EMREE Subject-Specific Tests: Practise One Discipline at a Time

Tests for every blueprint discipline

*Our arithmetic from the published percentages; the blueprint gives percentages only and allows ±5% per category.

How subject tests work

• Pick a discipline and the number of questions you want.
• Choose a mode: tutor mode shows the explanation after each answer; timed mode runs a clock at the exam’s average pace of 1.5 minutes per question.
• Review your answers with full explanations, distractor reasoning, learning points and references.
• Track your progress by subject over time.

Every question is tagged to an official outline heading, so within a subject you can see which areas, such as Nephrology in Internal Medicine or Trauma in Surgery, need more work. All questions are original four-option single-best-answer items, not recalled exam questions.

Subject tips from the official outline

• Internal Medicine: the longest outline. Work system by system rather than taking random sets.
• Obstetrics and Gynaecology: a single long list; split it into obstetrics, gynaecology and wider practice.
• Paediatrics: also revise the paediatric topics listed under Internal Medicine and Surgery headings.
• Surgery: include the subspecialties (urology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology).
• Family Medicine: the official outline lists Ethics and Patient Safety only, so expect professionalism and safety scenarios.
• Psychiatry: a short list of 13 items, tested in depth.
• Public Health: practise biostatistics and screening calculations until they are automatic.

Measuring coverage within a subject

Because each question is tagged to a heading from the official content outline, your subject results can be broken down by topic. In Surgery, for example, you can see separately how you perform in Basic Principles, General Surgery, Trauma & Acute Care Surgery and the subspecialties. This matters because the blueprint states that no single exam covers every part of the outline: you cannot predict which topics will appear, so even coverage across headings is a safer strategy than deep study of a few favourites.

Building subject tests into your plan (our recommendation)

1. Read a topic, then immediately take a short subject test on it in tutor mode.
2. When you finish a discipline, take a longer timed subject test to check retention.
3. Revisit each discipline every two to three weeks so earlier subjects do not fade.
4. Once all subjects are covered, move to mixed timed practice tests and full-length mocks.

Time spent per subject should roughly follow the blueprint weights, with extra time for the areas your diagnostic flagged.

Tutor mode or timed mode for subject tests?

Use tutor mode when a subject is new or weak. Seeing the explanation immediately helps you connect each question to the underlying principle, and you can read around a topic while it is fresh. Switch to timed mode once your accuracy in tutor mode is steady. Timed subject tests show whether you can recall the same knowledge at exam pace, without the cue of the previous explanation. Many candidates find their score drops slightly at first in timed mode; that is normal and usually recovers within a few sessions.

Whichever mode you choose, review your incorrect answers before starting the next set, and bookmark any question you want to revisit (bookmarks are included from the Standard plan).

Which plan do I need?

Subject-specific tests across all seven banks are included from the Starter plan (AED 99 for 30 days), which also gives you tutor and timed modes, explanations and basic progress tracking. Standard (AED 199 for 90 days) adds full-length mocks, custom tests, bookmarks, weak-area practice and study plans. Premium (AED 299 for 180 days) adds advanced analytics, extended practice sets and priority support. VAT is applied at checkout where applicable. See the pricing page. Practice scores are a guide to your readiness, not a prediction of your EMREE result, and no mock test can guarantee a pass.
