I'm allowed to chime in because this thread is asking about Osmosis 🙂 Picmonic has partnered with us in part because we are able to recommend Picmonics right alongside your course documents, flashcards, and questions. We're much more than flashcards/spaced repetition - that's pretty basic, if essential, stuff. Osmosis has a machine learning-based recommendation engine that can send you flashcards, Picmonics, youtube videos, First Aid references, Medscape articles, 3D anatomy flashcards (www.osmosis.org/anatomy), Celebrity Diagnoses, and other material right next to your curricular info. Check it out for yourself or DM me with any more questions. Thanks for trying it.

Looks promising but "Unlimited Access to All Question Banks" is kind of misleading.
Also, no free trial offered and the free version doesn't make me try it out.

What does UFAP stand for?
UW, FA, Pathoma ?

There should be a way to answer questions randomly..

I answered all the ECG questions...then I wanted to re-do all of em... they come in the same order as before...

pretty sure i am getting a couple correct by just subconsciously knowing the order of the questions..they seem to be ordered in sequence... BBB -> Afib -> etc -> etc

@Transposony , there is a free trial and you can get more free Osmosis through activating your class group and referring friends. Please DM me if you don't see the free trial and I'll add some for you. Also where do you see the "Unlimited Access to All Question Banks"? We have specified which question banks are part of Osmosis Prime and which come from publishing partners such as the American College of Physicians. We may combine them into one Netflix-style subscription too. The free version of Osmosis, Osmosis Basic, has been at use at our school (Johns Hopkins) for a few years now and gets a lot of use as a group-coordination study bank.

There should be a way to answer questions randomly..

@Focused1 Osmosis will send you the relevant questions/flashcards based off of your schedule so if you personalize your plan the questions will appear based on that. Answer choices are often randomized, but I'll talk to our team about randomizing the order of questions on the web platform. You can use the app to generate random quizzes too with multi-topics. Please let me know what you think and thanks for the feedback!

@Focused1, it's now fixed! Thanks for pointing it out.

@Transposony, thanks for sharing that. We'll modify it to say "Complete Access to All Osmosis Prime Question Banks" - how does that sound?
