This learning app is designed to help you pass the World Heritage Certification Level 2 and Level 3 exams. It contains 3,998 question-and-answer exercises for both levels, each with an explanation for every option.
【This app's most distinctive feature: Explanations for each option】
Most question-and-answer apps simply provide a brief explanation of the correct answer. This app is different. For each of the four options, it explains "what it really is."
For example, in a question asking which country owns the Galapagos Islands, you not only get an explanation for the correct answer, Ecuador, but also for Peru, Colombia, and Chile, explaining what each country is and why they can be confusing. In other words, by solving just one question, you gain four pieces of knowledge simultaneously.
The World Heritage Certification exam is one where you lose points for "hearing something before, but not being able to remember which country it's in." Explanations that list similar things and explain the differences directly help prevent these lost points.

[What you can do]
1. Chapter-by-Chapter Practice
Choose the chapter you want to study and proceed in sets of 5 questions. The completed sets change color according to your level of memory retention, allowing you to easily see where your weaknesses lie.
2. Practice Tests in Exam Format
Choose from 10, 20, or 30 questions. Questions can be presented chapter by chapter or a mix of all topics. The time limit helps you get a feel for the actual test time.
3. Review Based on the Forgetting Curve
Incorrectly answered questions are automatically added to the review list. Furthermore, even questions you've answered correctly are returned to the review list based on the calculation of "when you're likely to forget." Using the FSRS memory model, this is more efficient for retention than simply redoing problems randomly.
4. Learning Analysis
You can check your learning stability, memory freshness, and accuracy rate in graphs. Weaknesses for each chapter are also listed as "review priority," so you won't be confused about what to do next. Weekly learning volume can also be reviewed in a bar graph.
5. Integration with Web Textbooks
We offer web textbooks that explain the test scope starting from "why that heritage site is a World Heritage Site" (Level 3: Chapter 8, Section 42; Level 2: Chapter 12, Section 67). Since you can open them directly from the app, if you get lost while solving problems, you can reread them on the spot. The design philosophy of this app is to avoid rote memorization.
6. 200 World Heritage Cards
You can earn cards by passing tests. This collection features 200 cards using actual photos of World Heritage sites, allowing you to learn the names and locations of sites as you collect them.
7. Daily Question Reminder
Supports the development of a daily learning habit.
8. Offline Learning Available
All questions and explanations are within the app. You can study even during your commute or while traveling, without worrying about signal strength.
