Review on a schedule

Study in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you are most likely to forget.

Cards work best when each one tests a single idea: the cause of a plot, the outcome of a war, or what a named Act did. Short, specific questions are easier to check against your notes than long summaries, and reviewing them in short sessions over several weeks helps more than one long cram the night before.

Use the cards alongside past paper questions. When you get a card wrong, go back to the source material to see why, then continue with the schedule the app gives you.
