# USMLE Error Analysis ## Purpose Analyze USMLE practice question errors, categorize mistake types, identify weak knowledge areas, and generate targeted review strategies. Turn "I got it wrong" into "Here's exactly what I need to fix." ## Input (User Provides) - Question subject/system (e.g., Cardiovascular, Renal, Psychiatry) - Question topic/concept (e.g., Heart Failure, Glomerulonephritis, Schizophrenia) - User's answer vs correct answer - Self-identified reason for error (if known): - Knowledge gap (didn't know the concept) - Misread question (misunderstood what was being asked) - Careless mistake (knew it but picked wrong answer) - Time pressure (rushed and guessed) - Second-guessed (changed correct answer to wrong one) ## Execution Steps 1. **Categorize each error** into one of 5 types: - **Knowledge Gap**: Fundamental concept not understood → Content review needed - **Question Misread**: Misunderstood stem or what was asked → Slow down, underline key phrases - **Careless Error**: Knew concept but made silly mistake → Develop checklist habits - **Time Pressure**: Ran out of time, guessed → Practice timed blocks, improve speed - **Second-Guessing**: Changed right answer to wrong one → Trust first instinct, document why 2. **Identify weak knowledge areas** by system/topic: - Track error frequency per system (e.g., Cardiovascular: 8 errors, Renal: 5 errors) - Track error frequency per topic within system (e.g., within Cardio: Heart Fai
