How to use LapUp MD

Start here

What is this?: A reading and review tool for NEET PG, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. You read a topic, practise it with spaced repetition, sit full timed mock exams, and watch a strength map fill in. It is a study aid, not a clinical reference.
Where do I start?: Make a study plan. Give it your exam date and the hours you actually have, and it turns the whole library into a short list for today. Everything else works better once a plan exists.
What does it cost?: Nothing. Everything is free during the beta and there is no payment anywhere in the app.

What am I meant to do each day?: Open Today. It shows the topics your plan scheduled and the cards that are due. Read the topic, practise it, and let the schedule bring it back. That loop is the whole product.
How do I rate a card?: Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and it decides when the card returns. Rate honestly. Rating everything Easy tells the scheduler you know things you do not, and it will stop showing them.
Should I work through the whole library?: No. The plan already orders topics by exam yield and by where you are weak. Trust the order.
My due count says 500 plus.: That is a cap, not your real number. Practice takes them in priority order, so start at the top and the count comes down.
Do mock exams count towards my memory?: Yes. Questions you answered are rated and feed the schedule. Questions you left blank are never rated, so an unfinished mock does not damage anything.

What is it measuring?: Concepts, not cards. One card usually carries two or three concepts, so answering it moves several ideas at once. That is why the map moves faster than your card count suggests.
What do Strong, Shaky and Weak mean?: How reliably you have recalled the concept lately. Use it to choose what to reread. It is a map, not a grade.

How do I read one?: Two lines of tiles. The top line spells the name. The bottom line is the mechanism. Reveal the card and every tile is explained.
Which subjects have them?: Pharmacology, microbiology and biochemistry, where the memorising is worst.

Can I add my own material?: Two ways, and they behave differently on purpose. Type a topic and it is built into the shared library for everyone. Upload a PDF and it stays private to your account: it is read back to you as a list of sections and you choose which ones to build and how deep.
Do my generated cards go into my daily practice?: Not unless you say so. Each generation has a switch. It stays off by default so a study set you made out of curiosity does not take over your revision.
How long does it take?: A study set lands in minutes. Audio takes much longer, which is why it is off by default.

Can I export?: Yes, to apkg or CSV, by whichever scope you pick.
Can I bring my own deck in?: Yes. Import it and it is sorted into the curriculum for you. Imported cards live on their own shelf so they never get mixed up with ours.

Where are the recordings?: Audio is a preview. Some subtopics have a recorded episode and most are still text only. Anything with one shows a Listen control.

It says I am behind.: That is deliberate. The planner works out whether your hours and your exam date fit and tells you plainly when they do not, rather than quietly building a schedule you cannot keep. Raise the hours or move the date and it recalculates.
How does a topic get marked done?: Opening it from your plan marks it done.
I do not want a plan.: Remove it from the planner and practise freely instead. Nothing else stops working.

Why is there no password?: Sign in with Apple or Google only. Fewer things to lose, and we never hold a password.
Can I get my data out, or delete everything?: Both, from Profile. Export gives you everything we hold on you. Delete removes the account and its data, not just your sign in.

The content looks wrong.: Tell us. Profile, then send feedback. It attaches the screen you were on, so you do not have to explain where you were.
Nothing is due and I want to study anyway.: Practice, then choose a discipline or a subtopic and start a session. The plan is a default, not a cage.

Beta, so some of this will change. If something is confusing, that is worth telling us about.
