What you get
Everything you need to revise properly, in one app
Not a PDF dump and not a random quiz generator. MedUp knows which units you registered for, which concepts you are weakest on, and what you should do today.
Spaced-repetition flashcards
An SM-2 scheduler puts each card back in front of you just before you would have forgotten it — so the hours you spend cramming actually stay with you into finals.
Mastery you can trust
Every lesson, unit and course carries a mastery level based on what you currently know — most recent answer correct, and recent enough to still count. No flattering lifetime averages.
Built for no data
Download a unit once and practise it anywhere — hostel, ward round, night call, long bus ride home. Your answers queue on the device and sync themselves when you reconnect.
Timed mock tests
Sit a paper under exam conditions. The countdown runs off the wall clock, so closing the app or taking a call does not buy you extra minutes — exactly like the real thing.
Goals, streaks and badges
Tell MedUp what you want to master and by when. It works out how many questions a day that takes, tracks whether you are on course, and nudges you when you are not — light-touch, never a slot machine.
The mastery ladder
Five tiers, not a meaningless percentage
A raw score reads like a grade you already failed. A tier reads like a journey you are on. Every lesson, unit and course in MedUp sits on the same five-step ladder, and the segmented bar shows exactly where you are.
Not started
You have not answered a question here yet.
Attempted
You have made a start. The topic is on the board.
Familiar
You reliably handle the core recall questions.
Stuffed
You apply the concept, not just recall it — proved on a fresh draw.
Hyper-Stuffed
You cleared the Mastery Challenge: three spaced tests at 90%.
No false comfort
Mastery that expires, like real knowledge does
Most apps count a question as "learnt" the first time you get it right, then never look back. Six weeks before finals that leaves you with a screen full of green and a head full of nothing.
- Your most recent answer is what counts. Right in March and wrong last week means you do not know it.
- Evidence ages out. A correct answer keeps a question "known" for a while, then it comes back around to be re-proved.
- A tier has to be earned on a fresh draw. Covering the material is the measurement; a clean session proves you did not just memorise the question order.
- Your weakest concept is served first. MedUp picks the next questions from the idea within the lesson you are shakiest on, not at random.
How it works
Three steps, then just show up daily
Register your units
Pick your university, your programme and your level, then tick the units you are actually taking this session. MedUp only ever shows you those — no wading through a fourth-year syllabus in your second year.
Practise what's next
Open the app and there is one card waiting: the lesson to do now, sized to the time you have. Answer, read the explanation, move on. Flashcards due today are queued behind it.
Watch the ring fill
Every answer rolls up through lesson, sub-unit, unit and course. Set a goal for a date, and MedUp turns it into a daily number and tells you honestly whether you are on track.
Offline-first, not offline-ish
Because the network is not always there
MedUp is not a website in an app shell. Every screen reads from a database on your phone. The internet's only job is to top that database up and carry your progress to your other devices.
- Practise with zero bars. Sessions, flashcards, explanations and images all come off the device.
- Nothing is lost. Your attempts queue locally and upload in the background — no spinner, no "please retry".
- Light on data. New content is fetched incrementally — only what changed since last time, never a full re-download.
- Change phone, keep everything. Sign in on a new device and your registrations, streak and mastery come back down with you.
Coverage
Mapped to the curriculum you are actually sitting
Content is organised the way your school teaches it — course, unit, sub-unit, lesson — so a topic in MedUp lines up with a topic in your lecture handout.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is MedUp made for Nigerian medical schools?
Yes. MedUp is built specifically around the Nigerian MBBS curriculum. When you sign up you choose your university, your programme and your level, then register the units you are taking this session. Everything you browse and practise is scoped to those units, and unregistering a unit hides it without ever deleting the progress you made on it.
Does MedUp work without an internet connection?
Yes — this is the point of the app. Questions, flashcards and your progress live in a database on your device, so you can practise on the ward, in a lecture hall, on a bus or during a blackout. Your answers queue up and sync automatically the next time you have a connection.
Who writes and reviews the questions?
Questions and flashcards are drafted by our team with reference to internationally standard textbooks — Guyton, Robbins and the like — for concepts only. Nothing is copied or closely paraphrased from a source text.
Every item then has to pass review by an MBBS-qualified reviewer before it is published. Drafts are invisible to students.
What subjects does MedUp cover?
Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology are live today. More basic and clinical science subjects are in the writing queue and are released continuously — a lesson appears in your unit the moment it is reviewed and published, with no app update needed.
What does "mastery" actually mean here?
Mastery is what you currently know, not what you once got right. A lesson's strength is how many of its questions your most recent answer got correct and recently enough to still count, out of how many exist. A tier clears when that coverage is high enough and you pass a session on a freshly drawn set of questions.
Because evidence expires, a level can fall on a quiet week. That is deliberate — mastery you do not maintain is not mastery, and a topic that slips is exactly the topic you should revise next.
What is the Mastery Challenge?
It is the last step to Hyper-Stuffed: three tests, spaced across separate days, each needing 90% on questions you have not just seen. Passing all three locks in the top tier. Failing one takes Stuffed away until you re-earn it — which is what makes the top tier worth something.
How much does MedUp cost?
You can create an account and start practising for free. Subscription details and current pricing are shown in the app, and any purchase is handled through the Google Play billing system on your device.
Is MedUp a substitute for lectures or textbooks?
No. MedUp is a revision and self-assessment tool designed to sit alongside your lectures, textbooks and clinical teaching. The content is educational material only — it is not medical advice and must never be used to guide the care of a real patient.
Is there an iPhone version?
MedUp is built for both Android and iOS. Android is available now on Google Play; if you are on iPhone, email support@medup.com.ng and we will let you know the moment the iOS build is live.
Your next exam is closer than you think
Install MedUp, register your units, and do fifteen minutes before you sleep tonight. That is the whole method.
