Lessons

Lessons teach technique. They are grouped by module and then by depth, and they are all free on every plan.

The groups

Foundations — how the module works and how it is scored. Question types — one lesson per type of question you will meet. Advanced — locating evidence quickly, timing, and the things that separate a 6 from a 7.

The six stages

Every lesson runs the same six stages, in order. The shape is the point: you are never asked to try something you have not been shown, and you never finish without checking whether it worked.

1. Understand — what the technique is and when it applies.
2. See — it done once, on a real example.
3. Try — you do one, with the answer and the reasoning available.
4. Practice — a button straight into the matching drill in Reading practice.
5. Check — what you should now be able to do.
6. Improve — where to go if it did not work.

Finishing one

Mark as read at the foot records it. Two things follow from that: the lesson index shows how many of a module's lessons you have finished, and the day counts as a study day — reading a lesson keeps a streak alive exactly as sitting an attempt does.

There is no test at the end and nothing checks that you read it. Marking it read is a claim you make about yourself.

Not written yet

Listening and Speaking lesson indexes are locked entirely, for the reason given in What Bandzen is.
