The Blueberry Potato FAQ and Site Usage

Ask Me Questions On Discord

What is the purpose of this site?
To allow students and everyone else to answer and create multiple choice questions to share with fellow knowledge seekers. For example, many medical students are tested exclusively by multiple choice questions during their two years of medical school school and STEP/COMAT exams. While multiple resources exist for studying USMLE and NBOME content (Amboss, BnB, Anki, Sketchy, etc.), few (or no) resources exist that allow students to create questions based on materials covered in lectures specific to their own school. This site will allow anyone to create and share testable material specific to their learning objective
How many questions have users asked and answered on this site?
As of December 1, 2024, over 287,000 questions have been asked and answered.
What can I do on this site?
  • Test yourself with multiple choice questions (online) submitted by your peers on material taught in your medical school curriculum
  • Submit your own questions and answers in a multiple choice format
  • Rate the quality and difficulty of questions submitted by your peers to ensure only the best questions are presented as study materials
  • Download unique exams in PDF format for offline practice and study (currently 10, 25, or 40 question tests are available)
  • Contribute to a growing bank of institutional knowledge useful for yourself and to future medical students

Why such a dumb name for the web site?
A long time ago, a young man lived in a small duplex in Moscow, Idaho, working toward his undergraduate degree in an obscure discipline called "zoology". After an evening of festivities, many friends remained in the apartment discussing the merits of how Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album was a perfect soundtrack for L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz". As the clock struck the midnight hour, the gathering looked up to find a lone figure standing in the doorway, perhaps surprised by our presence.

In his hands, he held a plate of leftover dinner balanced like the scales of Lady Justice, see-sawing between the guilt and innocence of a midnight drunk with no memory of the last few hours.

The plate wobbled and made its decision. The shiny aluminum tin fell to the floor, the antithesis of a cat landing on all four feet as it landed upside-down, the strangely satisfying "plop" of mashed potatoes sticking to linoleum recognizable to all of us. He looked at us. We looked at him.

"You made me drop my blueberry-potato," he said.

His leftovers. Our amusement. We haven't stopped making fun of him for that. This site is named in recognition of that event.

Why did you create this site?
I've seen dozens of multiple-choice practice tests get passed around between students, and then get lost in the shuffle when we are studying for exams. This site is designed to be a central repository for those questions/exams so they don't get lost. From practice tests to recitation questions to student-generated questions, this site will consolidate the highest quality questions that help you achieve better scores on your med schoole exams.
What are you getting out of this?
I've liked programming ever since I was a kid punching BASIC code into a TRS-80 before I had my first Nintendo Entertainment System. This site lets me practice those skills and is a nice break from all the medical knowledge we need to cram in our brains. Unless this site gets extremely popular, it will be free to all medical students or anyone who wants to torture themselves with the knowledge we are all responsible for.
What if I have more questions?
You can email support@blueberrypotato.com. I appreciate any and all feedback on the questions, site improvements, and what you'd like to see out of this site. No guarantees on response time, as I'm a busy medical student like yourselves, and some features may take more or less time to implement depending on the coding required.
