Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The smartest & most effective way to study for your USMLE & ABIM exams.
NARQB (Not A Random Question Bank) - is a dynamic, adaptive question bank for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3, and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Certification Exam.
Unlike traditional question banks that generate random practice sets, NARQB adapts in real time to your strengths, weaknesses, and learning history. Every question is selected intentionally. The order is designed to reinforce prior concepts, connect related ideas, and build a deeper, more durable understanding of the material.
When you miss a question, NARQB does more than show you an explanation. It presents targeted variations of the same learning objective, changing the clinical presentation, wording, distractors, or level of reasoning required. This helps you correct the underlying misunderstanding, distinguish between similar diagnoses, and recognize how exam writers may test the same concept in unfamiliar ways.
The goal is not to memorize a single question. It is to master the concept behind it.
Your learning also carries forward as you advance through training. When you move from Step 1 to Step 2 CK, Step 3, and eventually ABIM, NARQB preserves your learning history. Your next exam plan is shaped by the concepts you previously struggled with, the material you have not yet covered, and the knowledge you have already mastered.
Instead of starting over with each new exam, you continue building on a single, connected foundation. NARQB revisits unresolved weaknesses while adapting the depth and clinical focus of questions to match your current stage of training.
High-yield concepts are prioritized early so you can achieve meaningful exam coverage as efficiently as possible. The system also tracks what remains incomplete, helping reduce the chance that important topics are overlooked as your exam approaches.
As you answer more questions, NARQB becomes increasingly personalized. Strong areas progress naturally, while weaker areas receive focused reinforcement. Every response helps determine what you should see next.
Traditional question banks test what you know. NARQB uses what you know—and what you do not yet know—to guide what you learn next.
Practice with purpose. Strengthen your weaknesses. Carry your knowledge forward.
