unlimited exercises at an appropriate level of difficulty
with immediate, detailed feedback and long term progress tracking
Driven by an adaptive learning engine it’ll give you

10. So what does that mean?
Anybody, anywhere,
with any device that can
connect to the web,
can use Intelligent
Practice.

11. Track your progress.
Measure your
performance.
Learn about how you
learn.
