EDAIC Part I — Paper A & Paper B
The exam doesn't test what you know.
It tests what you recall under pressure.
AnesCORE is the system used by clinicians who refuse to sit EDAIC twice. Subtopic-mapped lessons, real-format MTF, timed mocks, and a readiness score grounded in your activity — not a promise.

The reality
You pass or you fail. Nothing in between.
EDAIC Part I passes roughly 60% of candidates. 4 out of 10 come back next year with the same notes, the same method, the same result.

Four steps. Zero filler.
Built around one idea: the exam has a structure. Your prep should mirror it, not translate it.

Ventilation–perfusion mismatch
Quick ReviewStandardDeep DiveExam Summary
Shunt and dead space sit at opposite ends of the V/Q spectrum. True shunt does not respond to 100% oxygen — a fact tested almost every cycle. Anatomical shunt averages 2–5% of cardiac output…

MTF PRACTICE — STEP 03
Regarding spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section:
A
Hypotension is more common than with epidural.
+1
B
Bradycardia results from blockade of T1–T4 cardiac fibres.
+1
C
Aortocaval compression is unrelated to maternal hypotension.
0
D
Phenylephrine is preferred over ephedrine.
—
EXPLANATION · C
Aortocaval compression by the gravid uterus reduces venous return — a primary driver of supine hypotension. Left lateral tilt mitigates it.

Nothing extra.
Mastery & readiness
A heatmap across the syllabus and a readiness score grounded in your activity — not a fake pass-fail prediction.

Spaced repetition
Flashcards graduate intervals based on your ratings. We bring back exactly what you're about to forget.
Weakness mode
Auto-curated practice from the subtopics you keep missing. Stop wasting reps.
Reviewed by clinicians
Nothing publishes without medical review. Each item carries source references — chapter and pages.
Realistic mocks, deep report
60-question Paper A or Paper B, blueprinted across topics, timed runner, and a post-exam report that tells you exactly what to study next.

AI, grounded
An AI tutor that cites every answer.
Most AI tools guess. Ours answers only from the AnesCORE corpus — 675 lessons mapped to the EDAIC syllabus — and shows you the exact source, so you can trust it and verify it.
Ask in plain language
Type a question the way it lands in your head. The assistant retrieves the relevant lessons and answers with the source cited — no invented references, no off-syllabus tangents.
A study plan that adapts
Give it your exam date and target paper. It builds a day-by-day plan around your weakest subtopics and rebalances every night as your scores move.
Explanations on demand
Expand any MTF statement or flashcard into a focused explanation, tied back to the lesson it came from — so a wrong answer becomes the next thing you actually learn.
AnesCORE AI
Grounded in your corpusWhy doesn't a true shunt respond to 100% oxygen?
In a true shunt, blood bypasses ventilated alveoli entirely — so raising FiO₂ never reaches it. Even 100% O₂ leaves the shunt fraction unchanged, which is exactly why it's the bedside test to separate shunt from V/Q mismatch.

New · AnesDose
Hard concepts, drawn until they click.
AnesDose turns the parts of the syllabus you keep re-reading into short, animated explainers — every cascade, circuit and curve drawn step by step. No lectures, no fluff. Watch it build, and it stays.
The Coagulation Cascade
Animated, not narrated
Each clip draws the mechanism in front of you — pathways, pressures and feedback loops assembling piece by piece. What a whiteboard does and a textbook can't.
Mapped to the EDAIC syllabus
Every clip is tied to a canonical topic and reviewed by clinicians — so you're not just watching something slick, you're watching the right thing for the exam.
Made to be re-watched
Replay one before a mock, or loop the part that won't stick until the mechanism is yours — minutes of watching that replace an hour of re-reading.
