Our story

We were once students in the Faculty of Medicine and we were exposed to tests almost daily on a continuous basis throughout the six academic years. The idea came to us to collect these questions and models available on medical websites and medical sources to draw an easier path for the coming generations after us so that they have this encyclopedia that is in front of you now, making it easier for you to practice on the question models in every medical subject until you graduate from your university and then prepare for the international equivalency tests. We did not forget our brothers who are looking for admission to medical universities, as we provided them with a very large library of questions included in the admission tests for medical universities around the world. With this encyclopedia that you see now, be sure that you will not come across a question in any medical test that you did not see in our medical encyclopedia
