Question
What GCS score defines severe traumatic brain injury?
Answer
A GCS of 8 or less. Mild is 13–15, moderate is 9–12, severe is 8 or below — and a GCS of 8 or less is a standard indication for a definitive airway.
Memory aid — less than eight, intubate.

When do I go straight to a surgical airway instead of trying again to intubate?
They describe two different things:
The decision point is oxygenation, not attempts.If you cannot ventilate and cannot intubate, definitive airway access is immediate, not eventual.Massive facial trauma, laryngeal disruption or oedema that blocks the glottis all push you the same way.

How it works
Three steps, and the app does the deciding for you.
No study plan to build, no guessing what to review. Answer questions, and your readiness score tells you exactly where you stand and what to do next.
1
Take the diagnostic
Ten questions across the blueprint set your real starting score in about eight minutes — no self-assessment, no guessing where you stand.
8 minutesSets your baseline
2
Practice in short sessions
Ten-minute sets pulled from your weakest sections. Every answer comes with the reasoning and why each wrong option is wrong — the part that actually moves your score.

Level up to Exam Ready
Each section climbs from Novice to Exam Ready as coverage and accuracy build. Mock exams unlock at 70 readiness, so your first full attempt actually means something.

A 2-year-old child being observed after a fall develops increasing lethargy, a rising heart rate, and poor feeding over a few hours. Which of the following best reflects sound recognition and escalation?
ADischarge the child home, since hours have passed since the fall, despite the new lethargy and tachycardia.BContinue the same observation unchanged and attribute the lethargy and poor feeding to simple tiredness in the child.CRecognize deterioration, escalate care, and reassess for an evolving injury rather than passive observation.✓DDelay any escalation until the child becomes unresponsive, since early changes in young children are never important.

Written by trauma clinicians, not scraped from the internet.
Every question is written and reviewed by trauma and emergency physicians working from the current course objectives — then rewritten when the edition changes. If an item is ambiguous, we cut it. That is why every one of the 1,680 questions is tagged to a course topic.
Blueprint-mapped
Each item is tagged to a topic of the current course objectives before it ever reaches you.
Reviewed, not generated
Questions are drafted by trauma clinicians, checked against the current course objectives, and retired when guidance changes.
Explanations first
Nothing ships without the reasoning and a note on why each distractor fails.
Frequently asked
Everything about ATLS.
How do I sign up for ATLS?
You book a student course through the American College of Surgeons or an ACS-verified course site — traditional or hybrid format. Places are limited and often allocated through your department, so secure the date first and study into it.
How is the course assessed?
By practical skill stations and a written multiple-choice post-test. ACS does not publish a public question count or time limit for the post-test, so we don't quote one — our mock papers are timed full-length papers rather than a guess at exam-day mechanics.
What score do I need to pass?
ACS states that CME credit requires a minimum post-test score of 75%, and the ATLS policy guidance sets the same 75% threshold for the written component. You also have to pass the practical stations.
What if I don't pass part of the course?
ACS policy assigns Incomplete–Remedial status, with up to 30 days to retest at an authorised course site. Three or more incompletes move you to Incomplete–Repeat Course, which means retaking the whole course.
How long does ATLS provider status last?
Four years from course completion, whether you took the traditional, hybrid or refresher course. There is a six-month grace period to complete a refresher, but you are not considered verified during that window.
Who is eligible?
Practising physicians, residents and equivalent postgraduate trainees, advanced practice clinicians, and medical students in their final year. Other clinicians may audit the course but do not receive an ATLS card.
What does the course cover?
The current edition's objectives: primary and secondary survey, external haemorrhage control, airway management including surgical airway, thoracic trauma and chest decompression, shock recognition and management, vascular and intraosseous access, pelvic and abdominal trauma evaluation, traumatic brain injury and the Glasgow Coma Scale, spinal protection, musculoskeletal trauma, and the older, pediatric and pregnant trauma patient.
How does this app help me pass?
It makes the algorithms automatic. The readiness score weighs coverage and accuracy across every course topic, then routes each session at your weakest ones. Every answer is explained — including why the other three options fail — so under pressure the sequence comes without thinking.
What do the plans cost?
Monthly is $29.99, charged today and renewed monthly. Weekly is $7.99 — good for a short sprint before your course date. Annual is $149.99, about $12.50 a month. Every plan unlocks everything: Ray, mock papers, flashcards, Mad Minute, and the readiness score. No tiers, no upsells.
How do I cancel?
Open your account settings and tap Cancel subscription. It takes effect at the end of your current period and you keep access until then. No email, no support ticket.
