Programs run Prepry in one of two ways. Choosing deliberately matters, because it determines how much of your time the platform takes and what you get back.

This article covers the choice and the questions educators ask most. For click-by-click mechanics, see the Educator's Guide.

Students work through Prepry on their own. You do not assign anything. You open the dashboard when you want to see where people stand.

You can see, per cohort and per student, their readiness score, mock exam average, question coverage and mastery, performance broken out by exam domain, which videos they have watched, and their full attempt history.

Use this when you are supplementing a course rather than teaching from the platform, when students are preparing for boards after coursework has ended, or when you want visibility without adding to your own workload.

What it gives you: early warning. You can see a student sliding weeks before they would have told you, and you can see which domain is weak across the whole cohort, which tells you what to reteach.

You build assignments, set the dates, publish them to a cohort, and grade from a gradebook.

You control the assignment type, which questions are included, how many, the time limit, when students may review their answers, and whether flashcards and notes are available during the attempt.

Use this when you are teaching a registry review course, when you want a structured week-by-week path, or when you need graded work.

What it gives you: pacing. Left alone, most students under-test themselves early and panic late. Assignments put the baseline mock in week one where it belongs.

A common pattern: assignments to set the rhythm, a weekly mock and some targeted remediation, with observer mode running underneath to catch the students who are quietly falling behind between checkpoints.

Three types, and the difference is what the student can see and use during the attempt.

Why the tools get switched off: a Study Session is meant to teach, so the student should have every aid available. A Quiz or Mock Exam is meant to measure, and a measurement taken with the answers within reach does not tell you anything you can act on.

When you build an assignment you choose how questions are generated:

Two options, and this is your main lever for assessment integrity:

No. Prepry does not lock the browser or prevent a student from switching windows.

That is a deliberate design choice. Prepry was built as a preparation platform students use on their own phones, tablets, and laptops, largely outside supervised settings, so proctoring controls were not part of it.

If you need assessment integrity, the practical levers are the ones above: set review to after the lock date, use a time limit tight enough that looking answers up costs more than it gains, and use different random for each student so there is no shared answer key to circulate. For genuinely high-stakes graded exams, run them in your own proctored environment and use Prepry for everything leading up to that.

Yes. Assignments can be duplicated to another cohort at any time, so you build it once and carry it forward year after year. You can also save an assignment as a draft and publish it when the term starts.

Everything. A Prepry subscription is not sold per specialty. A student preparing for abdomen also has physics, OB/GYN, vascular, echocardiography, and the rest available.

This matters more than it sounds for your graduates. Someone who passes one registry and later needs another, often because a smaller hospital needs them credentialed in something else, still has access to the material.

Yes. Prepry has a Canvas partnership and the integration is configured on our side. Your IT department coordinates with us to finish the setup. Once connected, an assignment you create appears in Canvas, and students click through from there into Prepry.

Other learning management systems are being evaluated. Ask us about yours and we will tell you honestly where it stands.

Send us your student names and email addresses and we provision the cohort, normally within 24 hours.

Use the email address students will actually log in with. Access is tied to the exact address you give us, so a mismatch is the single most common reason a student cannot get in on day one. If a student's address changes, tell us and we will update it rather than having them create a second account.

Students can also self-join with a classroom code: Settings, then Account Management, then Join Classroom. Their work then feeds your dashboard and your assignments appear in their inbox.

Yes. Faculty accounts come with full access to the educator dashboard and to the student-side content, so you can see exactly what your students see. Send us the list of email addresses.

Instructor-authored questions are supported in the assignment builder. Ask us to confirm the current state for your account before you plan a course around it.

The dashboard shows a lot. These are the signals worth your attention:
