Written answers, actually marked.
Most apps stop at multiple choice, because multiple choice is all they can grade. Clinicoid marks five kinds of answer — including the ones you have to write out.
Which nerve winds around the surgical neck of the humerus?
- AMusculocutaneous
- BAxillary
- CRadial
- DMedian
Marked the moment you answer — never at the end of the paper.
The axillary nerve leaves the posterior cord, passes through the quadrangular space and wraps the surgical neck — which is why a fracture there costs you the deltoid.

Practice, exam or solved
Practice marks each question the moment you answer it. Exam stays quiet until the results page. Solved shows every answer from the start, for the times you want to read a paper rather than sit it.

Scored out of marks, not ticks
A three-mark question can come back two out of three. Your score is marks earned over marks available — the same arithmetic the real paper uses.

Whole questions stay whole
One stem with parts (a), (b) and (c) stays one question, in the order it was printed, instead of being pulled apart into three flashcards.

The ones people ask before they download anything — in plain words, with the whole answer rather than a link to it.
- Clinicoid
- Clinicoid is a study app for Egyptian medical students, built around the syllabus of Cairo University's Faculty of Medicine — Kasr Al Ainy. Inside it are a question bank of exam questions, the books those questions came from, an AI tutor, flashcards, a study timer, and a record of what you have got right and wrong. It is a study aid. It is not a source of medical advice.
- Coid
- Coid is the AI tutor inside Clinicoid, named separately because it is the one part that can be wrong. It answers out of your module's own books, through our own server, and shows you the pages it read.
- Module
- A module is the block of the course you are studying now. Clinicoid shows one at a time — switch it and the questions, the mistakes, the search and the tutor all move with it. Last term never turns up in this term.
- Mark scheme
- A mark scheme is the list of points a written answer earns marks for. Clinicoid marks against the question's own scheme, point by point, rather than handing back a single overall impression of what you wrote.
Five kinds of answer, and who marks each one
Four are marked on the phone, instantly and at no cost. The fifth is the one most apps leave out.
| Question type | How you answer it | How it is marked |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | Tap one option. | Instantly, with why each wrong option is wrong. |
| True or false | Tap true or false on each statement. | Instantly, statement by statement. |
| Matching | Drag each item to the slot it belongs in. | Instantly, slot by slot, extras included. |
| Completion | Type the missing words into the sentence. | Instantly, against that blank's accepted answers. |
| Written | Write, or dictate, a full answer in your own words. | Against the question's own mark scheme, point by point. |
What is Clinicoid?
Clinicoid is a study app for Egyptian medical students, on iPhone, iPad and Android. It follows the syllabus of Kasr Al Ainy (Cairo University's Faculty of Medicine). It has past papers and exam questions with explanations, the textbooks, an AI tutor called Coid, flashcards, a study timer and your progress stats.
It is a study aid, not medical advice.
Who is it for?
Medical students. It follows the Kasr Al Ainy syllabus, but anyone can use it for free.
Kasr Al Ainy students also get free AI. Students elsewhere need Clinicoid Pro for the AI.
Is it free?
Yes, at every faculty. No trial and no card. Past papers, explanations and your stats are all free.
Clinicoid Pro is optional. It adds access to Coid Pro, Clinicoid's own exercises and mock exams, and a much bigger AI allowance. Your faculty's papers are never paid.
What devices does it work on?
iPhone, iPad and Android. Your account syncs across all of them.
Where do the questions come from?
Most are your faculty's real past papers and question banks. We do not change them.
The rest are Clinicoid's own exercises and mock exams, written by us and clearly labelled. These need Clinicoid Pro.
What kinds of question are there?
Multiple choice, true or false, complete the sentence, matching, and written answers. Some questions include images.
What is Coid?
Coid is the AI tutor. It answers from your module's books and shows the pages it used, so you can check.
Kasr Al Ainy students get a free daily allowance. Clinicoid Pro adds Coid Pro, a bigger monthly allowance and no daily limit.
What does Clinicoid Pro add?
Access to Coid Pro, Clinicoid's own exercises and mock exams, and a much bigger AI allowance with no daily limit.
Outside Kasr Al Ainy, Pro is also what turns the AI on.
Everything else stays free with or without Pro.
Do you sell my data? Are there ads?
No and no. No ads, no ad tracking, and we never sell your data.
Can Coid be wrong?
Yes. It is an AI and can make mistakes. Check important things in your book using the pages shown under each answer.
