How to use ADC Compass
Start with the study areas
Use topic-based practice to identify which clinical areas need attention. The platform is organised around the ADC study areas shown in the official examination materials, without presenting unofficial percentage claims.
Read before choosing
Do not begin by scanning the options. Read the vignette, note the patient-specific findings and then compare the options that fit the same clinical decision.
Review the rationale
After answering, use the explanation to identify the finding that changed the decision. Bookmark cases you want to revisit and monitor your performance over time.
