We’re reimagining how educators can track and support student progress. As part of this initiative, CAS has
undergone significant enhancements over the past few years. From the introduction of the CAS Practice 
option to the addition of over 8,000 new items and the inclusion of CAS results in the INSIGHTSSM student 
dashboard,  we’re expanding functionality to better serve the medical education community.

A new way to use CAS: The CAS Practice Option

  • Build lower stakes quizzes from a dedicated question bank of foundational and clinical science items
  • Set up online administration windows, eliminating the need to reserve rooms or find proctors
  • Give students more flexibility by allowing them to test anytime within the administration window
  • Conduct post-administration review sessions one-on-one or in a group

Improvements that foster student learning

  • Enhanced learning — offer students more opportunities for practice, discussion and review by using the CAS Practice option to administer quizzes
  • Expanded item banks — save time and give students experience with NBME items developed by committees of subject matter experts, with over 8,000 items added since 2020
  • Improved item analysis — easily explore group and examinee performance on each item to develop student learning plans and track performance over time
  • Easier access to results — students can access their results in the INSIGHTS dashboard to analyze their performance, identify areas for growth and track their learning gains
