Terms of use
Last updated 17 September 2026.
AnswerWhy is a study tool that grades your clinical reasoning on practice questions you already have. These terms are short because the product is narrow. Using it means you agree to them.
What AnswerWhy is
A coach that reads the reasoning you give for a practice question, tells you whether it held, names the failure when it did not, and tracks the patterns over time. It is a study aid. It is not medical advice, not a substitute for a curriculum or a question bank, and not a guarantee of any exam result.
What you may bring
Practice questions from any question bank or self-assessment you have already finished, with your answer and your reasoning. Bring what you are allowed to bring: you are responsible for complying with the terms of whatever source the question came from.
Never live or secure exam content. Questions from a real exam sitting, and reconstructions of them (“recalls”), are refused on every path into the app. Reproducing secure exam content can be treated as irregular behavior by the examining body and put a score at risk. We screen for it, decline to grade it, and keep a record that a refusal happened.
Your account
One account per person, kept to yourself. You are responsible for what is submitted under it. The free trial without an account is limited to a small number of questions per network and is for evaluation.
Accuracy
The coach cites named references for checkable claims and is built to be careful, and it can still be wrong. Treat every correction as a lead to verify, not as a fact to memorize. You can flag any line you believe is wrong; flagged lines are reviewed to improve the engine. Nothing the coach writes is a substitute for the explanation that came with your question or for a primary source.
What stays yours
Your reasoning, your grades, and your settings are yours. We do not share them between accounts, publish them, or use them to train a model. The question text and screenshots you bring are never stored (see the privacy policy).
What stays ours
The grading engine, its prompts, the interface, and the AnswerWhy name and marks. You may not scrape, resell, or reproduce the coach’s output as a product of your own.
Availability and changes
The service is provided as is. We may change or discontinue features, and we will say so in the product when it matters. These terms may change; the date at the top moves when they do.
