SAGES Question Bank is a set of customizable, topic-based quizzes. Test your knowledge on case-based questions and measure yourself against your friends and colleagues (anonymously!) Each question allows you to assess your personal level of confidence. Once submitted, the answer and rationale display along with additional reference material. If you don’t get the right answer the first time, read the explanation and take the question again. Track your quiz history and get performance metrics by topic, while earning up to 17 CME credits.
How to Use
You may utilize the “Build Your Own Exam” option at the top of the page. You can then select a random assortment of questions from all topics or select specific topics on which you'd like to focus. You will also be able to determine the number of questions you would like to take within that option. Alternatively, you can choose to focus on one topic at a time and take the assessments separately. Once you've taken an exam, the topics will display your number of questions answered, number and percentage correct and your confidence percentage for each topic.
