Knowing the content is not the same as keeping the pace.

In the first years, the focus is building a base and measuring mastery. Timed multiple-choice mock exams are for when the exam is on the horizon.

In PractiliumHistoryEvery attempt is recorded, and the plan uses the result.

How it works

Base first, then the mock exam.

Four pieces, in the order the plan uses them.

  • 1timed attempt at a time
  • 3attempts side by side
  • 60%line below which an area returns to the plan
  1. 1Tracks to studyThe AI Tutor goes through the topics, one at a time.
  2. 2Cases to decideCases that react to your choices train decisions, beyond the right answer.
  3. 3Mock exams to measureThe score is added by a fixed rule, over an answer key generated by AI.
  4. 4The plan ties it togetherThe mock exam joins the cycle after you learn and practice.

  2. 2Clinical years, 5 to 8Use the semester plan, with exam dates and three things a day.
  3. 3Further aheadWith the base measured, get to know the timed multiple-choice format.

When to use it

When to take a mock exam.

  • 1Now, in the basic sciences. It is not mock exam time yet. Build a base and measure mastery by topic.
  • 2After finishing a track. Measure what you studied in an exam format.
  • 3Close to your exams. Take a mock exam, see where the score drops and study that topic.

Questions about preparation

What format are the mock exams?

The mock exams are original, timed, multiple-choice questions, with results by area.

Does the score come from AI?

No. Scoring is deterministic: the same answers give the same score.

I am in my first year. Do I need a mock exam?

Not yet. Build the base and measure mastery by topic. The mock exam enters when the exam is on the horizon.

Does this certify my preparation?

No. It is an educational tool, and no score here certifies competence.

The exam will not wait for you to find out where you are weak.
