Add your own pictures to cram sheets
New- New
Add your own photos and screenshots to cram sheet pages. more ▾less ▴
Cram sheets now take your own pictures. In the tools row, tap the picture button to add a photo from your phone or a screenshot (on a laptop, paste it with Ctrl+V). Drag it to move it, pull its corner to resize it, tap it to see it full screen, or shrink it to a small pin so it stops covering the text. Up to 6 pictures on a page.
Study Plan: read the topic's cram sheet pages before its questions
New- New
Your plan now opens each new topic's cram sheet pages before its questions. more ▾less ▴
On the first day of a new topic, your Study Plan now opens the cram sheet pages that teach it, right before that topic's questions. Reaching the last page ticks the step off, and a button takes you straight into the quiz.

A reminder when a checkout isn't finished
New- New
One reminder email when a checkout isn't finished. more ▾less ▴
If you start paying for a plan and the payment isn't completed, we now send one short email about a day later with a link back to checkout, your partner code if it still works, and an offer to help if the payment gave you trouble. You can turn it off with the email's Unsubscribe link.
Partner milestones and a day-by-day earnings view
New- New
Partners get first-sale and milestone emails, and see their students helped. more ▾less ▴
Partners now get an email for their first sale and at each milestone of students who joined with their code (10, 25, 50, 100 and up). The Partner Portal shows how many students they've helped and how close the next milestone is.
Review the answers you guessed right
New- New
The finish screen now offers a quick review of right answers you tagged as a guess. more ▾less ▴
When you get a question right but tagged it Guessing or Not sure, the finish screen now tells you how many and offers Review them, a short set of just those questions. A lucky guess can hide a gap, so a second look makes sure you really know it.

New questions in five topics
New- New
92 new practice questions in five topics students finish most often. more ▾less ▴
92 new practice questions in the five topics students finish most often: Classification of surgery (20), Non-communicable diseases (20), Malnutrition (19), Foundations of mental health nursing (17), and Universal Health Care and the SDGs (16). If you had already answered every question in one of these topics, your next practice set there brings fresh first tries.
See what improved this week
New- New
Performance now shows your old misses fixed and topics moved up this week. more ▾less ▴
Performance now shows what improved this week under your progress chart: questions you missed the first time and answered right after coming back at least 3 days later, and topics whose color went up since Monday. It only appears in a week when there is something to show.
More ways to study a topic you have finished
New- New
A finished topic's finish screen now links to its flashcards and cram sheet. more ▾less ▴
When a practice set leaves you with every question in its topic answered, the finish screen now offers that topic's flashcards and cram sheet under Keep studying this topic. The Next set button still takes you to new questions in another weak topic.
Topic scores that move when you review
New- New
Topic Mastery now shows a Now score that moves when you review a topic after 3 days. more ▾less ▴
Topic Mastery now shows a Now score beside your first try once you come back to a topic's questions after at least 3 days. Now counts your latest answer on each question, so reviewing a topic you have finished can finally move it, and the topic's color follows Now. A topic where you have answered every question says so and offers Review. Your weakest-topics lists on Home and Performance use the same score, so a topic you have fixed leaves the list.
