Quizzes that check you

Reading it again is not knowing it. Say quiz me on adding fractions, or on the page you are reading, and DuckyHelper writes a short quiz on exactly that while you watch. Tap a choice, type the math, answer true or false. Each answer is checked right away, and a miss comes with why. The ones you miss come back later, right before you would forget them.

Answer any way

Tap it, type it, or press a number.

In the Mac pill, tap a choice or press 1 to 4. For math, type it the way you would write it: the quiz shows what it reads your answer as, 2/3 as a fraction, before you press Check or return. True or false comes with figures in the question when a picture helps.

Quiz me on this page works too: on a Mac, Ducky can see the page you are on and quiz you on it.

See results shows what you got right and goes over the ones you missed.

Miss one?

Not quite, and why.

A wrong answer is not just marked red. It says not quite and what went wrong: only the tops add, the bottoms must match first. At the end you see your score, and the ones you missed are saved as flashcards that come back later.

In Eddy

A quick check beside the picture.

In the Eddy tab, Eddy's quizzes dock as a Quick check beside the picture you are learning from. Eddy's pointer shows the part each question asks about and marks your answer on the picture, so the question and the thing it is about stay together.
