Explanations for every answer, including why the close distractor is wrong
Spaced repetition on Plus and Pro to keep capitals in long-term memory
Exports to PDF, DOCX and Anki on Plus, with QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How do I study world capitals effectively?

Group countries by continent or region, then quiz yourself in both directions, from country to capital and from capital to country. Retrieval practice works better than rereading a list.

Which capitals do people confuse most often?

Common mix-ups include Ottawa and Toronto, Canberra and Sydney, and Bern and Zurich. Practicing these pairs side by side helps more than drilling each one separately.

Can I export the quiz for class?

Export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser only.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
