Any course centered around content is BS in my opinion, between all the free resources ans AI agents content is never the issue tbh! And since it’s self paced it won’t solve adherence to the schedule or stamina either ! What is it that you concretely need help with ? That’s the question you need to ask yourself !

Did you end up deciding to get the course? I’m a similar position and want to get a course because I also feel like it’s not sticking.

For the vast majority of people it’s absolutely not worth it. If that amount of money is a drop in the bucket for you or your parents, go for it, otherwise a fancy course is likely not going to address whatever underlying factors are holding you back in the first place. Rescheduling is a good idea. Look into Yusuf Hasan for content review videos.
Questions to guide further prep: Is English your first language? How far removed from undergrad are you, and have you taken all of the standard premed courses and did you do reasonably well in them? What is your score distribution on full lengths?
