If I use the flash cards, then do I need other study materials?
Our flashcards are designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the material needed for the QME Competency Exam. The Flashcards utilize a Question-and-Answer format and we strongly suggest that you memorize all of the answers. If you'd like to supplement your preparation or choose not to purchase the flashcards, we recommend reviewing the two documents in the "Extra Credit" section of our website (www.QmeExam.com) for additional insight and a higher chance of success on the exam.
Why should I choose your digital flashcards over a 12-hour QME writing course?
Our digital flashcards are specifically designed to help you pass the QME Competency Examination, with an emphasis on the most important and relevant information. In contrast, 12-hour writing courses are not focused on helping you pass the examination, but rather on teaching you how to write a medical legal report. With a 50% failure rate, the QME Competency Examination is not something to take lightly and it's important to use a study guide that is tailored to the specific test. Our flashcards have been tested and proven to be the most efficient way to pass the examination.
Consider this: by dedicating 12 hours to studying our flashcards, we guarantee you will pass the QME Competency Examination! In contrast, a 12-hour writing course may or may not offer the same level of success. If you have time to spare, then you may consider taking a 12-hour writing course as an additional resource. By the way, most users of our flashcards only require 1 day of studying in order to pass! Don't waste your time with a 12-hour writing course, when you can study our flashcards for just 1 day and be guaranteed to pass the QME Competency Examination!

Is 1 day really all I need to study?
YES. This is based on feedback received from prior physicians who used these Flashcards. To get through these in a minimal amount of time, we suggest that you lock yourself in a quiet room without distractions such as music, television, computers or your cell phone. The Flashcards utilize a Question-and-Answer format and we strongly suggest that you memorize each of the answers to each of the Flashcards.
How can I justify the cost of your flashcards?
The cost of our flashcards may seem high, but it is due to the extensive time and energy we have spent compiling the most relevant and essential information for the examination. With a known failure rate of 50%, and the test only offered twice a year, passing the QME Competency Examination in one try is essential for any physician looking to become a Qualified Medical Evaluator in the State of California. Each month, a QME can generate thousands of dollars of business, so the opportunity cost of failing the test is high. Investing in our flashcards is an investment in your future success. With the help of our highly effective study materials, you'll be able to pass the exam on your first try. Invest in our flashcards today and pass with confidence.
What have you learned from your users who have failed?
During the last examination that took place in October 2023, 100% of our users passed the examination! However, in the past, we have had Doctors fail. We have used the cases of failures to analyze what went wrong. Upon review of their flashcard usage statistics, we found that the overwhelming issue was confusion between two types of memory retrieval: recognition and recall. Recognition refers to our ability to “recognize” an event or piece of information as being familiar. Recall is the ability to recall something from memory without assistance or helpful cues. In other words, recognition is less cognitive effort. The Doctors who failed did not finish reviewing all of the flashcards, and/or viewed each flashcard only one or two times. Due to the high-yield nature of these flashcards, users must memorize each of the flashcards! Users need to be able to recall the answers to the prompts without any assistance from recognition memory.
