    Knowing it and answering it are different skills

    Practicing with new NBME-style questions helps you apply what you’ve learned. But in most courses, you don’t see the actual exam until test day.

    An exam might describe a patient you’ve never seen before and ask you to work out what’s happening.

    An NBME-style vignette about a 7-year-old with cola-colored urine after impetigo, asking for the electron microscopy finding, with five answer options

    Every option explained

    The explanation names the correct answer, then why each wrong option is wrong.

    The slide it came from is on every question, so you know exactly where the information is.

    The explanation’s “Why the other options are wrong” list, one reason for each wrong option

    Only what your course expects you to know

    Question banks are good, but they’re built for everyone.

    These questions come from your medical school lecture, focused on what’s most likely to show up on your exam.

    How it works

    Upload one lecture as a PDF or PowerPoint.

    The system is three simple steps you do for every one of your lectures:

    • Understand the why behind the information: the Story
    • Memorize with active recall: the Anki deck
    • Apply it to real exam questions: the practice exam
    The upload page tailored for Medicine, with a lecture PDF dropped in and the Exam selected
