About

StudyStreaks

Features
Read full description

A simple and powerful study planner, to motivate you to study, stay concentrated, prioritise wisely, and become a better student. StudyStreaks creates for you a dynamic study schedule. Rather than setting aside specific blocks of time throughout the week (which you couldn’t possibly stick to in the real world), you can study whenever you like, but the app makes sure you still reach your weekly goal by the end of the week. The app’s timer follows a 25 minute work, and 5 minute break cycle, because psychological research says that 25 minutes is about how long most people can concentrate, and 5 minutes is about how long most people need to reset their concentration. Features include: • A streak tally, to motivate you to reach your weekly study goal, every week. • Research-based timer, to keep your concentration. • Simple, clear graphics, to see how far you are from your goal. • A prioritisation tool, to split your study time optimally between your subjects. • A graph of your study habits over time.

Preceptor: MCCQE is a question-bank app for candidates preparing for the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part I. PRACTICE QUESTIONS ACROSS EVERY DISCIPLINE Thousands of exam-style questions covering all six MCCQE Part I disciplines: • Medicine • Surgery • Pediatrics • Obstetrics and Gynecology • Psychiatry • Public Health, Ethics, Legal and Organizational (PHELO) Every question is modeled on the published MCCQE Part I format: a realistic clinical vignette, a single best-answer lead-in, and focused options. Every answer comes with a written rationale and a cited source, so you learn the reasoning instead of memorizing a letter. STUDY THE WAY YOU WANT • Timed mock exams that mirror real exam pacing • Mixed practice sets drawn from every discipline • Weak-area sets that target the topics you keep missing • Spaced repetition, to bring material back before you forget it • Flag and retry any question you want to revisit • Progress tracking by discipline, so you always know where you stand TRY IT BEFORE YOU PAY Free questions are available in every discipline. FULL ACCESS Full access to the question bank is a 3-month or 6-month auto-renewing subscription, billed through your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings.
