The four stations

Rotational basis, eight minutes at each. Click a station to browse its full bank, or run the simulator to face them under the clock.

What's inside

Instrument & drug cards

Every device gets the same structure the examiner works through: how to identify it, parts and structure, indications, contraindications, complications and the follow-up questions that actually get asked.

Current guidelines

NRP 9th edition (2025 AHA/AAP) with a dedicated 25-question update section, and the NIS and IAP ACVIP schedules side by side.

Original diagrams

Labelled diagrams drawn for this site — the Venturi principle, the nebuliser baffle, ET tube anatomy, the intraosseous landmark, the NRP algorithm and more.

Timed 8-minute rotation

A live countdown per station with the real rotation order, self-scoring out of 15, and a result that names your weakest station.

Search everything

One search box across every question, card and follow-up in a station. Look up "cold chain", "MR SOPA" or "compartment syndrome" the moment it comes up on rounds.

Print-friendly

Every page prints with all answers expanded, so a station can be taken into a study group or read on paper the night before.

The viva in context

Viva voce is 60 of the 300 practical marks — but it is the component where preparation pays back fastest, because the question bank is finite and the format is predictable.
