AMBOSS meets your every study need as you advance through medical school. **Here’s what you’ll find**:

### Side-by-side studying

With AMBOSS, you get more than just a Qbank. As you go through sessions, you’ll be able to delve deep into any topic by opening up the medical library side-by-side with each question.

### A comprehensive Qbank

Browse through challenging USMLE Step-style questions that feature diagnostic materials like lab samples, images, and more. Plus, you can train under exam-day conditions by simulating the USMLE interface with our exam mode feature.

### A fully equipped library for Step 1 and Step 2

Get the full scope of Step 1 with the basic sciences area of the library. You’ll find traditionally defined disciplines like anatomy behavioral sciences and biochemistry, as well as interdisciplinary areas like genetics and molecular and cell biology. 

All the info you need to score high on Step 2 is in the AMBOSS library, including everything you need to answer ethics and social science questions. 

### Highlighting and high-yield mode

Get the most essential information from any article at a glance with the highlighting tool. To get through articles as quickly as possible, condense them by turning on high-yield mode.

### Personal assessment tools

Enable the [learning radar to highlight the information](https://blog.amboss.com/us/learning-radar) you missed during your Qbank sessions in red in the articles. For a complete overview of your progress and personalized recommendations, refer to your [personal analysis](https://blog.amboss.com/us/study-with-personal-analysis). 

## Take and Save Personal Notes

Bring your own interpretations and outside knowledge to the table by adding personal notes and comments to the articles. The more you add, the more you can centralize your study in a single resource.

### AMBOSS Add-On for Anki

The wildly popular [add-on for Anki](https://www.amboss.com/us/anki-amboss) allows you to connect high-yield articles with all your favorite decks. You can hover over terms in the flashcards to see pop-up definitions or open the relevant AMBOSS article right there in your flashcard.
