Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

BoardVitals offers board-style practice questions for more than 50 board exams and medical specialties. Study effectively with high-yield questions that are accompanied by detailed explanations and rationales for correct and incorrect answers. All questions are written and reviewed by physicians and clinicians who’ve recently taken the board exams. Brought to you by BoardVitals, a brand you know and trust for up-to-date quality content, you can now access your test prep from wherever you are with your mobile device. Whether you have 10 minutes between classes, on rounds, on a commute, or you’ve blocked off bigger chunks of time to focus on practice questions, we’ve got you covered. OFFLINE ACCESS The content on the BoardVitals Mobile App is available anywhere. Download your custom quizzes with offline access and study with or without an internet connection. PRACTICE WITH CONFIDENCE USING TOP TOOLS With similar testing features to the ones you’ll have access to on the exam, you can nip some of your test anxiety in the bud. Highlight key passages of the question Strikeout answer choices to eliminate distractors Mark a question to come back to it later Make a note for yourself for a specific question QUESTION FORMATS Half the battle of mastering your score, is mastering the format of your exams. Taking practice questions in the same format you’ll see on the exam is critical to your success. These question banks include the following testing formats: Multiple Choice Select All That Apply (SATA) Graphic Items Hot Spot Items Fill in the Blank Calculation Audio Questions Exhibit Questions As you create your custom practice quizzes, you will see a mix of these question types, just as you would see on the exam for which you’re preparing. QUIZ MODES Further customize your quizzes by choosing from three quiz types: STUDY MODE Study mode is similar to an open book quiz without a time limit. In this quiz environment, you can read the explanations as you go and practice at your own pace. TEST (UNTIMED) MODE Test (Untimed) Mode is like taking a closed book quiz without the pressure of a time limit. Answers and explanations are not available during the quiz. TEST (TIMED) MODE To quasi-simulate the pressure of a test environment, Test (Timed) Mode allows you to study without revealing the correct answers and explanations until the quiz has been completed. NCLEX® CAT TESTING MODE For NCLEX® students, you can choose to practice in a Computer Adaptive Test mode (CAT). Computer adaptive testing adjusts to your abilities - providing you with either an easier or harder question depending on how you answered the previous question. DETAILED ANALYTICS ANSWER RESPONSE TIME Oftentimes we know the answer, but it can take us too long to recall it. With built-in analytics to evaluate your answer response time, you can see if you’re on the right track to completing your board exam in the allotted time frame. Analytics cover your average response time based on individual questions, averages by subject, and averages by quiz. PEER RANK Individual performance scores are important, but only give you part of the story. Our Peer Rank metric shows how you compare with others answering the same questions so you can see how you're ranking compared to your peers studying for the same exam. Our comprehensive evidence-based explanations are now augmented with Peer Comparisons so you can see exactly how other users answered the same question with percentages for each answer choice. MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS Your competency changes as you study. Your dashboard will feature a visual representation of your performance over time. Identifying growth or plateaus can help you target trouble areas and maximize your study time.
