No therapeutics, no law, no filler — just the math that trips people up on exam day. EIGHT CORE CALCULATION DOMAINS Dosage & weight-based dosing, renal function (Cockcroft-Gault), IV flow rates & infusions, dilution & alligation, concentration & percent strength, milliequivalents & osmolarity, TPN & nutrition, and BSA/IBW/unit conversions. EVERY ANSWER SHOWS ITS WORK Answer a question and see a full numbered, step-by-step worked solution — not just "the answer is X," but exactly how to get there, every time. UNLIMITED PRACTICE A built-in generator produces fresh, never-repeating problems in every domain, so you never run out of practice and never just memorize answers. TIMED QUIZ MODE Category-balanced quizzes at real exam pacing (about 90 seconds per question), no feedback until the score screen — just like test day. SMART REVIEW & PROGRESS Missed problems land in a review queue until you clear them. Per-domain accuracy, streaks, and a weekly activity chart keep you honest. — Pay once. No subscription, no ads, no account. — 100% offline. Your data never leaves your phone. RxCalc is an independent study tool with original problems written by the developer.
