Smoother pen writing on cram sheets
Fixed- Fixed
Pen and highlighter writing on cram sheets is smoother. more ▾less ▴
Handwriting with the pen or highlighter on cram sheets is now much smoother — small letters keep their shape on phones, tablets, and desktop, at any zoom level.
- Fixed
Brief pauses while writing no longer snap strokes into shapes. more ▾less ▴
Pausing briefly while writing a letter no longer turns your stroke into a straight line or an oval — snapping to a shape now needs a deliberate, clearly-still hold on a larger stroke.
Writing on cram sheets works properly with a stylus
Fixed- Fixed
Stylus writing on cram sheets now ignores your resting palm. more ▾less ▴
Writing on a cram sheet with an Apple Pencil or stylus no longer cuts off mid-stroke when your palm rests on the screen — you can write the way you would on paper.

New schedules skip mocks you've already taken
Fixed- Fixed
Rebuilt plans skip finished mock boards. more ▾less ▴
Building or rebuilding your study plan no longer re-schedules a mock board you've already completed. Your next unfinished mock (for example, Mock Board 2) now takes the early benchmark slot instead, and if you've done only Day 1 of a mock, the new plan schedules just the missing Day 2.
Un-highlight answer choices with one tap
Fixed- Fixed
Tap a highlight on an answer choice to remove it in one tap. more ▾less ▴
Tapping a highlight (or pen mark) on an answer choice now removes it in one tap, the same as in the question — no need to drag across it again. A tap on unmarked text still picks your answer.

Smoother answer taps after highlighting
Fixed- Fixed
The first tap on an answer right after highlighting now registers. more ▾less ▴
On touch devices (iPad and phones), the first tap on an answer choice right after highlighting words in it sometimes didn't register, so picking your answer felt slow. Taps now always land on the first try.

History scores now match your session review
Fixed- Fixed
History list scores now match the score inside each session review. more ▾less ▴
The History list was showing some practice scores 1 point lower than the score inside the session review — it was accidentally leaving your first answer out of the count. The review score was always the correct one, and no answers were ever lost. History now shows the same score everywhere.
Your study plan now checks itself off
Fixed- Fixed
Flashcards, mock boards, and lessons now cross themselves off your study plan when you finish them. more ▾less ▴
Finishing your flashcards for the day, submitting your mock board sections, and reading a lesson to the end now cross those tasks off your study plan automatically — no more finishing your decks and finding the task still waiting. Ticking a task yourself still works exactly like before.
The home screen no longer says you left something unfinished
Fixed- Fixed
The home screen says "Jump back in" when nothing is actually unfinished. more ▾less ▴
Your home screen now says "Continue where you left off" only when you genuinely have a session still open. When you've finished everything, the card reads "Jump back in" instead, with "Practice again" and "Your last deck" — so completing your work no longer looks like your progress went missing. Thank you to the student who reported it!
