IBR Iraqi Board ReviewPrimary exam question bank
Internal Medicine · General Surgery

Everything for the primary, finally in one place.

The material for the Iraqi and Arab Board primary has always existed. The problem was never scarcity — it was fragmentation. It sits in Telegram channels, private WhatsApp groups, paid apps, a senior's Google Drive and a photograph of somebody's photocopy. No candidate has ever seen all of it at once. This is all of it at once: 42,887 questions from 42 sources, one bank, one search box.

The actual problem

Scattered everywhere, assembled nowhere.

Every candidate rebuilds the same collection from scratch, badly, in the months before the exam — and still sits down not knowing what they never saw.

What it does not have

The gaps, stated plainly.

A question bank that hides its holes is worse than a smaller one that admits them. These are ours.

  • 7,425questions have no explanation yet. The source gives the answer key but no reasoning. They are loaded anyway, because the question and its answer are still worth having — and every one of them carries a visible "no explanation yet" panel instead of a blank space or an invented paragraph.
  • 83%of the bank is worked through in full. That is 35,462 questions with the reasoning written out. The rest is answer-key only, and the app never blurs the difference.
  • MixedThe text is machine-extracted and not fully proofread. Spot checks pass, but nobody has read every question in a bank this size. Expect the occasional layout artefact, and treat a strange-looking option as a possible extraction error rather than a trick.
  • DerivedThe Internal Medicine weighting is not official. The council publishes no blueprint for it, so the emphasis is derived from a standard self-assessment bank's chapter distribution. It is labelled as derived everywhere it is used. The General Surgery weighting is the published one.
How you study it

Four ways in. No configuration screens.

One

Sit an exam

The real formats as one-click presets — 150 questions in 3 hours for the current surgical primary, 80 in 3 hours for medicine — scored against the 70% pass mark, with a straight answer on whether you passed.

Two

Random

One button. No resource picker, no system chips, no length. It starts.

Three

Solve everything

A checklist of every question in a book. Tick straight through it and see exactly what is left, session after session.

Four

Past sittings

Drill one real year of the exam on its own, anywhere from 2009 to 2026.

A dated study plan back from your exam date, a weak-areas session built from your own mistakes, and analytics that tell you where you stand — all on top.
