Questions on our Website

22/06/20

At the time of writing, we aim to begin creating a bank of questions for people to use for their own revision, but there are a few things you should know...

1) Google Forms

We use Google forms to create our questions. This platform is free for us to use and allows us to ask short answer questions which are marked automatically, and can provide you with instant feedback on your score and why the correct answer is indeed correct.

2) We use short answer questions

It is our belief that there is limited use to the multiple choice question (MCQ) besides a bit of fun and for learning quick pattern recognition. We think that using short answer questions tests your knowledge better and requires you as the learner to provide your own answer without potentially using any cues you may get from the answer section. In addition, it is far faster for us to create short answer questions so we see it as a win-win here.

3) But my answer was right!

We keep the answers we require very short which allows the automatic system to mark the questions easily. For example, if the answer to the question is radial nerve then we can set 'radial nerve' and 'Radial Nerve' as correct answers but we may not think to set 'Radial' as a correct answer. As a result, the system may mark your correct answer wrong. The same applies if you make a slight spelling error. Hence, we will try to make our questions so that the answer is as clear and short as possible. If we notice that many people are spelling an answer a certain way then we will add that as a correct answer so hopefully our bank of 'accepted answers' grows over time making the system more user-friendly.

4) How relevant are these questions?

We try to make our questions as relevant as possible to what we feel you need to know and what will come up in your exams. Not every question is designed to be a buzzword, some questions may get you to think and some questions may seem low yield but may be helping you build your background knowledge. Hopefully you can give us some feedback if you have any opinions on specific tests! Check out the 'Contact Us' page for how to easily do this!

5) There's hardly any questions here!

It may take us some time to add questions for all the topics. Plus we may add more questions for topics as time goes by, so keep checking back!

6) Certificates!

We automatically issue certificates with our quizzes so you can keep a track of which ones you have completed!

Hopefully these 6 points help you to understand more about the questions on our website!
