Frequently asked questions

Why use quiz questions for Rework?

Quiz-style recall is more durable than passive rereading because it forces you to retrieve the idea instead of merely recognizing it.

How should I answer active recall prompts?

Answer from memory first, then review the relevant chapter summary only after you have tried to explain the idea on your own.

What if I miss several questions about Rework?

That usually means the book needs a shorter review loop. Revisit the chapter summaries, keep only a few high-value takeaways, and test yourself again later.
