How practice works
- A new idea shows first as a short fact. This is not a test. Read it.
- A few cards later, you get a question about it.
- A correct answer makes the question come back later. A wrong answer makes it come back soon.
- Each question page shows the law it comes from.
- The app saves your progress after every answer. You can stop at any time.
How the practice test works
- The practice test has 50 questions in random order. You get no help until the end.
- You need 40 correct answers to pass. This is our rule. It is not the rule of the real test.
- At the end, you see your score for each topic. You can review each wrong answer.
