How study works on EADojo

Full guide →
  1. Pick a section

    Choose a topic aligned to the IRS SEE outline.

  2. Answer honestly

    Select an option or flip the card. Attempts are logged anonymously — this helps us spot hard questions and build better decks.

  3. Read the explanation

    Every miss shows the official breakdown. Slow down here; speed comes later.

  4. See your score

    Your misses are saved in this browser so you can retry the same section.

  5. Retry or switch topics

    You can complete your whole study loop on EADojo. No account required.

  6. Optional — EA Coach (experimental) optional

    Experimental free companion: typed-answer practice with AI grading on the same missed topics. Skip anytime — EA Dojo alone is enough.

This loop applies retrieval practice, corrective feedback, and spaced relearning. Read the research behind practice questions versus video lectures.

Difficulty that produces evidence

  1. 1. Strike: answer or generate the rule before revealing it.
  2. 2. Repair: explain a missed distinction in your own words.
  3. 3. Rematch: retrieve the concept again after other questions interfere.
  4. 4. Temper: return after at least 20 hours and win without assistance.

Raw → Forged → Tempered → Masterwork. Hints remain available, but assisted work is reported separately from cold recall.

How source verification works

Every answer review shows its current source status. Primary-source verified means the question has a direct IRS or other official authority link and has been reviewed for the named SEE cycle. Source review pending means the item remains useful practice, but it is not used in the verified readiness diagnostic.

EA Dojo currently publishes 566 primary-source-verified questions and no pending questions. Review status is shown rather than implied, and the official IRS sample questions are linked directly from the practice page.

Sharing and study notes

Articles, lessons, and general guides remain selectable so students can take notes. Assessment material—including practice questions, textbook recall cards, article challenges, answers, and explanations—limits copying and printing to discourage bulk reposting. Right-click and primary-authority links remain available for accessibility and verification. This is practical friction, not a claim that browser-delivered material can be made impossible to extract. Share the page link when recommending a study surface.

What we collect (and why)

When you answer a question, we log whether it was correct — tied to the question ID only, not your name. Aggregate stats show which questions trip people up. That data helps us build smarter review paths and future deck content.

Flashcard sessions also save progress in your browser (localStorage) so you can resume mid-deck. Forge tiers, assistance used, repairs, rematches, and delayed-review dates are also stored only in that browser. Written repair text is not saved or sent.

coach Optional — EA Coach (experimental)

Experimental free companion: typed-answer practice with AI grading on the same missed topics. Skip anytime — EA Dojo alone is enough.

If you finish a round and want typed-answer practice with AI grading, you can optionally try EA Coach, an experimental free companion. Skip it anytime — your EADojo session already counted.
