  2. Work the day's 30 cardsRate each one honestly and it comes back when you are due to forget it.
  3. Take Today's QuizMultiple choice questions on what you just studied, then move on to the next day.
  4. Check inA 40-question checkpoint every two to four weeks, and a full 230-question mock in weeks 7, 11 and 15.
