what is the iatroX UK question bank?
The iatroX UK Q-Bank is an adaptive question bank built for UK medical exams. It covers UKMLA, PLAB 1, MRCGP AKT, MRCP Part 1, MRCEM SBA, PARA (formerly PANE), PSA and MSRA on the free tier, plus a single subscription that unlocks specialist diplomas (FFICM, DipIMC, DTM&H, DFSRH, DRCOG, DGM, DCH, DOccMed, GPhC CRA), every SCE specialty, MRCPCH, MRCPsych, FRCA, ORE and MFDS — and extends to US, Canadian, Australian and Italian boards on the same plan.
Each question is grounded in UK clinical guidelines (NICE, CKS, BNF, SIGN, NHS) and explanations cite the originating source. The adaptive engine combines spaced repetition with active recall to surface the questions where your retention is weakest.
what happens after you get a question wrong?
In iatroX Pro, missed questions can be opened in the Socratic Tutor. Instead of simply showing another explanation, the Tutor asks you to retrieve and reason first, identifies the misconception behind your answer, and then teaches the concept in the context of the exam source base.
That means a wrong answer becomes a guided clinical reasoning session: active recall, misconception diagnosis, targeted correction and a path back into spaced practice.
