The problem
Reviewing feels like progress. It's not.
Research has a name for it: the illusion of competence.
The False Signal
You re-read your notes. You skim the summary. You feel ready. Feeling ready and being ready are two different things.
The Real Cost
The gap shows up on exam day. Not before. By then, it's too late to fix what you didn't know you didn't know.
The Root Cause
The problem isn't effort. It's the absence of verification. You finished studying — but nothing confirmed what stuck.

Without verification, 4 out of 5 concepts gone before exam day.
No tool tells you: this concept — do you actually know it, or are you just familiar with it?
The answer
Drill doesn't help you study. Drill tells you if you know.
Short verification runs. 7 to 13 Cards. True-or-false Statements designed to test your knowledge from multiple angles. One mistake and the Run resets — same Cards, different order, until you prove it clean.
No score. No "almost". A verdict.
