A short monthly assessment for doctors and cardiology trainees. Ten questions, image-based where the subject allows, with worked explanations published alongside the answers rather than a bare answer key.
Format
Each quiz mixes electrocardiography, echocardiography, angiography and clinical decision-making, weighted towards the material that recurs in DM, DNB, MRCP, USMLE and NEET-SS papers. Questions are written against published blueprints, so the difficulty is calibrated to an examination rather than to trivia. Expect to spend ten to fifteen minutes.
Why explanations matter more than scores
Recognising the correct option and knowing why the other four are wrong are different skills, and only the second survives an examiner asking a follow-up. Every explanation names the trial, guideline or physiological principle the answer rests on, so a wrong answer tells you exactly what to go and read.
Who it is for
Trainees preparing for examinations use it as a weekly calibration. Consultants use it to find the corners of the specialty that have moved since they trained. Physicians, intensivists and anaesthetists outside cardiology tend to find the ECG and echo items the most useful.
Where to go next
For volume practice, the cardiology MCQ bank holds roughly a thousand questions with explanations. For structured revision, the Cardiology High-Yield Review in the course catalogue maps to the major blueprints, and the exam bundles group the relevant titles. A six-month plan is set out in this study plan.
How to use it properly
Do the quiz cold, before reading around the topic. A score achieved after revision tells you what you have just read; a score achieved cold tells you what you actually know, which is the number that predicts examination performance. Note every question you answered correctly but were unsure of — those are the real gaps, and they will not appear in your score.
Difficulty and scope
Questions are pitched at the level of a final-year specialty trainee. Roughly a third are recall, a third interpretation of an image or tracing, and a third clinical decision-making under uncertainty. Nothing is included as a trick; if an item is contested in the literature, the explanation says so rather than pretending a consensus exists.
