Frequently asked questions

How should I study US states and capitals?

Group states by region, such as the Northeast, Midwest, South and West, and learn each region's neighbors before memorizing capitals. Quizzing yourself on a blank map after each region helps more than rereading the list.

What is the best way to memorize the locations of US rivers?

Learn the major rivers by the regions they drain, starting with the Mississippi and Missouri, then the Rio Grande and Columbia. Drawing each route on a blank map and checking it afterward helps the order stick.

Can I print my quiz?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export your quiz to PDF. The Free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
