QUESTION BANK + ERROR-LOG REMEDIATION
YEAR 1 | PAGE 20C - LEARN FROM EVERY MISS, THEN RE-TEST
QUESTIONS ARE LEARNING TOOLS BEFORE THEY ARE SCORE TOOLS
For each item: identify the task -> commit to an answer -> reconstruct your reasoning -> explain why the correct option is correct -> explain why the strongest distractor is wrong -> tag the error -> repair one concept -> re-test on a NEW item. Percentage correct without this review loop is weak feedback.
E. QUESTION-REVIEW ALGORITHM — 1. Task
What is being asked: mechanism, diagnosis, calculation, experiment, structure, adverse effect, or next step?
E. QUESTION-REVIEW ALGORITHM — 2. Evidence
Which stem clues actually discriminate the answer? Separate signal from incidental detail.
3. Prediction
Generate the expected answer/mechanism before being seduced by the options whenever possible.
4. Distractors
Name the feature that makes the strongest tempting alternative wrong in THIS vignette.
5. Error tag
Classify the miss so remediation fixes the process, not merely the fact tested in one question.
6. Re-test
Use a new vignette/image/graph within 24-72 hours; recognition of the old explanation is not retrieval.
F. YEAR 1 ERROR-LOG TAXONOMY — Knowledge / retrieval
Concept was missing, misunderstood or could not be produced without cues.
F. YEAR 1 ERROR-LOG TAXONOMY — Reasoning / distractor
Facts were present, but the causal chain, discriminator, localization or integration failed.
Graph / units
Axes, equation, units, sign or direction-of-change caused the miss.
Image / practical
Recognition depended on one memorized picture, angle, specimen or lab setup.
Timing / attention
Stem was misread, rushed, overthought or the answer was changed without new evidence.
G. PRACTICE STACK - INTENTIONALLY NOT VIDEO
| UWorld Step 1 | AMBOSS |

G. PRACTICE STACK - INTENTIONALLY NOT VIDEO — QUESTION-BANK MASTERY GATE
- Repeated misses of the same mechanism should disappear on new items; track trends by error type/content domain rather than trusting one isolated percentage. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
