Everything you need to know about Premedis - the app, the learning method and the subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
About the app
What is Premedis? expand_more
Premedis is a mobile app for students preparing for medical school entrance exams. Instead of passively re-reading textbooks, you answer questions like on the real exam. While most people are used to learning topic-by-topic, our advanced algorithm maximizes efficiency by focusing on your actual weaknesses, skipping what you already know and focusing on questions that you struggle with. This way, the material actually stays in your long-term memory.
How is Premedis different from practice question books? expand_more
Books are passive. Premedis is an active coach. The app helps you prepare gradually using spaced repetition, and it keeps track of what you already know so you don't waste time on it. It also makes studying enjoyable enough that you actually keep going.
How is Premedis different from prep courses? expand_more
Prep courses are expensive, one-off and largely passive. Premedis is available whenever you have a free minute, costs a fraction of the price and uses active learning driven by a personalised algorithm. Most successful applicants combine both approaches.
How is Premedis different from Anki? expand_more
Anki is a general-purpose spaced repetition tool that you have to fill with your own cards first. Premedis makes prep incredibly easy: thousands of ready-made questions written for medical school entrance exams, each with an explanation. Nothing to set up - you just start learning.
Who writes the questions? expand_more
The questions are written and continuously improved by medical students who passed the entrance exams themselves. They know exactly what matters and which traps show up on the real test.
Does the app work offline? expand_more
Not yet, but we're working on it.
The learning method
What is spaced repetition and why does it work better than ordinary studying? expand_more
Spaced repetition is a scientifically validated method built on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Instead of reviewing material at fixed intervals, the algorithm works out the exact moment a piece of information is about to slip out of your memory - and shows it to you right then. The result is more retention for far less time spent.
What is active recall and how does it help me on the exam? expand_more
Active recall is a technique where your brain actively retrieves information instead of just passively reading it. Every question in Premedis forces you to recall - and that strengthens neural connections far more than endless re-reading. Studies show this way of learning can be up to 52 % more effective than conventional studying. Source study.
How many minutes a day do I need for effective preparation? expand_more
Even 15–20 minutes a day (on the bus, for example) is enough for the algorithm to do its job. Premedis is designed for micro-learning - short, regular sessions beat occasional multi-hour blocks.
When should I start preparing for medical school entrance exams? expand_more
We recommend starting 6-12 months before the exam. The spaced repetition algorithm in Premedis is built for long-term preparation - the earlier you start, the more effectively it works.
Can I track my progress? expand_more
Yes. Premedis shows you how much of the material you have mastered, which topics are your weak spots and how consistent your studying has been, so you always know where you stand.
Devices and account
Which devices does Premedis run on? expand_more
Premedis is available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android (phones and tablets).
Does Premedis work on a tablet? expand_more
Yes, Premedis is optimised for iPhone, iPad and Android tablets.
Will I lose my progress if I switch phones? expand_more
No. Your progress is stored in the cloud and is restored on the new device as soon as you sign in.
Price and subscription
Is the app free? expand_more
You can download and use the app for free with a daily limit of 20 questions. That's enough to study regularly and build a solid habit. If you want to learn without limits, you can subscribe to Premedis Pro.
How much does Premedis Pro cost? expand_more
Premedis Pro is available as a monthly or quarterly subscription. Pricing varies by country, so you'll always find the current price for yours in the App Store or Google Play. Either way it's a fraction of what tutoring or a prep course costs.
Can my parents buy the subscription for me? expand_more
Of course. Payment goes securely through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, so they can use the card linked to the family account. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.
How do I cancel my subscription? expand_more
The subscription is managed by the store you bought it in - cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings or in the Google Play subscription settings. You keep Pro access until the end of the period you've already paid for.
