His lessons, and the questions after it

14 topics, 47 lessons, 442 questions. You watch the test done, then you answer the questions — and the app tracks what you know test by test.

Why this answer is right
  • The test, demonstrated

    Most lessons carry his own lab footage — the reagents, the colour change, the machine — then ask you about what you just watched.

  • Principle, reagent, normal value

    The questions ask what the examiner asks: why the method works, what the range is, what the result means.

  • It comes back to what you missed

    Wrong answers resurface a few days later, so the tests you found hard are the ones you see most.

How it works

Four steps from the bench to the viva

01Material

Take a test at a time

Open a topic and take its tests one at a time. Most lessons carry his own lab footage: the principle, the procedure, the reagents, and what a positive actually looks like on the bench.

  • Filmed in his lab
  • 47 lessons · 14 topics

02Practice

Answer, don't just reread

442 questions on methods, normal values and interpretation. You find out which tests you actually know before the examiner does.

  • 442 questions
  • Several formats

03Review

It brings back what's fading

What you got wrong returns in a few days; what you know shows up less often. You see your level per topic, so exam week is a check rather than a relearn.

04Ask

Stuck? Ask it.

When a result or a method doesn't make sense, ask. The answer comes from the course material and points to the lesson it's in.

  • From the course

Meet Dr. Amit

“Myself Dr Amitkumar Maheshwari. I am a medical educator.”

I teach Biochemistry in a medical college department in Gujarat, and I work in the kind of lab you are examined in.

In 2019 I started filming the practicals — one test at a time, in the real lab, with the reagents and the machines. During the lockdown, when first-years could not get into a lab at all, those videos became their practical class. I never stopped making them.

This course is that teaching in order: every test on your syllabus, with the questions I would ask you about it.

  • MBBS, M.P. Shah Medical College · MD Biochemistry, GMC Bhavnagar
  • Teaching medical biochemistry in a college department since 2014
  • 595 videos on Biochemistry Basics by Dr Amit, since 2019

FAQ

Questions students ask

His videos are free. Why pay for this?

The videos stay free. They are also spread across six years and thirty playlists, which is why you end up searching at midnight. This is the same teaching in one place, in syllabus order, with the questions asked back to you — the part watching a video cannot do.

Will it match my university's practical?

It follows the national CBME practical syllabus every university builds its list from. And you can upload your own syllabus — the app then teaches only what is on it.

Who made the course?

Dr. Amit, from his own teaching. He is a serving medical-college biochemistry teacher with 595 videos and 110K subscribers behind him, and the material here is his. The app only helps while you practise: it marks your answers and explains them from his material.

Set your exam date and the app spreads the 14 topics across the days until then — a few minutes between classes, and the whole practical syllabus is drilled by exam week.
