The questions (example shown below) are polished and of high-quality, as expected from Kaplan Medical. Next, the user can select the number of questions (1-100) desired for the test (shown below).

The “Create Test” function (shown below) allows for the choice of timed or tutor modes, as well as the selection of unused and/or incorrect questions, or all questions. And they definitely seem to be on the right path with this app.Īs for the app itself, the home screen (shown left) offers access to four functions: Create Test, Test Analysis and Review, Overall Progress, and Flagged Items. Though TakeFiveLabs may represent a young and innovative enterprise, the TakeFiveLabs library appears to include solid, well-reviewed, respected apps. This app was released in March as a “test” to generate feedback and guide development of a full version of the Kaplan Qbank app (which is underway with the positive feedback they have received so far from this app), and all indications are that it will be compatible with existing Qbank accounts.Īlthough the Qbank features Kaplan Medical content, it is powered by TakeFiveLabs – “systems engineers at the intersection of design, media, and technology.” TakeFiveLabs dabbles in a variety of projects as it “seeks new ways to improve the human-computer experience”, and has developed other apps including M圜almBeat, What’s Invasive, Twitflick, and GMAT preparation.

In other words, the 100 questions featured in this app are separate from the existing Kaplan Qbank set. One important note though is that this release is as a stand-alone app unable to integrate with existing Qbank accounts.

Here we review the free version of the Kaplan Step 1 QBank App from Kaplan in conjunction with TakeFiveLabs, which features 100 free high-yield USMLE-like questions from Kaplan Medical.
