You choose the category, answer a diagnostic questionnaire, and the app creates a study plan. With each practice test, it recalculates your weaknesses and brings back what you got wrong, at the interval when your memory needs review.
FREE AND PRO
In the free plan, you study one objective and take one practice test per week. The Pro plan unlocks all categories, unlimited practice tests, all previous exams, and targeted error review. It's a one-time payment: no subscription and no ads.
