Heads up: Cram Mode has been replaced with Study Blocks. Same idea of focused, manageable sessions, now with smarter review built in. This article walks through how it works.

What is Study Blocks?

Study Blocks splits the Prepry question bank into smaller, focused study areas so you can target one topic at a time. Each block holds 25 questions, and you can rate every question as you go so the app brings hard ones back sooner and pushes easy ones out. It works for ARDMS, ARRT, and CCI exam prep on web and mobile.

1. Open the Study Blocks section

From the main screen, select Study Blocks. This opens the Study Blocks screen, where the question bank is broken into smaller, focused study areas.

2. Choose how the content is organized

Study Blocks splits the question bank into focused sections. You can study by:

· Chapter based categories such as ARDMS, ARRT, or CCI exam outline sections

· Specific topics within an exam area

For example, the Physics/SPI exam is divided into smaller topic blocks so you can target one area at a time.

3. Pick your study format

At the top of the screen, choose how you want to study:

· Quiz for traditional multiple choice questions

· Flashcards to review the same material in flashcard format

4. Select a study mode or topic block

Pick a study mode such as Fundamentals. Each block contains 25 questions so every session stays manageable and focused instead of overwhelming you with the full question bank.

5. Turn on question rating to personalize review

Enable Rate Our Questions before starting the quiz. During the quiz, rate each question based on how well you understood it:

· Again: missed it and want to see it soon

· Hard: needs more review, comes back sooner

· Good: reappears in about four days

· Easy: pushed back so you can focus on harder topics

6. Take the quiz and answer questions normally

The quiz works like a standard multiple choice quiz. Answer each question, then use the understanding rating to control when it appears again. Questions you struggle with come back sooner, and easier ones get delayed.

7. Track your progress in Study Blocks

As you study, your progress updates inside the Study Blocks section. You can see metrics such as:

· Whether you have seen the question

· How many you got incorrect

· New questions

· Learning questions

· Learned questions

Why Study Blocks works

The main goal of Study Blocks is to help you study one topic at a time and spend more time on the questions that need the most review. That makes studying more focused, efficient, and less overwhelming than trying to grind through the full question bank in one go.
