Question
How do the flashcards decide what to show me next?
Answer
Every card is tagged to a exam domain and scheduled by spaced repetition — cards you miss come back sooner, cards you know drift further apart.
Memory aid — review is scheduled for you, so you never decide what to study next.

How it works
Three steps, and the app does the deciding for you.
No study plan to build, no guessing what to review. Answer questions, and your readiness score tells you exactly where you stand and what to do next.
1
Take the diagnostic
Ten questions across the blueprint set your real starting score in about eight minutes — no self-assessment, no guessing where you stand.
8 minutesSets your baseline
2
Practice in short sessions
Ten-minute sets pulled from your weakest sections. Every answer comes with the reasoning and why each wrong option is wrong — the part that actually moves your score.
Explained answersWeak-area targeting
3
Level up to Exam Ready
Each section climbs from Novice to Exam Ready as coverage and accuracy build. Mock exams unlock at 70 readiness, so your first full attempt actually means something.

Written by credentialed reviewers, not scraped from the internet.
Every question is written and reviewed by credentialed practitioners working from the current published outline — then rewritten when the guidance changes. If an item is ambiguous, we cut it. That is why the bank is 1,450 questions and not 10,000.
Blueprint-mapped
Each item is tagged to a exam domain of the published outline before it ever reaches you.
Reviewed, not generated
Questions are drafted by credentialed practitioners, checked against current guidance, and retired when rules change.
Explanations first
Nothing ships without the reasoning and a note on why each distractor fails.
