One semester does not make the entire four years "a prolonged board prep class."
You have what -7 posts? I've been here a bit longer- and subsequently know more about these schools. SGU, AUC, Saba and Ross could rival some U.S schools- 5th semester or not.

5th semester
The 5th semester is really done in the summer and is enhancement (like board review, clinical skills etc) US medical students sit by the pool during the summer instead of attending classes. However, if the US medical student fails a course in the second year, then they get to find a summer school at another medical school to make it up. Certain medical schools will have a make-up class in the summer for those that failed and people come from many different medical schools to get credit. Saw it done in biochem and a couple of other classes. If they fail the USMLE, they get to sit out and attend a board review class in order to re-take the USMLE. Of course this is done in many US medical schools - but not all. Saw people at UAMS in of all places Arkansas have to do this.
When the USMLE Step 1 was given for the first time at UAMS they had around a 25% fail rate on the first year. UAMS freaked out and did something about it. USMLE replaced the FLEX. This was so concerning that it hit the newspapers. UAMS offers a board review class for people taking USMLE Step 1 and 2 and encourages students to attend in the summer between Med 1 and Med 2. Chairman (LINK) College of Medicine USMLE Step 1 Review Spring AAMC: Summers list of schools with make-up classes But some FMG's cannot get a license in AR even though they never repeated a class or failed Step 1.Summer Makeup Course Program Listing of US Medical Schools This all make perfect sense to me??????
