How we read web articles
Paste a link and we fetch the page, strip navigation and ads, and keep the article text, so a Wikipedia entry or an assigned reading becomes a study set in one step.
Get the best results
- Link the specific article, not a site's home page.
- Combine several readings on one topic into one set for synthesis questions.
What your practice tests include
- A timed, exam-style test mixing question types
- A score at the end, with every question you missed explained
- Questions pitched at the level you choose, from high school to professional
- The source passage behind every answer, so you can check it yourself
How you study them
Take it under exam conditions, then review your misses. Questions you got wrong go into your review queue so they come back before the real exam.
Best for: mock exams, measuring readiness, teachers building assessments.
Things that trip people up with web articles
- Paywalled and login-only pages cannot be fetched. Copy the text and paste it instead.
- Pages that load their text with heavy scripts may come back short; pasting works there too.
