This is a great integration that allows you to pull information from the AMBOSS bank into your Anki Decks. This image was taken from the AMBOSS page, check it out here. I bet you have felt the same way I have in the past, you are looking at a radiological image and think to yourself, “what the hell?” and you can’t see anything that the attending is talking about, but you just agree with it and roll on. This is an awesome feature that allows you to overlay or highlight the section of an image that is being discussed. Doing a question and then connecting more material beyond the explanations to that question helped me to develop a deep understanding of the information being presented. This is the way that I used all my question banks during my board prep and something I really credit with helping me get such great scores. Along with this there is a short explanation to each answer choice as well. I think this info right here may even be the cornerstone of this AMBOSS review.Īfter answering a question you will have the opportunity to open up the corresponding learning card to that topic. I think what might be my absolute favorite feature of AMBOSS is the connection between the question bank and the learning cards. This image was pulled from the main AMBOSS page. Pretty much the learning cards are organized in such a fashion that they break down the disease into all of its individual parts with an overview, diagnostics, clinical presentation, differentials, tests to order, common signs and symptoms and treatments. Once you get to the corresponding learning card you will have the opportunity to get what I like to call “a 5000 foot overview” with the first drop down menu of information and then the more you scroll down and open up more drop downs it gets more and more specific down to differentials and treatments. It is essentially a huge library that you can search any topic in medicine and pull up the corresponding learning card. The learning cards are an awesome tool to have around as well. Overall though, you can expect the questions to be similar to real USMLE Style questions. Now, I say most of the questions because there are some in their Q-Bank that are just way out in left field. They have an option when you are making your individual test to select the level of difficulty that you want.īeyond just selecting the difficulty though, most of the questions in and of themselves are very representative of real world USMLE style questions, a title that I think only UWorld has been able to hold for a long time. I bet you are wondering about the difficulty of the questions right? Well, AMBOSS has some very appropriate level of difficulty questions.

It is a tool to help teach you how to answer questions. Over time, using the highlight tool that AMBOSS has will help you start to see what you need to be getting out of the question. Well so what does a feature like that mean to you? It will help teach you how to pick out the important parts of a question. I have not noticed this with any other question bank out there. The question bank hits a lot of different topics, some of which are not present in other board prep companies question banks which could be a huge plus.Ī unique aspect of the AMBOSS question bank is that it has a feature that will highlight the high yield information in a question. They have created a question bank, that in my opinion, is pretty solid. So, onto an explanation about the question bank. AMBOSS is a USMLE and COMLEX board prep product that has both a question bank and a library of what they call learning cards.
