Our Questions
Just like you’ll see on the actual exam. Based on the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) format
No “negatively phrased” questions, no “all of the following except”, no “A and B”…you know what we mean. In order for a test question to be high quality, it must satisfy two basic criteria:
- Must address important content
- Must be well structured
Question » Stem » Lead in 
A 60-year-old man presents to establish psychiatric care. On exam you notice frequent puckering movements of the lips as well as chewing movements. He states that these movements have been present for years. Which of the following medications most likely resulted in the observed hyperkinetic movements?
Our Answer Choices
Building difficulty into the question. Meet the Challenge.
A question’s difficulty is defined by the choice of distractors. Good distractors determine the difficulty level of a question. Therefore, good distractors are one of the most important features of a high quality question.
Understanding why an answer choice is incorrect is just as important as knowing why it is correct
Our Explanations
Synthesized for optimized learning and recall & created with a purpose
Every question contains a detailed explanation for the correct and incorrect answer choices and integrated media for those that learn best by visual stimuli. Understanding a topic cannot be learned in isolation. You require context. We take deliberate steps to deliver a comprehensive explanation linking the most important components to master a topic.
Enhanced learning
Explanations contain integrated audio and visual content to further clarify meaning of the core concept. By representing information using audio cues and spatially with images, you are able to focus on meaning, reorganize and group similar ideas easily and make better use of your audio and visual memory.
