With more than 15,000 clinician-written practice questions, interactive lessons, customizable quizzes, spaced repetition, and accredited continuing education opportunities, Ollivate helps healthcare professionals strengthen their knowledge while making learning feel more like a game.
And now, with the release of Ollivate 2.1.0, the experience is getting even better.
Our latest update introduces a redesigned home screen, customizable avatars, detailed progress tracking, more flexible practice exams, and improvements that make studying smoother across devices.
Whether you’re apply to CRNA school, preparing for the National Certification Examination (NCE), studying for the Self-Evaluation Examination (SEE), or completing continuing education, Ollivate helps you stay consistent, track your progress, and make every study session count.
Here’s what’s new.
A Smarter CRNA Study Dashboard: Know Exactly What to Study Next
One of the biggest challenges of nurse anesthesia school is figuring out what to study—and when.
Between coursework, clinical rotations, exams, and board preparation, there’s a lot to manage.
That’s why we’ve redesigned the Ollivate home screen.
With version 2.1.0, your new daily overview brings your learning priorities together in one place.
When you open the app, you can see:
Your next study activities: Quickly jump into lessons and practice questions.
Upcoming assignments: Stay on top of deadlines and coursework.
Daily challenges: Keep learning engaging with new opportunities to compete.
Mastery: Access your spaced repetition question bank to reinforce what you’ve learned.
Classmate progress: See how your peers are progressing throughout the week.
Your personal learning progress: Get a clearer picture of your activity and accomplishments.
Instead of spending time deciding where to begin, you can jump straight into studying.
For nurse anesthesia students balancing demanding schedules, having a clear study plan can make it easier to build consistent learning habits.
And consistency matters when you’re preparing for the SEE, the NCE, or your next anesthesia exam.
Make Your Nurse Anesthesia Study Experience Your Own
Studying doesn’t have to feel like staring at another textbook.
Ollivate brings a little personality to the process.
With our latest update, you can customize your profile with a personal bio, profile photo, and new avatars.
Meet the newest members of the Ollivate family: Olli the dog’s best friends!
Choose an avatar that fits your personality or upload your own photo.
You can also connect with fellow learners through profiles and shared learning experiences.
Because while nurse anesthesia school can be demanding, studying doesn’t have to be something you do alone.
Track Your CRNA Board Prep Progress With Better Learning Analytics
How do you know whether your studying is paying off?
Tracking your learning over time can help you understand your habits, identify areas that need attention, and stay motivated.
Ollivate 2.1.0 introduces more detailed learning statistics, giving you a clearer view of your progress.
You can now explore your activity:
By course
By date
Across different study sessions
Over time as your learning progresses
Whether you’re reviewing anesthesia pharmacology, physiology, equipment, or other clinical topics, your progress statistics help you understand how consistently you’re studying.
And because privacy matters, you can control whether your statistics are visible to other users.
We’ve also added the ability to report or block users directly from their profiles.
The goal? Give you more control over your learning experience while making your progress easier to understand.
More Flexible CRNA Practice Exams and Spaced Repetition
Practice questions are an important part of preparing for nurse anesthesia exams.
But not every study session looks the same.
Some days you have an hour to work through a large question set.
Other days you have 10 minutes between responsibilities.
Ollivate 2.1.0 gives you more flexibility to study on your schedule.
Customize Your Spaced Repetition Sessions
Ollivate’s Mastery feature is a spaced repetition question bank designed to help you revisit previously studied material.
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing information over time rather than relying on a single study session.
With the latest update, you can choose exactly how many Mastery questions you want to complete.
Have a few minutes? Complete a short session.
Ready for a longer review? Increase your question count.
It’s another way Ollivate helps make consistent studying more manageable.
Practice Exams That Fit Your Needs
Preparing for the CRNA board exam requires more than memorizing facts.
You need opportunities to apply knowledge, practice clinical reasoning, and become comfortable answering questions.
Ollivate offers practice exams and customizable quizzes to support your nurse anesthesia studies.
With version 2.1.0, pre-made exams now offer three timing options:
Standard time
1.5x time
2x time
These options provide flexibility for learners who prefer or need additional time during practice.
And after completing an exam, you can review your results, star questions, add notes, and report potential issues.
That means your practice exam doesn’t end when you submit your answers.
It becomes another opportunity to review and reinforce your knowledge.
Gamified Learning Makes Nurse Anesthesia Studying More Engaging
What makes Ollivate different from traditional CRNA board prep resources?
We believe learning should be engaging, interactive, and even a little competitive.
Ollivate combines nurse anesthesia education with game-inspired features that encourage learners to keep coming back.
Instead of simply reading through question banks, you can move through interactive learning experiences, complete challenges, track progress, and compete with classmates.
Ollivate’s gamified learning features include:
Interactive course maps
Learning levels
Daily challenges and quests
Streaks
Leaderboards
Practice questions and quizzes
Progress tracking
Spaced repetition through Mastery
The idea is simple: make it easier to build consistent study habits by creating an experience you actually want to return to.
Whether you’re studying for CRNA boards or reviewing clinical anesthesia concepts, Ollivate brings a fresh approach to healthcare education.
