How our adaptive system works

After each answer, questions are selected from the categories where your accuracy is lowest — so you spend time where it counts.

The last 20 questions you answered are excluded, so you're never stuck in a loop on the same material.

Every answer choice gets its own explanation — not just why the right answer is correct, but why each wrong answer is wrong.

Your dashboard shows accuracy per subject so you always know exactly where you stand across all Step 1 topics.
