iatroX is the ai-powered q-bank for the PLAB, UKMLA, MRCGP AKT, Physician Associate (PANE), MRCEM SBA, MRCP Part 1, Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA). plus SCE specialties, royal college exams, dental banks and specialist diplomas for clinicians going further.
we use retrieval practice, spaced repetition and socratic tutoring to help you learn more efficiently.
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.)adaptive sequencing tells you what to study next. the dashboard shows what is weak. the Socratic Tutor helps you understand why you missed a question.
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 dashboard and Tutor create a more personalised learning loop: identify the gap, attempt retrieval, receive formative feedback, and return weak concepts into practice.
(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.
(source: Black, P., & Wiliam, D. (1998). Inside the Black Box.)In iatroX Pro, missed questions can open into a guided reasoning session. the tutor asks before it answers, identifies the misconception, and teaches from the validated sources for that exam.
