NARQB - USMLE & ABIM Q-Bank Live

NARQB (Not A Random Question Bank) is an adaptive question bank app for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3 and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification exam. Instead of random practice sets, NARQB chooses the order of your questions from your answers: concepts build in layers, missed questions come back as rewritten variations, and your weak areas carry forward from one exam to the next. WHO NARQB IS FOR • Medical students preparing for USMLE Step 1 (pass/fail) and Step 2 CK • Residents preparing for USMLE Step 3 • Internal medicine residents and physicians preparing for ABIM • Students on clerkships who want to focus on one system or shelf exam CONCEPT CHAINS: QUESTIONS IN A DELIBERATE ORDER When you answer a question correctly, NARQB's next question builds on the same concept: the next layer, a new application, or a related principle from another system. The question bank reads like a textbook that builds as you go. VARIATION LOOPS: SPACED REPETITION BUILT INTO THE QUESTIONS When you miss a question, NARQB brings the same learning objective back as a rewritten variation, with a different clinical presentation, wording, distractors or level of reasoning. It keeps coming back until you answer it correctly, then returns for review at 1 and 3 days before it is marked mastered. You learn the concept, not the answer to one question, and you don't have to turn your misses into a separate flashcard deck. THE COVERAGE ENGINE: HIGH-YIELD FIRST, NOTHING MISSED NARQB starts with the highest-yield material, then the topic most different from everything you have seen, covering the most ground in the fewest questions. It tracks what you have not covered yet, so important topics are not left for the week before your exam. NEXT EXAM ADVANTAGE: YOUR HISTORY CARRIES FORWARD NARQB remembers the topics you struggled with and the questions you never finished. When you move from Step 1 to Step 2 CK, Step 3 and ABIM, your next question bank starts with those weak spots instead of starting over. AN AI TUTOR THAT KNOWS YOUR QUESTIONS NARQB's AI tutor answers at the level of the exam and cites questions you have already done, so every explanation builds on what you have worked through. The tutor is the only AI in NARQB. Every question is written by experts, not generated by AI. A STUDY GUIDE BUILT FROM YOUR ANSWERS Topics you struggle with are added to your study guide, built from the answer choices you actually picked. It shows where your reasoning broke down, so you know exactly what to reread. WHAT'S INSIDE • 8,700+ board-style questions across 28 systems and disciplines • Every answer choice explained • Expert-written questions based on past exam content, high-yield review resources and standard textbooks • Clinical images, biostatistics and lab values • Built in collaboration with New York Medical College's St. Clare's & St. Mary's Internal Medicine Residency Program • One account on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web • 7-day free trial with every feature COMMON QUESTIONS How is NARQB different from a regular question bank? NARQB picks each next question from your previous answers, repeats missed concepts as new variations, and prioritizes high-yield topics you have not covered yet. Do I still need flashcards for the questions I miss? NARQB builds spaced repetition into the questions themselves: missed concepts return as new variations at spaced intervals until you master them. Can I use NARQB for shelf exams and rotations? Yes. Focus mode limits practice to the systems or clerkships you choose, keeping the same adaptive order.
