How meds.krd works

Your lectures, not a question bank from abroad

meds.krd follows your college's own lectures, in the weeks they are taught.

A general question bank can't do that, because it doesn't know your timetable. Here the lectures are laid out by subject and week, the way the College of Medicine, University of Sulaimani teaches them, so what you practise is what you have just sat through.

How a lecture is made

Each lecture goes through the Lecture Machine, where several AI models write and check each other's work.

The result is short pages to read and practice questions, made from the lecture's own slides. A lecture offers reading and questions, and forces neither: you pick the order.

Practice before rereading

Trying to recall an answer teaches more than reading the page again.

So every lecture comes with questions, and you can start with them. This is what one study found.

• Roediger and Karpicke, 2006Psychological Science

  Students who practised recalling a passage remembered more of it a week later than students who read it again.

Wrong answers come back

A question you get wrong comes back soon, and then again after longer gaps.

When you practise, you say how sure you were after each answer, and that decides when the question returns. The first time you answer one, wrong comes back in 6 hours, right but guessed in 12 hours, right but not sure tomorrow, and right and sure in 2 days. You keep practising; meds.krd keeps the schedule.

• Cepeda and others, 2006Psychological Bulletin

  A review of more than 300 experiments found that learning spread over time was usually remembered longer than the same time spent in one sitting.

A short why after every answer

After you answer, meds.krd tells you what was right and why.

Knowing which option was correct is not enough on its own: the why is what you take into the exam.

• Butler, Karpicke and Roediger, 2008Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition

  Being told the answer after a test helped people remember it, including answers they had got right but were not sure of.

What a large review found

Of ten popular study techniques, two were rated most useful: practice testing and spaced practice.

Those are the two things meds.krd is built around.

• Dunlosky and others, 2013Psychological Science in the Public Interest

  The authors rated ten techniques, and gave practice testing and distributed practice their highest rating.

These are what the studies found, not what any one student will get.
