Updated 5 min read

What changed

  • Added 240+ new smart notes spanning ophthalmology, ENT, rheumatology, haematology, and other previously under-covered systems.
  • Each note follows a standardised structure: key facts, exam-relevant differentials, and management decision points.
  • Notes are now cross-linked to related question sets for immediate practice after reading.

Why it matters for your score

  • Long-tail topics collectively account for a meaningful portion of marks, and candidates often lose these through incomplete coverage.
  • Cross-linking notes to questions creates an active learning loop that outperforms passive reading.

Practical checklist

  • Identify your three weakest systems and complete the linked notes-to-questions cycle for each.
  • Use the notes library as a first-pass review before attempting topic-specific question blocks.
  • Bookmark notes where you score below 60% on linked questions for a second review pass.
