For medical students who study at 2am and would rather not. Drop any lecture into PanicBank and it turns it into SBAs, flashcards, a written summary and an AI patient you can rehearse your OSCE with, out loud. Every question and card cites the exact slide it came from, so you always know where the exam is drawing from. Nothing skipped. SBAs Exam-style single-best-answer questions dealt from your own lectures, not a generic bank. Lockdown mode keeps the choices hidden until you commit an answer from memory. Every question comes with the why and the source slide, one tap away. The exam won't be this polite. OSCE DESK Rehearse the consultation out loud. Bring your marking scheme, meet an AI patient who talks back, and watch the checklist tick as you go. 70+ stations shared by students in your year. THE STATEMENT The whole lecture, written up. Every fact the exam actually asks, section by section, each one citing the slide it came from. Exam traps flagged before they catch you. Plus a five-minute Recap for the corridor outside the exam hall. For when your friend gatekeeps the notes. FLASHCARDS Recall, then reveal. In that order. Tap once for the answer, tap again for the exact slide it was lifted from, with your own ink still on it. Spaced repetition decides when you see it next. THE TELLER Circle anything — a table, an X-ray, a sentence — and the Teller explains it in plain words. Ask follow-ups. Challenge an answer option. It knows which lecture, which question and which slide you're on. INK Write on the lecture itself. Pen, highlighter and text on the real slides, with a ruled margin beside every page for your own notes. Your annotations stay attached to the source. MOCK EXAMS Build a timed paper from your own folders or the curriculum. Retake the questions that caught you before. Study Hall tracks lecture mastery, question accuracy, weak modules and your next useful action, in one place. THE ARENA Two of you. Same questions. One ticker. Put up five questions from your own library and challenge a friend by name, or leave the seat open for anyone in your year. Faster answers are worth more. The book keeps score. — Deposit a PDF, a slide deck or a photo. Free to open. No card. You can close it whenever the panic passes. PanicBank is a study aid for medical education only. It is not a substitute for professional clinical training and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Questions or feedback? Email us at Panicbankai@gmail.com.
