What is a qbank?

Answer

A qbank — short for question bank — is a large, searchable collection of exam-style practice questions with detailed explanations for every answer choice. Modern qbanks do far more than quiz you: they track performance by subject, surface weak areas, simulate real exam timing blocks, and feed spaced-repetition schedules. For licensing exams like the USMLE steps, PLAB, and MRCP, question-bank work is widely considered the core engine of preparation because it trains retrieval under exam conditions.
