aaronjw Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey all, Came across this today and thought I'd share it here. It's billed as "the most advanced learning platform for the next generation of Physicians". Not useful for me at the moment but wanted to share for anyone here. http://www.firecracker.me/#features-section Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laika Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hm... looks like a spaced repetition system with a huge library of questions? Might be good for USMLEs for a couple of months, but at $400/yr not practical as a long-term solution for retaining information. I'd encourage people to look at free solutions like Anki. If you start building your own collection early in your training, you'll have an invaluable resource for your entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start building your own collection early in your training, you'll have an invaluable resource for your entire career. I agree, Anki is fantastic and use it myself but from a time perspective for someone new consider... Premed Bio/Chem/Orgo/Physics/MCAT: 3,124 Recall Questions 1,465 MCQs Med Students: 1,838 Topics 31,691 Recall Questions 1,898 MCQs 1,500+ USMLE Questions I know it takes me a great deal of time to make anki cards from my notes and my time certain is worth money To each their own, just a resource I found which some may find useful at some point.

Laika Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Agreed, it certainly has value. If the cards are appropriate, I think it would be awesome for Step 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
