Good morning! I woke up feeling liberated—finally free! The past three months were a whirlwind of endless studying and the constant sense of falling behind or not knowing enough. Yerevan is a fantastic city for taking the exam, highly recommend it. The staff were incredibly friendly, fluent in both Russian and English. They were thorough—almost stripped me down! They had me remove my earrings and necklace, checked my pockets, took my fingerprints, and snapped a photo.
When I entered the exam room, there was just one other person; by the time I left, there were about six. Overall, it was fairly comfortable, though the nerves were unavoidable.
On recalls: Dr. Khiadi was spot-on—focus on surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics. Other disciplines had minimal questions. Nothing on hematology or nephrology. There were a couple of ethics questions (straight from our recalls), a bit of cardiology, one ECG film that was clear from the description, and a gynecological smear with some unidentified organisms—possibly trichomonads, but who knows!
The recalls blurred together from the stress, but I remember one: a man fell from a height, conscious but with severe heel pain. I blanked on the English word for “heel” and forgot the answer options. There were two straightforward milestone questions, a lot of obstetrics and gynecology (all unfamiliar), including placental abruption and preterm labor. A couple of psychiatry questions popped up too. Oh, and that infamous meningitis question from the recalls—answers varied between viral and TB depending on the source.
I scored 66%—not stellar, but I passed!
Huge thanks to VOLNA for organizing this project and giving us these opportunities. Gratitude to Dr. Khiadi for the top-notch teaching; we’d never have managed without it. And to Violetta for the companionship, support, and a lovely stroll through Yerevan.
Wishing everyone success on the exam!
I passed the “Beauty Therapist” specialty exam on my first attempt. The exam felt easy thanks to excellent preparation. All the lectures provided concise, essential information, and the practice tests helped me assess my knowledge and understand the question structure. Many thanks to Volna for organizing the course.
I express my gratitude to Volna for an excellent course and the opportunity to prepare alongside colleagues for a significant exam to obtain a medical license in the UAE. Special thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Khadi for engaging lectures, detailed breakdowns of the material, and a captivating presentation style. Thank you to the entire Volna team! You are outstanding!
The company possesses unique expertise and experience in preparing doctors for the exam. No other country or medical exam has such a supportive group. You simply need to trust the process and dive in. It may feel daunting at first, but after a couple of months of preparation, you’ll be at the top of your game. And once you pass the exam, you’ll feel unstoppable.
Special thanks to Dr. Khadi. No one has ever drilled medicine into me like this. You can reread Bulgakov and discover new details, or you can re-listen to these lectures and find new “Easter eggs” each time—ones that prove incredibly helpful later.
Immense gratitude to the founder, Ksenia. Compared to other countries, this preparation is truly focused on results.
But the exam is only part of it. The real hero of the company is Alexander, who assists everyone with document translation.
Wishing everyone the courage to take their next step, so that every subsequent management becomes appropriate!
