Faculty build practice exams from the original SI MedEd item bank — now including the full 300-item Step 1 pilot bank across eight topics — students take them (timed or untimed), and the platform produces full exam statistics and item analysis — difficulty, discrimination, distractor performance, most-missed rankings. Everything here is original work; no commercial question banks, no proprietary content.

Unofficial, independent tool. Not affiliated with the AAMC, NBME, USMLE, LCME, or NRMP. Demo data shown is simulated for illustration. Analytics flags are review signals for faculty judgment — items are never auto-deleted or auto-revised by the system.
The 12-question demo is always free, and you get one free 40-question practice exam — no account needed. Create a free account to unlock the full Step 1 and Step 2 banks, save your own questions, track progress, and join faculty exams with an access code.

Clerkship-phase shelf prep, built from the verified Step 2 CK discipline pool. Every clerkship gets its full item pool as an untimed study bank, plus a timed shelf-style practice block (unofficial) — 50 items in 75 minutes. Original practice material, written for this site; not the official shelf exam.
675 shelf-ready items across 7 clerkships, counted from the live bank. Emergency Medicine questions stay in the Step 2 CK bank — there is no standard EM shelf exam, so it is not labeled one.
Teaching on a clerkship? Clerkship directors can build assigned exams from these same clerkship banks in the Exam Builder, gate them with a per-exam access code so only their students join, and follow the cohort in Analytics — item difficulty, discrimination, and most-missed questions, with flags for faculty review only. Open the Exam Builder →
Pick items from the original bank (or author your own), set a time limit and pass mark, and publish. ~90 seconds per item is the standard pacing.
Students take the exam in timed or untimed mode, with instant scoring and explanations on review.
Get exam statistics (reliability, score distribution) and per-item analysis: p-values, discrimination, distractor performance, most-missed rankings — with flags for faculty review, never automatic deletion.
New — Question Studio. Students and faculty can create their own original questions with Elsie: she drafts each item, then two independent checkers solve it cold before it can be saved — the same triple-check behind the SI MedEd banks. Disputed items come back flagged with reasons, never silently shipped. Open the Question Studio →
Quick flashcards. Ten-card timed rounds from the verified banks — Step 1, Step 2 CK, shelf clerkships, MCAT, Step 3 — by topic or mixed. See the question, beat the clock, retry your misses, and ask Elsie to explain any card you got wrong. No account needed; built for one-handed phone practice. Play a round →
Study mode. Spaced repetition that runs itself — daily 20-card sessions mix due-for-review cards, your weakest topics, and new material, with intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, then 30 days. Misses come back tomorrow; Elsie explains anything you get wrong. No account needed; your schedule lives on your device. Start studying →
What the big platforms do — our version. Commercial systems (MedHub, One45, Blackboard Learn, NBME's assessment services) all provide the same core loop: exam assembly, delivery, and psychometric reporting (item difficulty, discrimination indices, distractor analysis, reliability coefficients, cohort comparisons). This module implements that loop with original code and original items, on open methodology documented below.
Demo data is simulated with a seeded generator (see js/sample-data.js) and labeled as such everywhere it appears.
