Yes.

The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Assessment and Diagnosis (History and physical, Differential diagnosis and Diagnostic tests); Pharmacology and Prescribing (Drug classes, Interactions and Prescribing safety); Health Promotion and Screening (USPSTF screening, Immunisations and Counselling); Women's, Paediatric and Older Adult Care (Reproductive health, Growth and development and Geriatrics); Chronic Disease Management (Diabetes and cardiovascular, Respiratory and Renal and endocrine). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.
