Study Strategy with Lessons
For best results, combine lessons with practice questions:
- Start with lessons in your weak areas (check Progress Report)
- Take notes on key concepts and clinical applications
- Practice immediately - Use Manual Mode to test knowledge after each lesson
- Return to lessons when practice accuracy drops below 60%
- Complete daily lessons to maintain consistency and earn points
Tracking Your Progress

Lessons build foundational knowledge, but you must practice questions to develop clinical reasoning skills. Use both together for the best preparation.
