§ 01 — Brainstorm

Most banks stop at the answer.
Brainstorm sends you back to the wards.

Every question opens into Brainstorm — a reasoning engine, not an answer key. First you build the case yourself: spot the high-yield clue, commit to a diagnosis, choose the action. Then your Attending takes over — a physician-grade AI preceptor that pushes on exactly where your thinking bent, until the reflex is yours. The difference between reading medicine and being asked medicine.

Active recall

Before the options appear, you commit — the one high-yield clue, the diagnosis, the next move. You construct the reasoning instead of recognizing a pattern.

Your Attending

A physician-grade AI preceptor reacts to your answer, right or wrong — naming the trap that caught you and the single discriminator that breaks the case, drawn as a living Venn against its closest look-alike. The reflex, not the fact.

Mock Me

Mastery, verified. Brainstorm promotes your strongest distractor to the correct answer and demotes the original to the trap — forcing you to tell two cognitive neighbors apart. Recognition can't fake this.

Go deeper

One tap spins up fresh questions on the same topic — each testing a new facet: diagnosis, next step, mechanism, the clinical look-alike. You own the topic from every angle, on demand.

§ 02 — Why BoardMD

A different kind of preparation.

Cover broader. Retain deeper.

Long vignettes belong on exam day. BoardMD's role is different: compact, high-yield questions let you pass through far more material per session — without sacrificing rigor.

AI doctors actually trust.

Not a deck generated in an afternoon. Built with an evidence-first methodology and verified by a physician who has lived the exam. Zero hallucinations, zero shortcuts.

A platform you'll want to open.

FSRS-5 scheduling, a live global leaderboard, MDCoins and titles. The rigor of a textbook with the pull of an app you choose to launch at midnight.

§ 03 — Decks

One definitive deck per exam.
The whole blueprint, built right.

No forks, no versions, no community confusion about which deck to commit to. One definitive, continuously updated deck for every exam we cover — aligned to its official blueprint, ready the day you start.

§ 04 — The engine

Everything Anki does.
Everything Anki never could.

FSRS-5 scheduling applied to every question you touch, a live status board that hunts your weak spots, a global ranking with your name on it, and a reward economy that makes you want to open the app tired at midnight. Natively built, refined for medicine.

FSRS-5, on everything

The exact engine that made Anki legendary — new-before-review ordering, per-deck limits, learning steps, target retention — rebuilt natively so every question resurfaces at the precise moment you were about to forget it.

Your weak spots, ranked

A live status board scores your mastery by system and discipline, sorted weakest-first and color-coded — so you always know your gap. One tap turns your weakest topic into a targeted session.

Live global ranking

A real-time leaderboard carrying your name, your university and your country. Climb against every student on the platform — or pull friends into a private league that's yours alone.

MDCoins & titles

Earn MDCoins, unlock titles, hold a streak that respects your schedule. Gamification built by someone who sat the boards — the pull of Duolingo, held to the standard of medicine.

Did you take the USMLE?

Your score helps BoardMD calibrate the readiness prediction for every future student — including those in countries where access to prep resources is limited.

Why this matters

Your data improves the algorithm. With enough real scores, the readiness zones become genuinely predictive — not just estimates.

Future students benefit directly. A student in Brazil or India with no access to expensive prep courses will have a real benchmark to guide their study.

It takes 60 seconds. Score, exam date, optional notes. That is all.

Your score is never shared publicly. It is used exclusively for anonymous algorithm calibration. You can delete it at any time in your profile.
