HOW DOES THIS QUESTION BANK WORK?
Each day you will receive five high-yield ABSITE review questions & you’ll have 24 hours to complete them on any device of your choice. Based on the answer choice you select, Qstream’s scientifically proven algorithm will determine the precise time needed for your spaced repetition and content mastery of each question. For ideal learning, spacing interval should be about 4-10% of the needed retention interval. In other words, if you want to optimize your retention of learning one year later, the spacing interval between content testing & repeated knowledge retrieval should be between 2-5 weeks for content mastery.
WILL I HAVE FULL ACCESS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS?
Over the course of a complete academic year you will cover over 1,200 high-yield ABSITE review questions via spaced learning & daily delivery of questions. Learning small amounts of material over multiple sessions (“distributed practice”) can significantly improve knowledge retention compared to learning a large amount at a single time point (“massed practice”). At anytime you can review previous questions you have mastered (correctly answered twice), and study in traditional massed practice form. If you prefer more new questions as your exam nears, ABSITE Quest offers an accelerated study pack with 10+ questions daily. Stay tuned for our “Boost” package each November!
DOES THIS ACTUALLY IMPROVE ABSITE SCORES?
Designed for surgeons, by surgeons - our spaced learning question bank does really work! As noted by ACS Division of Education & published in the Journal of Surgical Education - ABSITE Quest users saw over a 15% increase in their percentile score with completion of as little as 3 questions each & every day.
