we use proven cognitive science to accelerate your learning.
traditional q-banks are just lists. iatroX is an intelligent learning system built on proven cognitive science.
Our entire system is built on active recall — the act of retrieving information. Scientifically demonstrated to be significantly more effective for retention than passively re-reading notes.
(source: Karpicke, J. D., & Roediger, H. L. (2008). The Critical Importance of Retrieval for Learning.)Built on the Ebbinghaus 'Forgetting Curve,' our algorithm schedules questions at the perfect increasing intervals to interrupt the forgetting process and lock knowledge into long-term memory.
(source: Ebbinghaus, H. (1885). Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology.)stop guessing. our ai dashboard gives you the 1-on-1 guidance of a personal tutor.
Our performance dashboard visually tracks your proficiency by topic, helping you apply 'Mastery Learning' to focus only on what you haven't mastered.
(source: Bloom, B. S. (1968). Learning for Mastery.)Your AI dashboard provides the 1-to-1 guidance proven to be two standard deviations more effective than conventional study by providing personalised, formative feedback.
(source: Bloom, B. S. (1984). The 2 Sigma Problem.)Our dashboard provides real-time, diagnostic feedback to guide your next step — a process proven to produce substantial learning gains.
