How it works
Four steps, one minute, every day
Say it fast
Read the term and say the definition out loud in your own words, as quickly as you can.
Flip & sort
Flip to check. Tap Correct if you had it, or Error if you missed it, hesitated, or skipped.
Chart daily
Your best timing each day is saved and charted. Aim for more corrects and fewer errors over time.
Fluency tip: Being accurate isn’t enough on a timed exam. You want to be accurate and fast. Review the cards you missed after each timing, then try again tomorrow.
