Creating Custom Practice Exams in the New QBank

With the Smarty PANCE QBank, you can build your own targeted practice sessions so you only review the topics you want — perfect for rotation studying, board prep, and focused review.

This feature is called Custom Practice.

Below is the step-by-step guide to help you set it up.

First — Log Into the QBank

Go to: https://exams.smartypance.com

(Note: This is separate from your Smarty PANCE website login.)

How Custom Practice Works

Custom Practice allows you to choose:

✔ Your exam type (PANCE, EOR, PANRE, PANRE-LA, etc.)

✔ The system/topic you want to study

✔ Difficulty level (optional)

✔ Number of questions

✔ Tutor or Timed mode

Your session will then ONLY pull questions that match those filters.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Custom Practice Session

1️⃣ Click Custom Practice in the main menu

2️⃣ Under Blueprint / Topic List, choose your exam

(Example: Internal Medicine EOR)

3️⃣ A section labeled System will appear

4️⃣ Select the system you want to study

Examples:

Musculoskeletal System
Cardiovascular System
Psychiatry & Behavioral Science

👉 Make sure to unselect other systems if you only want one topic area

5️⃣ Scroll down and choose:

Question Difficulty (optional)
Number of Questions
Tutor Mode (shows answer after each question)

or
Timed Mode (simulates exam conditions)

6️⃣ Click Start Practice

Your exam will now ONLY include questions from the system(s) you selected 🎯

Example:

If you choose Internal Medicine EOR → Musculoskeletal System, your session will only include Musculoskeletal questions within Internal Medicine EOR.

About Category Filtering

Right now, Custom Practice allows filtering at the system/topic level only — not at the category level

We know many students would love filtering down to specific categories — and this may be added in the future as the QBank continues to evolve.

For now, the best strategy is:

💡 Choose the exam → Select the system → Build focused sessions

This still gives excellent, high-yield targeted practice.
