Some of the questions are quite difficult, but with the detailed explanations included and practice, your knowledge will soon grow exponentially!

Alternatively, choose questions from all systems. The second selector wheel allows you to choose the status of the questions presented in the game (All, New questions only, New & Incorrect questions only or Previously answered incorrectly.

After your satisfied with your selections, you start a "game". The game will match your criteria entered selecting questions randomly from the database.
Challenge yourself; see how fast and how accurately you can answer the questions. Or, read through the detailed explanation as to why the answer was correct and to reinforce your learning (the timer stops while reading explanations).
After completing your session, a summary screen will be presented that will show you the percent correct and average time per question. Also, a calculation is performed to arrive at a ‘score’, which is based on the percent correct, time to answer and degree of difficulty. It is intended as a gauge of progress or to challenge yourself.
On the Help screen, there is an button that allows you to reset all the questions back to new.
New questions are continually added to the database and no Internet connection is required to play PhlashcardsRN once downloaded to your phone.
