Aquifer PracticeSmart is much more than just another question bank. Each of the 1,000+ questions are the same ones students face during clinical rotations.
PracticeSmart fuels self-directed learning, giving students more control. Health professions students must cover a lot of information and skills in a finite period of time. PracticeSmart empowers them to focus on topics most meaningful to their learning.
Every question and explanation connects back to trusted case content written by leading educators. Students have access to all PracticeSmart questions associated with their subscribed content. PracticeSmart is an ideal complement to our Calibrate assessments.

- A safe space for students to check clinical knowledge and identify knowledge gaps
- Easy to use with answers linking directly back to Aquifer’s trusted content
- A flexible, customizable quiz builder to fit individual learning needs
- More than 1,000 clinically-focused questions with answer explanations and certainty ratings to find true knowledge gaps
- Included at no additional cost with all subscriptions
BE READY FOR REAL PATIENTS
