Feedback on your performance
At any time you can view your scores and check your performance in any subject category. The website can display detailed information on all questions answered by every user. Using this database the website can show you exactly how you compare with other candidates sitting the exam and how likely you are to pass. You can see where you are on the Normal (Gaussian) distribution curve!
Adaptive learning
Using its detailed analysis database the website selects the order in which questions are selected. The website adapts to your areas of strength and weakness and optimizes your revision.
Learning journal
The learning journal is somewhere to leave notes and comments on the various subjects you have learnt during your revision. This can help you to make links between these topics. By doing this you can recognise your strengths and weaknesses while also identifying your progress. It can also enhance your written and general communication skills within the field of medicine; a skill generally overlooked during your training.
