Revision samplers
The two samplers use different source pools: one samples the monograph end-of-page questions, the other samples the authored core topic exams.
All monographs sampler
A 30-question paper drawn from the Test yourself questions attached to every monograph. Best for broad library recall after working through the more focused category quizzes.
Core mixed paper
A 30-question paper drawn from the authored core topic banks only, such as melanoma, cSCC, BCC, reconstruction, pathology and NICE policy. Better for exam-style revision across major domains.
Editorial standard
Questions are written from the same UK clinical reference content as the site's monographs — NICE NG14, NG12, the relevant NICE TAs, NHS England commissioning policies, BAD specialty guidelines, RCPath datasets, AJCC 8 / TNM 8 staging and WHO-HAEM5 (2022). Each question carries an explanation with citations to the underlying source. If you spot an error or a question that needs updating, please flag it — we re-verify against the source register quarterly.
