Abstract

Introduction: In order to manage a patient, doctors and medical students need to collect the patient's data and information in different ways, evaluate, interpret, analyze and reason clinically, and after diagnosis, take action to solve the patient's problem. For this purpose, it is necessary for them to go through the levels of knowledge in three categories: remembering, interpretation and problem solving.
Materials & Methods:  In this area, we intend to introduce a case-based replacement technique to our audiences. We have named this method TTT or (Triple Taxonomy Tests / technique) or MTQ (Mixed Taxonomy Questions).
Results: In this way, a case is designed with a number of questions and a number of options and blank spaces, based on three levels of "recall", "interpretation" and "problem solving". This form of test or case-based technique is used in self-learning exercises, self-assessment or official assessments
Conclusion: This test helps us to improve the ability to use "thinking", clinical decision-making and solving problems in real patient cases.
