Move the cross-out button to your left hand
New- New
Choose which side the ✕ cross-out button sits on — handy for lefties. more ▾less ▴
You can now choose which side the ✕ cross-out button sits on. Left-handed? Move it to the left so your hand doesn't cover the other choices while you rule options out with a pen. Set your default in Profile → Study preferences, or switch it any time right on the exam screen, next to the highlighter. It stays on the right unless you change it. Thank you to the left-handed student who suggested it!

Flashcards for everyone & a clearer Flashcards page
New- New
Free plan: 5 flashcards a day, personalized to your weak spots. more ▾less ▴
The free plan now includes 5 flashcards a day — cards due for review come first, then new ones from the topics your practice shows you're weakest in. Beta unlocks all 3,366 cards with a goal you set yourself.
Random practice from one whole section
New- New
Random practice sets from one whole NP section. more ▾less ▴
You can now start a random practice set from one whole NP section — every topic in that component, shuffled together — instead of choosing between a single topic and the all-section mix. Open Practice and tap the “Random set” button beside a section's name. The usual choices (how many questions, new or missed, Practice or Exam mode) all work with it, and the set draws evenly across the section's topics. Thank you to the student who suggested it!

Flashcards: your goal, your pace
New- New
Set your own daily flashcard goal in Profile. more ▾less ▴
You can now set your own daily flashcard goal — anywhere from 5 to 100 cards — in Profile → Study preferences (or tap Adjust next to the meter on your Decks page).
- New
Scheduled flashcards now start with your weakest topics. more ▾less ▴
Flashcard sessions opened from your study plan now lead with the topics your practice shows you're weakest in. Cards you've already started keep their exact spacing — only the order new cards arrive in is personalized.
Deeper readiness insights & a faster app
New- New
Richer Performance insights: a likely range, recent form, and how you compare. more ▾less ▴
Your Performance page goes deeper on where you stand: a likely score range instead of a single number, your recent form over the last two weeks (with trend arrows), how consistent your mock scores are, and how you compare to other takers by percentile — an honest, fuller picture of your readiness.
- New
The diagnostic autosaves, and finished ones appear in History. more ▾less ▴
Your diagnostic now autosaves as you go, so stepping away won't lose your progress — and finished diagnostics now appear in your History alongside your practice sets and mock boards.
Your mock board rank, right on your home page
New- New
Your mock board rank now shows on your home page. more ▾less ▴
Your home page now shows your mock board standing beside your practice rank — your place on the latest mock you've taken. On the public leaderboard, that's your rank (like #4 of 31). Staying private? You still get your own Top X% among everyone who's taken that board — visible only to you. Thanks to the student who suggested this!

Clearer names, clearer numbers
New- New
A show-password toggle, plus our published Terms and Privacy Policy. more ▾less ▴
The login page now has a show-password toggle, and our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are published — linked from the sign-up page and the site footer.
Smoother schedule editing
New- New
Undo a schedule move with one tap. more ▾less ▴
After you move a task, a small confirmation appears with one-tap Undo — plus a gentle heads-up if that day is getting heavy or falls on one of your rest days.
More of your study counts, plus tidier situations
New- New
Tap Hide on a mock situation to stop it repeating on every question. more ▾less ▴
In mock boards, you can now tap Hide on the situation box so it stops repeating in full on every question of a case. It collapses to a single line on the follow-up questions — and always shows in full on the first question of each new case. Tap Show anytime to bring it back.
