**Who it is for:** Medical students in all five years of medical school. It is not built for interns, graduates, or board exams.

**Question bank:**

- 31,840 questions, 1,512 topic notes, and 343 clinical skills guides from the preclinical sciences to clinical specialties.
- Every question is a single best answer question with five options. Every option is explained. Each question ends with a takeaway.
- 21.7% of questions (6,913) cite at least one public reference a student can open.
- Clinical skills guides are written in steps: 7,567 of 7,567 steps give the patient phrase in English and Egyptian Arabic.
- Organised by stage (Preclinical and Clinical), discipline or specialty, and body system. A student can also filter by year.
- Library questions, notes, and guides use no credits.

**Your own lectures:**

- Upload a lecture PDF or PowerPoint file up to 100 MB, pick the pages, and get SBAs, MCQs, flashcards, or high-yield notes.
- Every item links to the page it came from. Check it against your slides before you rely on it.
- PDF pages are read visually: diagrams, tables, and scanned slides are tested too. PowerPoint files are read as slide text only.
- Long lectures are read in parts of 20 pages for questions and 14 pages for flashcards and notes.
- A question set has 5 to 30 questions.
- SBA questions: 8 credits per 10 questions.
- MCQs: 6 credits per 10 questions.
- Flashcards: 2 credits per 10 lecture pages.
- High-yield notes: 3 credits per 10 lecture pages.
- Weakness Pack: 6 credits per pack.
- If a generation fails, you are not charged. Credits are taken only after a finished set is saved to your account. A run that does not finish costs nothing.
- If a set comes back short, because some pages could not be read or the lecture had too few testable points for the number you asked for, the charge drops in line with what was delivered. This happens automatically.

**How content is made and reviewed:**

- Library content follows its source lectures and is reviewed under clinician oversight.
- Students report a problem from any question, note, or guide in the app or by email to support@recallengine.app.
- A correction is published as a new version. A withdrawn item leaves the question bank.
