A short daily session

What a day looks like a few weeks in. The screens use illustrative progress, not a real learner's data.

  1. Today has a plan

    Open the app and today's session is ready: questions due for review, mixed with a few new ones. About five minutes.

  2. Answer at your own pace

    Choose an answer, then check it. Not sure? Show the answer instead of guessing, and the question comes back tomorrow.

  3. Every answer is explained

    Right or wrong, you see why, with the official source for US questions. Get it right and its tile moves a step on your map.

  4. Then you stop

    Sessions end. Spacing is the point: each question comes back over the following days, so it is still there on test day.

What the app covers

The US and UK tests come first, with every practice question counted by topic. Canada and Australia are planned, with no release date yet.

  • Not started
  • Learning
  • Nearly there
  • Mastered

  1. Every question is a tile

    Your map holds every question in your test, grouped by topic. A tile you have not tried yet is an outline.

  2. Right on three separate days

    Get a question right and its tile shows a dot: Learning. Right again on another day, it is half filled: Nearly there. Right on a third day, it fills with its topic's colour: Mastered.

  3. Spacing brings it back

    A question you got right comes back after a day, then three days, then a week. Miss one and it comes back tomorrow, so the gaps close before test day.

  4. A ready check you can read

    Three things you can see for yourself: your recent full quizzes against the pass mark, four in five questions Nearly there or Mastered, and two mock tests passed in a row under the real rules. It never predicts a result.
