Master medical terminology, one puzzle at a time — built for nursing and pre-nursing students preparing for the NCLEX-RN (nursing licensing exam). MedPrimed is an educational study app with three layers in one place. Play medical terms, learn how the body works, then drill NCLEX-RN practice questions. It is not a pharmacy app. WHAT YOU GET (THREE LAYERS) 1. Medical terminology — word-search puzzles plus spaced-repetition flashcards (SM-2 schedule) across Medical Foundation and NCLEX-RN Exam Terms packs (700+ seed terms) 2. Medical Primer — lessons on how the body works (the Mechanism Method). About 40 modules covering word parts, twelve mechanisms, body systems, TEAS readiness, and a capstone 3. NCLEX-RN question bank — about 3,772 active practice exam questions. Unlocks with All Access, not Premium alone HOW TO STUDY Find terms in a puzzle, tap one onto your flashcards, and rate Again / Hard / Good / Easy so the schedule brings back what you still miss. Walk the Medical Primer path for anatomy and physiology understanding, not just vocab lists. With All Access, open NCLEX-RN Prep for learning mode, practice tests, exam flashcards, and progress review. FREE, PREMIUM, AND ALL ACCESS (in-app purchases) Free includes 1 Foundation category plus 1 NCLEX term sample, Medical Primer Unit 0 and module 3.1, 5 puzzles per day, 2 hints per day, and 3 multiplayer games per day. Premium ($4.99 / month, $29.99 / year, or $49.99 lifetime): all Foundation term lists, the remaining Medical Primer, unlimited puzzles/hints/multiplayer, Blitz, and full analytics. Premium does not unlock NCLEX exam modules. All Access ($5.99 / month, $39.99 / year, or $59.99 lifetime): everything in Premium plus the NCLEX-RN question bank (learning, practice test, exam flashcards, and exam progress). Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE MedPrimed is for studying.
