OrthoPrep 1300

OrthoPrep is a surgeon-authored question bank and revision platform built for candidates sitting the FRCS (Tr & Orth), EBOT, USMLE, ABOS, RACS, MCh, DNB and equivalent international orthopaedic board exams. It is led by Professor Mohamed A. Imam and a senior faculty of examiners.

What it is

• 1,300 original single-best-answer (SBA) questions across the full orthopaedic syllabus.
• Question blueprint calibrated to how examiners actually test candidates — not internet lists.
• Spaced-repetition scheduler that surfaces the items you are most likely to forget, when you are most likely to forget them.
• Full-length timed mocks that mirror the pressure of the real paper.
• Topic-level mastery tracking so revision time goes where it actually matters.
• Worked explanations linked to the underlying evidence and classification system for every item.

Who it is for

• FRCS (Tr & Orth) candidates — the intensive run-up to the UK exit exam.
• EBOT candidates — European board-style questions and mocks.
• International trainees — any system where board-level preparation is needed.

How it works

Vetted OrthoGlobe members get early access to the question bank, the mock exam engine, and the mastery dashboard. Full exam-mode access is planned as a paid tier to fund ongoing question writing and editorial review.

Editorial lead

Professor Mohamed A. Imam is the clinical and editorial lead for OrthoPrep. Every item is authored or reviewed by senior orthopaedic surgeons with the source evidence cited in the explanation.

Note: the OrthoPrep platform itself is an interactive application. This page is a static summary of its scope; the working platform ships alongside OrthoGlobe Phase 1.
