Drill the vocabulary
Pick a deck. Each card shows a term: recall its definition, formula, and use, then reveal the answer and grade yourself. Cards you mark for review come back at the end of the deck.
Reshuffle mixes up the cards you have left and keeps your progress. Restart clears this deck's progress.
Learn by multiple choice
Work through the deck in rounds of seven. Get a term right once and it's familiar; get it right again in a later round and it's mastered. Anything you miss comes back before the round ends.
Reshuffle mixes up the order and starts a fresh round, keeping what you've mastered. Restart clears this deck's progress.
Explain it in your own words
Answer each question as if you were explaining it to a colleague. Then compare your answer with the model answer, check which key ideas you hit, and grade yourself. Anything short of "Nailed it" comes back later.
