked through the whole thing three times in a row and then took about 20 exam simulations. When I had passed five in a row, as I think they suggest, I knew I was ready.  Aced the exam.”

Physician Scott E Gilbert MD, JD
