Vera
Verbal Flashcards

Talk through the math, do not just get the number.

Dimensional analysis out loud, where the setup errors become obvious.

You get the right answer at your desk and freeze when someone is watching.

What Vera actually is

A phone call with someone who is not there. You say the thing out loud, they answer the way a real person would, and you get to do it again — as many times as it takes, with nobody listening.

1She calls youA real phone call, about ten seconds after you tap. Lock screen, headphones, car — wherever you take calls.
2She plays the other personNot a coach reading tips. Dosage Calculation Practice, with someone on the other end who answers back.
3She pushes when you are vagueFollow-up questions, interruptions when you ramble, and a straight read at the end on what landed.

“What if I am bad at it?”Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.
“What if I do not know what to say?”She asks first and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.
“What if it is awkward?”It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.

Not practising doesn’t save you anything.

The ticket, the evening, the weeks of applying — all of it is spent before anyone says a word. The practice is the only cheap part, and the only part that changes how the rest goes.

What she'll actually ask

She asks these the way a real person would, then follows up on whatever you say.

  1. Set this up before you solve it. What are your units?
  2. The order is in milligrams per kilogram. Walk me through it.
  3. What is the flow rate, and what did you convert?
  4. Does that answer make clinical sense?
  5. You dropped a conversion. Where?
More about this one

Dosage calculation errors are almost always setup errors, not arithmetic ones — units placed wrong, a conversion skipped, a rate confused with a volume. Narrating the setup catches those immediately because a wrong setup sounds wrong out loud in a way it does not look wrong on paper. Vera gives you problems verbally and makes you talk through the units before the number.

What she listens for

Setup narrationUnits stated before solving is the single best error catcher.
Sanity checkingWhether you notice an answer that is clinically implausible.
Conversion gapsThe same conversion looked up repeatedly should be memorized.
  • dosage calculations
  • dimensional analysis
  • mg per kg
  • IV flow rate
  • unit conversion
  • drip rate
  • safe dose range
  • med math
“Saying the units out loud caught three setup mistakes in one session. On paper I would have just gotten them wrong.”

Common questions

Can I do calculations on a call?

Yes, with paper. The value is narrating the setup, which is where the errors live.

Does it cover pediatric dosing?

Yes — say so in your prompt and it will use weight-based problems.

Should I verify the answers?

Check anything that matters against your course materials. Use this for the reasoning process.

What if I am bad at it?

What if I do not know what to say?
