A pharmacist national examination preparation app that identifies your weaknesses and shows you what you need to do next.
Based on the core curriculum of pharmaceutical education, it organizes 5,175 questions from the 97th to the 111th examinations (15 years), and helps you master the material with optimal review optimized for the forgetting curve.
It visualizes your progress using two axes: a "Skill Score" that simulates a mock exam and a "Mastery Score" that accumulates over time.
"Where are my weaknesses? Where should I start?"
This app answers these questions with data.
■ Visualizing Skill and Effort with Two Scores
・Past Score: Scores your current skill level in a mock exam style (a benchmark of your skill level)
・Mastery Score: Accumulates the points from questions you've "mastered," visualizing your achievement level from Lv. 1 to 10
Both run in parallel, allowing you to track both your mock exam results and the progress of your consistent efforts.
■ Includes 5,175 questions from the past 15 years
Covers all question formats: mandatory, theoretical, and practical. You can narrow down your search by year, subject, difficulty level, and problem type (case studies, calculations, graph interpretation, combinations, etc.).
■ Quickly input terminology and knowledge with flashcards
Includes flashcards that can be used in parallel with past exam practice.
Frequently memorize frequently appearing terminology and knowledge in stages: basic, standard, and difficult.
The cards are reviewed using spaced repetition based on the forgetting curve, so the knowledge you've learned won't be forgotten.
You can solidify the foundational knowledge tested in past exams.
■ Optimal review at the right time before you forget
Employs a spaced repetition algorithm based on the forgetting curve.
"Problems you're likely to forget tomorrow" are picked out and presented every morning.
Supports efficient memory retention from just 5 minutes during your commute or break time.
■ Identify your weaknesses precisely with the same system as school
Past exams are classified into 9 subjects, 82 sub-fields, and 250 sub-fields, in accordance with the core curriculum for pharmaceutical education.
Because you can identify your weaknesses within the same framework as school lessons and textbooks, organizing your knowledge directly translates to higher scores.
Radar charts and heatmaps provide multifaceted visualization, and the "Type Ranking" shows you the areas you should focus on now, based on the ratio of potential for improvement to learning cost, via the shortest route.
■ Detailed explanations for all options
Not only the correct answer, but also the incorrect options are explained, including "why they are wrong."
Key points, overall explanations, and related knowledge are all deeply explored and organized.
■ Focus on your weak areas with tag search
Multiple tags can be combined to specify areas of weakness. You can extract only the intersection of your weak points, such as "ARB drugs × calculation problems."
"Only problems with amlodipine," "Only calculation problems," "Only problems with ARB drugs"—this kind of flexible filtering allows you to efficiently eliminate your weaknesses.
■ See your distance to the passing score at a glance with yearly performance data
For each of the 97th to 111th exams, a passing judgment (including cutoff scores for required subjects) is performed just like the actual exam.
You can see numerically how many more points you need to reach the passing score for each year.
■ Daily Effort Accumulates
Visualize your progress with an answer count calendar and weekly graph. Achievement indicators, such as "11 consecutive days," support habit formation.
Even just 5 minutes a day contributes to solid skills.
