For the grown-up in the room

  • Every answer is explained, right or wrong. That line is the part that teaches.
  • The results screen breaks the round down by topic, so you can see what to practise rather than just a score.
  • Read-aloud can be switched on with the speech button if it helps.
  • Nothing is stored anywhere but this device, and no score from here goes on a public board.
