The process

How we make questions

You should know where your practice questions come from. They are written to feel like the exam: application, not recitation. Tempting wrong answers. A person reads every item that reaches you.

What we will not ship

  • Out

    No junk options

    Options no hygienist would pick on any patient.

  • Out

    No length cues

    Items you can pass by spotting the longest answer.

  • Out

    No skipped reads

    A draft that skipped a person because a model already liked it.

How a question is made

  1. 01

    Drafted from mistakes students actually make

    Questions are drafted by AI. Wrong answers come from misconceptions students commonly hold. They are not throwaway options, jokes, or choices no hygienist would pick on any client.

  2. 02

    Tried by models that didn't write it

    Independent models that did not write the question try it first, without seeing the key. If they disagree, a person still sees it. Agreement is a note. It is not a shortcut around a human.

  3. 03

    New questions are cited to the published reading list.

    New questions cite a source from the FDHRC published reading list. If a guideline changes, we can find the items that depend on it.

  4. 04

    Read by a person. Every single one.

    No question goes out automatically. A person reads every question that reaches you. One by one. That step is not optional.

  5. 05

    And if we get one wrong

    You can report a question in the app. A reported question is taken out of study right away and reviewed again.
