Archer launches PayPerView for USMLE Step 3 audio/video lectures

Posted on June 21, 2009 by Archer USMLE Reviews

Archer Review releases Pay-Per-View option for those who missed out on their live reviews
Pay-Per-View enables you to watch the streaming video lectures for USMLE step 3 at your own convenience. These recordings are similar to the live webinar review in that you can see the powerpoint presentation running on your desktop screen while you also listen to the instructor’s audio.

Archer Review answers some of the frequently asked questions regarding Pay-Per-View
Please see below

What is Pay-Per-View?
Pay-Per-View system allows you to access the streaming video lectures online at your convenience and watch them at your home on your own desktop. You may purchase the full length course or topic-wise access.

Can I watch a Demo?
Yes! Contact us

What lectures for USMLE Step 3 do you currently offer via. Pay-Per-View?

The lectures that are currently available via. Pay-Per-View areA. Archer Full length ( 36 hours) USMLE Step 3 Review Course. B. Archer USMLE 3 Topic-Wise Lectures ( Hematology, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology/Acid-base/Electrolytes, Pulmonology/Ventilators, Infectious diseases, Endocrinology, Neurology, Ethics, Rheumatology/ orthopedics/ sports medicine, Oncology, Preventive medicine, Psychiatry, Gynecology, Pediatrics and Dermatology )C. Lectures for USMLE Step2 CK will be available very soon.

What are these Video Lectures? Are they similar to your live reviews?

These streaming video lectures are the recordings of our live webinar sessions. These are exactly similar to our live review in that you can see both the powerpoint presentation ( a capture of the instructor’s desktop screen) as well as listen to the audio in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation. This eliminates the need for looking at a hand out or notes while listening to the lecture as you can directly see the powerpoint running on your screen.

Are we provided with any hand-outs or lecture notes?

Yes, you will be provided with relevant Archer USMLE Step 3 notes by e-mail once you purchase the streaming video for a particular topic or for the entire review.

Is Pay-Per-View more expensive than live review?

At this time, the cost of live review as well as Pay-Per-View is similar.What are the benefits of Pay-Per-View over the Live review?Live review needs to be attended at a designated time. Pay-per-view can be watched at your convenience. In Pay-Per-View, you can pause and listen to a particular portion again. You can also listen to the same lecture almost one and half times with the “watch time” that we currently provide.

What are the limitations of Pay-Per-View when compared to Live Review?

During the live review, you can directly ask questions and talk with the instructor. There is no such possibility via. Pay-Per-View. However, you may send us questions by e-mail and our instructor will try and answer them in about 3 days.

What is “Watch Time”?

Watch time is the amount time you are provided to watch the lecture. You are approximately provided with a watch time that is 50% greater than the length of the review. This allows to rewind and replay certain portions of the lecture if you wish. Watch time will not expire when you exit the lecture. Any unused watch time will be stored in your account and you can use it on an other day. When you resume the lecture, make sure to forward the player to the point where you left off. You can also replay the previous session as long as you have sufficient watch time in your accountFor each lecture, you will be provided with the duration of the lecture and the “Watch time” when you begin.

Do I need any special system requirements to play these?

These are WMV files and will play with any Windows Media Player.

How about the Internet connection requirements?Dial-Up connections are ok but broad band connection is preferred for uninterrupted access.

If interested, please visit Pay-Per-View to sign up!
