For minds not limited to the mundane world... see what is beneath our visible reality. Based on real data from practicing scientists, 10k Science brings the world of the unseen from 100-million-times normal human vision directly to the device in your hand. 10k Science is a tool that: • Engages you in complex science no matter your age or experience • Guides you in an intelligent, Socratic-style exploration of scientific problems • Challenges you to think about the world at vastly different scales Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and in collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley, we bring you an ever-expanding library of experiences - from the depths of the ocean to inside the human bloodstream. 10k Science is a living platform: we are constantly working on new content, and your feedback is taken to heart by a small, bootstrapped team. Background: 10k Science was created by the developers of the app, Powers of Minus Ten, which was featured by Apple multiple times and was in the iPad 2 commercial, "Alive". 10k Science in many ways is the successor to Powers of Minus Ten, but featuring more advanced, scientifically-accurate visualizations and AI capabilities, and extensive testing in authentic educational environments.

ACLS Practice Test

Pass your ACLS the first time. 340+ questions, 15 rhythm strips you can actually read, and megacode scenarios — all written against the current 2025 guidelines. No account, no signal, no ads. Recertifying and short on time? Open the app and take a practice test in ten minutes. EVERY TOPIC ON THE WRITTEN EXAM • Rhythms & ECG Recognition — all 15 strips, drawn clearly for focused practice • ACLS Algorithms — cardiac arrest, bradycardia, tachycardia, post-arrest • Pharmacology — every drug, dose, route and indication • Post-Arrest, Airway & Team — ROSC targets, capnography, airway, team dynamics Nothing is "coming soon" — every deck above is in the app today. READ EVERY RHYTHM Rhythm recognition is where most people lose marks, so it gets focused practice. Normal sinus, sinus bradycardia and tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, monomorphic and polymorphic VT, coarse and fine VF, asystole, an organized PEA trace, and second- and third-degree block. Every strip renders full width on a proper ECG grid — a clean tracing, not a photocopy of one. MEGACODE SCENARIOS, TIMED The megacode sitting walks one patient through a sequence of scenario rounds — read the rhythm, pick the algorithm step, choose the drug, choose what comes next — against the clock. There is a full-length timed mock as well. BUILT ON THE 2025 GUIDELINES The 2025 cycle changed answers that were taught for years: intravenous access before intraosseous, atrial flutter cardioversion at 200 J, five back blows before abdominal thrusts for adult choking, routine mechanical CPR no longer recommended. Every question records the guideline edition it was written against, so nothing here goes quietly stale. SMART REVIEW REMEMBERS YOUR MISSES A five-box spaced-repetition system brings each question back right before you would forget it. Misses jump the queue with the explanation and the guideline behind them. NEVER LET YOUR CARD LAPSE Certification comes around every two years and it is easy to lose track. Enter your card expiry date and the home screen counts down, with a recert reminder as the window opens. First-timers can set an exam date instead. OFFLINE, PRIVATE, NO ACCOUNT Free download, no sign-up, no email, no ads. The whole app works with no signal. Progress stays on your phone. No patient information is collected or entered anywhere. FOR CERTIFICATION STUDY ONLY For certification study only — not clinical guidance. In practice, follow current guidelines, your training, and local protocols. NOT AFFILIATED Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) or any certifying or training organization. ACLS® is a registered trademark of the AHA, referenced only to indicate exam-prep compatibility. Independent study material — not an AHA course, and completing it does not grant certification. Exam length, pass mark and delivery vary by training center, so check yours. Scores are an estimate, not a guarantee. OFFICIAL SOURCES — THE COMPLETE LIST Every guideline fact in this app comes from these public publications and no others: • American Heart Association, 2025 Guidelines for CPR and ECC (public Highlights): https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines • American Heart Association, the published 2025 CPR and ECC algorithms: https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/algorithms The rhythm strips are original artwork drawn for this app, not taken from any book or course.
