From first lesson to exam-ready

How the Academy's study loop works — lessons, daily review, weak-spot drills, and the readiness score that tells you when to book the test.

1. Start a course and work the lessons Pick your course — General Knowledge first, then endorsements — and work through the lessons and section quizzes. Every question you miss is remembered, not just marked wrong.
2. Do the Daily Review when it appears (1) The Daily Review resurfaces flashcards and missed questions right before you'd forget them — spaced repetition, usually just a couple of minutes. It's optional and never a guilt-trip streak, but it's the highest-value minutes in the program.
3. Drill your weak spots (2) The drill builds a focused practice set weighted toward the sections you've been missing — the fastest way to lift a lagging score before test day.
4. Train the pre-trip out loud (3) The pre-trip inspection is a spoken exam. The trainer walks the truck front to back, teaches the exact words, then has you call them out from memory — the same way the examiner grades you.
5. Trust the readiness score Each course shows a readiness ring blending your quizzes, final test, long-term recall, and coverage. You only see "exam-ready" when the number clears 80% and you've passed a full mock exam — book the DMV on evidence, not a hunch. Pass the final and your certificate is issued with a QR code anyone can verify.
