Frequently asked questions
How many history questions should I study in one session?
Most people do well with 15 to 20 questions per session, focusing on one chapter or unit. Shorter, regular sessions help dates and names stick better than one long cram.
What is the best way to memorize historical dates?
Link each date to the event it belongs to and to one cause or result, instead of memorizing the year alone. Then quiz yourself in both directions, from event to year and from year to event.
Is the free plan enough to study for a history exam?
The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and browser study, which can cover a short unit. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month removes the generation limit.
Can I export my history quizzes?
Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
