About this app

Astra QB is a question bank built for medical students. Practice with exam-style clinical vignettes, learn from full explanations, and track your progress by system and topic.

BUILD THE SESSION YOU NEED
Pick a question bank, choose systems and topics, set the number of questions, and choose tutor mode (answers and explanations as you go) or timed mode (exam conditions with a clock). Filter to unused, incorrect or flagged questions to focus on weak spots.

LEARN FROM EVERY QUESTION
Each question comes with a detailed explanation of the correct answer and why the other options are wrong. Flag questions to revisit, highlight text in the colours you like, strike out options you have ruled out, and keep your own notes.

REVIEW AND IMPROVE
Every session is saved. Go back through your answers, reopen explanations, and re-run your flagged or incorrect questions. Your statistics show performance by system and topic, your accuracy over time, and how you compare with other students.

REFERENCE AT HAND
A built-in reference section keeps lab values and other quick facts one tap away while you study.

STAY IN SYNC
Your progress, flags, highlights and notes are saved to your account, so you can pick up where you left off on another device. Notifications tell you when new content arrives.

PROTECTED CONTENT
Questions are licensed educational material. Screens that show questions are protected against screenshots and recording, and the app will remind you of this.

Astra QB is a study tool. It is not a substitute for medical education, clinical supervision or medical advice.
