- Spaced repetition: review what you're forgetting, not what you know
- Card types: mechanism, drug profile, anatomy correlate, pathological process
- MCQ drill mode for rapid-fire practice between sessions
- One click from card to full study note

The ACEM Primary Examination tests the basic science foundations of emergency medicine: physiology, pharmacology, anatomy and pathology. Passing it is a prerequisite for entering the ACEM Fellowship training pathway. The written component is 150 MCQ and EMQ questions; candidates who pass then sit four integrated vivas, each covering all four disciplines through a single body-system theme. Approximately 65% of candidates pass at each sitting.
