Free USMLE+COMLEX-Style Practice Question Prompt

This document provides a specialized prompt designed to generate USMLE- and COMLEX-style practice questions directly from lecture material. It allows students to upload their lecture PowerPoint or study document into ChatGPT and automatically generate board-style clinical questions that test the exact concepts emphasized in that lecture.

The purpose of this prompt is to replicate the style and difficulty of medical board exam questions while keeping the content strictly aligned with the material taught in the lecture. Instead of studying passively from slides, students can actively test themselves with vignette-style questions that simulate real exam scenarios. The questions are designed to be second-order in difficulty, requiring the student to apply knowledge rather than simply recall facts.

The prompt instructs ChatGPT to use the Learning Objectives from the lecture as the framework for generating questions, ensuring that every objective in the lecture is covered. It generates multiple questions for each learning objective and tracks the student’s progress until they have correctly answered questions covering each topic. This structure creates an organized, systematic way to review lecture content while reinforcing key concepts through repeated testing.

Each generated question is written in clinical vignette format, similar to questions used on medical board examinations. The prompt requires the AI to include patient scenarios, risk factors, clinical findings, and diagnostic clues while avoiding obvious hints that would reveal the answer directly. Questions contain five answer choices with only one clearly correct option, helping students practice the exact style of reasoning required on board exams.

The prompt also includes built-in features that allow users to track their performance and control the study session. Students can request tables summarizing which topics they have answered correctly or incorrectly, remove specific questions or concepts from the pool, or request the next question in the sequence. This makes the prompt function like a personalized question bank generated from your own lecture material.

Clear usage instructions are included within the document, explaining how to upload your lecture file and paste the prompt into ChatGPT so it can begin generating questions. Once used, the system continuously tracks progress across learning objectives and continues testing until the user has answered the required number of questions correctly for each topic.

Overall, this document serves as a simple but powerful tool for turning lecture slides into an interactive board-style question bank, helping students actively engage with their course material and prepare for high-stakes exams such as the USMLE or COMLEX.
