Illinois permit test study modes
Three ways to study beyond the practice tests. Everything you answer is remembered in this browser, with no account, so each mode knows what you've already got right.
Your weak spots
20 questions: the ones you got wrong last time first, then your weakest topics, then questions you haven't seen yet.
Your mistakes are saved in this browser as you practise.
Questions picked from your mistakes
Flashcards
See the question, think of the answer, then flip. Cards you don't know go back in the pile.
All 325 questions as flashcards
Marathon: every question
All 325 questions one after another, with the answer after each. Stop any time; it picks up where you left off.

How your weak spots are worked out
Every answer you give on this site for Illinois, in the practice tests, the simulator or these modes, is saved in your browser. The weak-spots mode starts with the questions you got wrong most recently, then picks questions from the topics where your share of right answers is lowest (once you've answered at least three in a topic), then fills up with questions you haven't seen. Nothing is sent to us; clearing your browser data resets it.
