Interactive Tutor · included with every product

A tutor on every question.
Not just an answer key.

Every question comes with a full rationale. When that isn’t enough — the concept is new, the wording is dense, you got it right by luck — tap Explain and the tutor talks you through it: why your answer was wrong, and what the right idea actually is. Ask it anything back, as many times as you need.

If English isn’t the language you learned this in, it teaches in yours, switched whenever you like. The questions stay in English, because that is how you will see them on exam day. Where enough candidates ask we translate the prep itself — so far Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian and Simplified Chinese, on the products that have it.

Included with every product · every question · 19 languages

Try the tutor on a free question →Tap Explain on any question. The tutor breaks the concept down in plain language — why your specific wrong answer was wrong, what the right idea actually is, and an example if it helps. Ask follow-ups in the same window; it stays on the question you are working on. Pick the language you think in and every explanation comes back in it. The questions and answer options stay in the edition language, because that is how you will see them on exam day. Included with every product.
