What’s new
We ship small improvements often. This page lists the changes worth calling out, newest first: new features, refinements, and fixes.
Streaks, redo drills, and the rest of the day
- FixedA streak you kept across your rest days showed as 0, and pulled your readiness score down with it.
- FixedRedoing missed questions asked only the first ten of them, however many the button offered.
- FixedToday's review count could jump after the page loaded and leave no room for the rest of the plan.
- FixedA terminal lab kept the Tab key, so you could not reach the answer box without a mouse.
- FixedYour data download was missing your study emails, trusted browsers, and free domain sittings.
- FixedThe weekly summary email said you had mastered 0 objectives no matter how many you had.
- FixedA large class could show a student as inactive on the instructor roster while they were studying.
No third-party analytics, and a shorter log
- ImprovedWe dropped our analytics provider and removed its script, so no page you read here is reported to anyone outside the providers our Privacy Policy lists.
- FixedA free domain sample you came back to days later could show nine questions and grade you out of ten.
- ImprovedThis page says more in fewer words: one entry a change, one release a day.
Set Today up the way you study
- NewSettings has a Today section: set the minutes you have, pick a pace, and choose what a session may include.
- NewTerminal labs, diagram drills, indicator drills, scenarios and flashcards can now appear on your daily plan.
- ImprovedA quiz is timed at your own pace rather than a flat seven minutes, so the size of your day fits how you work.
- FixedDiagram boards size their positions to the label, and connectors run between areas instead of down the edge.
Sign in with GitHub
- NewYou can sign in with GitHub now, next to Google, and Settings lists which accounts yours is connected to.
- NewIf our email provider has hit its daily limit, you can create the account anyway and verify the address later.
- ImprovedSetup no longer asks for your exam date when you have already given it, including on a second device.
Terminal labs and diagram drills grow up
- ImprovedEach terminal lab now asks two or three questions in the order you would work it, unlocking one at a time.
- NewLabs stay finished: the hub marks one solved, and solving it counts toward your study day.
- NewDiagram drills gained a mixed drill, buttons to jump between boards, and a redo for the ones you missed.
- NewOne free set per mode outside Domain 1, plus a new access review lab on 4.6 and new boards on 4.4.
Two new ways to practise, and a shorter way in
- NewIndicator drills: judge one alert at a time as a true positive, a false positive, or needing more data. 63 alerts, every domain.
- NewDiagram drills: drag devices onto a network map, scored per position with partial credit. 27 boards across 9 objectives.
- ImprovedSetup is one screen, the placement check answers in about three minutes, and day one is a single objective.
- NewThe home page and the PBQ guide each carry a real graded performance-based question, no account needed.
- FixedThe exam countdown emails were not going out. They are now, for anyone with the countdown switched on.
A command line you can practise in
- NewTerminal labs: a simulated Linux host, real commands, and one question answered from what the output shows. Twelve labs, three free.
- ImprovedEvery lesson now carries at least two figures, 87 in all, with numbers, legends and readable typography.
- NewA bug button and a lightbulb button in the header send a report without leaving the page you found it on.
- FixedToday no longer overestimates a review session. It reads how long your cards have actually been taking you.
Class seats, and a clearer mock exam page
- NewSchools can license a block of seats for a semester. Pricing and a quote form are on the schools page.
- ImprovedThe mock exam breakdown names the sitting it came from, and opens that attempt when you click it.
Our mailing address, and a sale that ends on time
- ImprovedOur mailing address is now in the footer, on the contact page, in both policies, and in every email we send.
- FixedA sale that ended while you had the site open could keep showing the discounted price until you refreshed.
Work that quietly went missing
- FixedPassing an objective quiz could leave it with no review cards at all, so it never came up in review.
- FixedOn a shared computer, signing back in as someone else could carry the first account’s queue and streak over.
- FixedReview cards misread their own dates, so a card rated at 9pm claimed you had reviewed it again the next morning.
- ImprovedYour daily plan appears immediately instead of sitting behind a loading placeholder while we check the server.
Answers that gave themselves away
- FixedThe free practice pages answered A more than half the time. They shuffle now, like every page inside the app.
- FixedHotspot questions never put the answer first, and picking again replaces your answer instead of keeping both.
- FixedPassing a quiz on a slow connection could be undone by an earlier attempt landing after it.
- FixedA round of smaller fixes across pricing copy, data export, password rules and email delivery.
A pass over the things that were quietly wrong
- FixedYour plan could lose days, or put your first mock exam after the exam itself, when the date was close.
- FixedPlacing out of several Domain 1 objectives at once buried you in review cards on the same day.
- FixedChanging a setting and closing the tab straight away could undo itself at the next sign-in.
- FixedThe two-factor panel said two-factor was off when it simply could not check.
Today: your study plan, dated to your exam

- NewHeavier domains get more days, and a free account still sees the whole exam with real dates on it.
- FixedLosing your authenticator no longer costs you the account: the reset page takes a recovery code.
- FixedThe placement check is reachable again, and Today stopped quoting review cards it will not show you.
A calmer default, and a look at a locked domain
- NewA free account gets one timed sitting from a locked domain: ten real questions, scored like the mock exam.
- ImprovedThe app opens in Nord, a softer slate blue, rather than the stark high-contrast look.
The site holds together when you translate it
- FixedOnce a page had been translated by your browser, the next thing that changed on screen could blank the view.
Your exam date stays where you put it
- FixedA cleared exam date or exam result no longer comes back from a device that had not caught up.
- FixedOpening a video lesson no longer records the objective over and over on a slow connection.
- FixedThe daily review reminder counts everyone it should, and a referral link still credits whoever shared it.
Your mock exam saves, and your queue is all of it
- FixedA mock exam landing exactly on the pass line failed to save and ran its 90 minutes out unscored.
- FixedYour review queue shows every card in it, past the thousand-row read limit that was hiding the rest.
- FixedSigning in on a shared browser no longer inherits the last person’s study days, streak or flashcard run.
- FixedYour daily question goal is sized from how fast you answer, not from review time counted as answering.
Stats that say what to fix next
- NewThe stats page shows every objective on the blueprint, not only the ones you have already practised.
- NewIt names the domain costing you the most marks rather than the one with the lowest score.
- NewSixty-one new questions put the terms you are meant to confuse on one option list.

Simulations with something real to read
- NewEighteen new performance-based questions hand you a log, a ruleset or scan output and ask you to read it.
- ImprovedQuestions are worded the way CompTIA words its own, opening on "Which of the following".
A mock exam that sits like the real one
- ImprovedEvery form holds its difficulty steady, so a swing in your score is you rather than the draw.
- ImprovedMultiple-response questions went from four a form to twelve, and heavier objectives now draw more questions.
- NewAny mock exam can be exported with your answers, the key and the explanations, as text, Markdown, CSV or JSON.
A hundred fixes across the study loop
- FixedA pass that could not reach your account is kept on your device and sent again the next time the app loads.
- FixedMock exams build from questions you have not worked yet, and cancelling one keeps the ones you answered.
- FixedA shared browser no longer shows you the last person’s mastery, review queue, streak or dashboard.
- ImprovedAround a hundred smaller fixes across quizzes, review, practice, the glossary and accessibility.
Seventeen fixes, and fewer dead ends
- FixedA mock exam landing exactly on 80 percent threw the whole sitting away rather than saving it.
- FixedGrading a review card could report itself saved without saving, if the card came from another device.
- FixedReset your password with two-factor on and the app now stays locked until you finish the second step.
- ImprovedFinishing the last objective in a domain carries you into the next one instead of back to the dashboard.
The mock exam is delivered the way the real one is
- ImprovedTest-center mode is on by default, and the clock hides during a performance-based question exactly as CompTIA says.
- ImprovedA part-finished performance-based question now earns credit for the pieces you got right.
- FixedAn exam that runs out of time is graded rather than thrown away.
- ImprovedA lot less waiting: lessons reopen where you stopped, the dashboard paints at once, and practice remembers your mix.
A review count you can trust
- FixedThe review badge could promise work the review page had nothing to show for.
- FixedSwitching browser tabs mid-review no longer grades the card you were looking at.

Reviews arrive once a day
- FixedA day of reviews used to trickle in by the clock all evening. They now arrive together, once.
- FixedTapping Again on a card brings it back before the session ends instead of pushing it to tomorrow.
- NewYour weakest domain now names the weakest objective inside it, so there is something to go and open.
Study time and streaks count what you did
- FixedTime on a question is measured from when it appears, not from your first tap, so reading it counts.
- FixedA mock exam counted its questions but none of its time, so a day on a full sitting read as no study at all.
- Improved"Exam ready" has to be earned: your weakest domain pulls the number down, and an old mock no longer counts.
- NewThe ports drill remembers you, brings new ports in a dozen a day, and waits for you to confirm an answer.
Select all that apply stops putting answers first

A flashcards screen that is a launch pad

Every page on the site, and a fairer upgrade
- NewA site index at /sitemap lists every page in one place, free sets and guides included.
