Core Revision
The MSRA Core 10
Ten focused minutes of questions a day — the daily anchor that keeps your neural pathways warm, holds back the forgetting curve, and makes sure you never re-learn the same topic twice. On your busiest day, this is the one thing worth doing.
Ten Clinical Problem Solving questions a day from the MSRA CPS bank · single best answer, at exam pace.
Small, smart, and it remembers
Weighted to your week
If your Core Calendar is set up, today’s questions lean towards the topic you’re studying this week — so the Core 10 reinforces the plan instead of pulling against it.
It never forgets a miss
Get one wrong and it doesn’t disappear. It comes back later the same session, and again on future days, until you’ve answered it correctly twice. No topic slips through the cracks.
Targets your weak spots
Anything you’ve flagged Red or Amber in your Core Curriculum gets extra airtime, so your ten minutes always go where they matter most.
Consistency beats intensity
On the days when a full study block feels impossible, the Core 10 is your save point. Ten minutes keeps the door open — it’s far easier to keep a habit warm than to restart a cold one. Done is better than perfect, and a short session you actually finish beats a long one you keep putting off.
