Chapters include knowledge checks and links to related glossary terms. SPACED-REPETITION REVIEW Every question you answer is scheduled automatically: 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days. Questions come back just as you are about to forget them, so you never have to track what to review. Review several certifications together, and turn on a reminder for review days. EXPLANATIONS FOR EVERY QUESTION Learn why the correct answer is right and why the other choices are not. Professional and Specialty questions use long, realistic scenarios. GLOSSARY Follow links between related terms, with search and category filters. MOCK EXAMS Each mock exam follows the real question count, time limit and passing score, with accuracy by domain so you can see your weak spots. PROGRESS Accuracy by domain, mastered questions, study streak and a pass-prediction score (an estimate based on your answers, not a guarantee). IPHONE DUO Unfold iPhone Duo for a two-page spread: the question on the left and the explanation on the right, or the course text on the left with a notes page on the right. Take notes by hand or by typing. Folded, it works one-handed.
