Blueprint's Med School Study Planner allows you to add practice tests (practice exams) to your study schedule. As you complete practice tests, you can record your scores and track your progress over time.
Adding Practice Tests to your Study Plan
You can add practice tests to a study plan using the Practice Tests section found on the Edit Schedule page.
To add a practice test select Add a Practice Test. Input a test name and select the date you want to take your practice test.
Use the Settings section on the practice test page to choose whether or not to see other tasks on the same day as your scheduled practice tests.
By default, your plan will be set to "Do not schedule tasks from any plan." For any plan with this setting, Blueprint's Med School Study Planner will prevent any other tasks from being scheduled on the same day as a practice test.
If you do not want tasks from your selected study plan on the same day as the practice test, but do want to continue to see tasks on that day from other study plans, choose "Do not schedule tasks from this plan."
If you would like tasks to be scheduled as normal on a day with a practice test, select "Allow tasks to be scheduled on the same day."
Tracking Practice Test Completion
Once a practice test is added to a study plan, it will appear on your study schedule as a task. To mark the practice test as complete, click on the gray checkmark. It will turn blue to indicate that the practice test is complete. At that time, you will be able to add the score you achieved on the practice test to the task box. You can add or edit the score at any time. Marking practice exams and their reviews as complete is a manual process. To do this, navigate to the specific exam or review in your study plan, click into the assignment, select a completion date, and change the status to "Complete."
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Review Not Marking as Complete Automatically
Reviews do not auto-complete after viewing. You must manually update the status in your study plan.
If the review is scheduled on a past date, move it to today or a future date before marking it complete.
Unable to Find Reviews in the Study Plan
Navigate to today’s date in your study plan.
Click the "+" button and type "review" in the search bar to locate and add the relevant review.
Display Issues with Completion Status
If the status does not update after marking it complete, clear your browser’s cache and cookies. This often resolves display inconsistencies.
FAQs
Can I reset Practice Exam 1 after marking it complete?
No, Practice Exam 1 cannot be reset. Once marked as complete, it is finalized in your study plan.
What if I can’t see my past events to mark them complete?
Use the search function in your study plan to locate and add the review directly.
