NEED HELP!!! Falcon Review vs. Kaplan for usmle step 1

[buste003]

Hello everyone,

I have failed the usmle step 1 twice. I want to take a course to help me with my study techniques. I have heard mixed feeling about Falcon. Comments on Falcon? I have heard from friends who took the Kaplan retreat that its really great. Has anyone taken the Kaplan retreat? Lastly, I have heard of Goljin's lectures and i'm curious as to where he gives his review courses. If anyone has information on Goljins courses, please let me know. I appreciate and welcome any advice..Thanks a million.
