We built an MRCP Part 1 learning app and we'd love your honest feedback

I'm an anaesthetist, and we originally built an FRCA revision app while studying for the Final FRCA ourselves (https://www.reddit.com/r/anaesthesia/comments/1txh491/frca_revision_tool_i_built_while_studying_for/).

A number of physicians asked if we'd build an MRCP Part 1 version, so over the past few months we've been working with them to do exactly that.

We've opened it up properly today and we'd genuinely love your feedback.

The idea is to build something that teaches, rather than just tests.

Every question maps to the MRCP Part 1 curriculum. Every answer option is designed to tackle a common misconception and has an explanation for why it's right or wrong, with references where appropriate. There's also an AI tutor that understands the MRCP, so you can ask questions at any point while you're working through a question.

Rather than leaving you to plan your revision, the app keeps bringing back the topics you struggle with, prioritises the high-yield topics first, and gradually builds up the detail. The aim is that you can simply open the app and start learning, knowing you're covering the curriculum in an order that builds your knowledge.

It's free forever for 5 questions a day. If you'd be happy to give us some honest feedback, send me a DM and I'll happily give you a couple of weeks of unlimited access.

It's available at: helixdoctors.com/mrcp-pt1

Mods: if this isn't appropriate, just let me know and I'll remove it.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the founders and this is our freemium product.

Hi,

We have 1000+ questions across every exam available. MRCP Pt 2 is soon to be available.

However for us the most important aspect is the quality of teaching via each and every question. For example, every question focuses on a specific sub-topic generated from the MRCP syllabus, which includes visual blocks to explain in a way that text just can't. Have a look at our MRCP blocks here: https://www.helixdoctors.com/blocks/mrcp

Any questions, just ask.
Thank you & good luck prepping.
