User reviews
EDIT: they fixed the practice section, +1 star. information is extremely useful and presented in a clear and intuitive order/format. -1 star because the grading is kinda arbitrary and the "practice" section for previously missed questions doesn't seem to work properly.
So far so good. I've learned a lot already. The ads are small and unintrusive, I appreciate that.
very helpful guides with replayable quizzes to help memorize.
