It is update month next month. I am grateful for this years funding but I worry about how to continue the reviewer next year. Many want to answer but not many are keen to edit.
ARGO Blog: The History
In 2017, I was studying for the boards and planning our review sessions. Part of my personal strategy was having "reset" sessions once a week wherein I would clear my head of rheum things. I decided I would do something I've always wanted to do which was formally go to a language school. So I started to study Japanese, which was very fun. As part of memorizing kana and kanji, I discovered Anki and then subsequently led me to learn about Spaced Repetition, which further led me to learn about Cerego.
So I made an account, created the first few modules and then shared them with my friends. By the time the exam was approaching I had about 1,500 items I was studying side by side with my readings.
It's been 6 years so far (as of 2022) since then, and I have tried to maintain my reviewer by trying new ways to teach/study, removing poorly done questions, updating items based on new studies. I share them with interested juniors but it was a challenge to get them to not treat it like a samplex or as a quizbank. Currently there are 2300 items to study with the ARGO.
I hope to continue this project, to help fellows review and also for myself to learn along the way.

One of the many concepts behind the reviewer is Spaced Repetition. Please watch this video to learn about this.

How to ARGO
My old recording on Introduction to the ARGO.
As of this recording, I only had around 1500 concepts. Currently there are actually 2300 concepts. I also no longer monitor students.
My old recording on how to use Cerego - Desktop. This is an old recording and at that time the sets were not yet combined. They are combined now into 2300 items.
The Knowledge Bank The videos here were recorded using a mobile browser. The app version has a limited view of the Knowledge bank so it is adviseable you explore it using a web browser/laptop/computer. The knowledge bank shows your progress and helps you spot your weak topics.

Push Notification
When you download the app, you can make it alert you that it's time to review!
PushNotif.movOffline Sync
No internet? No problem! Just sync to the web version when you get a better signal.
OfflineSync.movUsing the Notes Tab
There are bonus materials, references, extra readings or some of my old mnemonics.

Personalization
Do not share passwords. Each learner is different. Each learner has their own pace on how to study. You can also choose which module you want to study first or follow the program's suggestions.
Personalization.movWhat Next?
Now that you are oriented on the basics of the ARGO, if you think you want to be enrolled, you can message me with your preferred email to be used. You will then receive an email with instructions on how to create an account.
Please remember that there is no replacement for reading the recommended textbook, CPGs, and following the exam blueprint. This reviewer is just an assistant. IT IS NOT A SAMPLEX. IT IS NOT A QUIZBANK. A learner does NOT have to finish all 2300 items. UNDERSTAND the topic. The MCQ are random and rearranged. The choices have reasons and purposes - even the wrong ones. The flashcards have multiple answers and versions. Remember I wrote (most of these) as an examinee myself, therefore its purpose is not to grill you, but to help you learn.
If you find a correction or if you want to update a question, you may email me with the rationale. Please note I only accept Kelley's based corrections or current CPG guidelines.
With that, happy studies!

How to edit current content of Cerego - Part 1
I initially did separate demonstrations but it was easier for younger attendings to pick things up by themselves. I am considering downloading the csv version but the photos will not appear in those (Feb 2023)
NOTE: December 2023
Despite available funding, editors who really take time are scarce. We need bigger funding to attract more editors.
Or conduct more video workshops for the ARGO?
