How to use SimpleMed+

Start here: what is free, what Premium adds, and a simple weekly routine.

Open the page this article covers

SimpleMed+ is a bank of single best answer (SBA) questions written by UK doctors, not generated by AI, and mapped to pre-clinical medical school curricula. Every question has a full explanation and links to the matching SimpleMed notes.

Your first ten minutes

  1. Create a free account with Google, Apple or your email address. No payment details are needed.
  2. Answer a free practice set. Open the Question Bank, choose a subject, then an article.
  3. Read the explanation after each answer, and follow the link to the notes when a topic needs more depth.
  4. Check your Dashboard to see your accuracy by subject.

What Premium adds

  • New Session: build a session from any mix of subjects, difficulty and length.
  • Timed exams: sit a timed paper, with answers and explanations at the end.
  • Revision Coach: flashcards for the facts behind the questions you miss, brought back before you forget them.
  • Daily Question: one question a day, with a streak to keep.

A weekly routine that works

  • Practice untimed while you learn a topic, so you read each explanation straight away.
  • Once a week, sit a timed exam across the subjects you have covered.
  • Clear the Revision Coach cards that are due on most days.
  • Use Where to focus next on the Dashboard to choose your next subject.
