We love hearing and implementing your ideas!
add diagrams and pictures to question answers to help visual learners
Especially for the OMM questions, adding diagrams and images to the answer portion will help with learning, particularly for visual learners.
Figures and Diagrams
Please add figures and diagrams to the explanations. It would definitely improve the quality of the answers.
Set a passing COMAT percentile
Different DO schools have different passing cutoffs for their COMATs. Mine is 30th percentile.
When reviewing, test writers highlight key details in the vignette that made answer choice correct.
It would be nice to visually see pertinent information highlighted that should have directed our thought process towards a particular differential. I am aware there is a descriptive explanation under each answer choice, but would be nice facts highlighted in the vignette also.
Thank you
Create a practice test by searching for specific questions rather than only searching through questions that have been completed on a practice exam
On Truelearn, you can search through the questions to find ones with a matching Key Term. For instance, I can create a practice test that only contains questions related to Diabetes. Here, I can only create a test that pertains to all of Endocrinology. On UWorld, you can see the subsets of each subject. For instance, I can click "Microbiology" and then further specify the topic I am interested in "HIV".
Be able to filter questions by difficulty
When it comes to studying, sometimes in your sets there are some 'plug and chug' type questions that are considered 'easy' and have a high percentage of students getting them right. A basic appendicitis presentation, for example. I think a cool feature would be to be able to sort questions by difficulty (based on percentage who answer right). You can review your questions based on difficulty already (easy, medium, hard). Perhaps you want to knock out all the 'easy' ones first as a warm up. Or you only want to do 'hard' questions because you want to focus your studying on the perceived 'harder' topics/questions. I think this would make the product more valuable to those who want to really narrow down what they're studying.
Make a way to search for specific topics and only do questions on that topic (Ex. Failure to thrive)
I am trying to study with COMQUEST both for my Year 2 second semester classes and for board prep. I need to be able to tailor my questions to what I am covering in class. Smaller topics such as "Teratogenic diseases" and "Failure to thrive" are what I'm covering in class and will be very highly testing on COMLEX Level 1 per the COMLEX Blueprint however I have no way to find these topics in particular in the Exam section on CONQUEST. The options are only very broad and I dont have time to search through every question just to find the few related to the topic I'm currently studying. This is very frustrating and forces me to use other banks such as Amboss and USMLE Rx even though they may not be geared directly to COMLEX, they have the specific questions that I need. For this reason I am less inclined to recommend COMQUEST to other students
night mode for dashboard
It would benefit my pineal gland if there was a dark mode for the dashboard as well.
