GPA Review Guide

Offline Guide

Overview

The Review tab runs quiz‑style sessions with fairness rules, per‑item timing, repetitions, grading, and YAML/grouped exports. It only quizzes items that have recordings.

Below are three practical ways to use the app with GPA "Dirty Dozen" activities.

Default: record after the session for independent review

  1. Prepare your folders (images/videos) in advance and open them in the app.
  2. Meet with a native speaker and collect a small set of words/phrases using props, real‑world context, or paper notes.
  3. After the session, use the Videos and Images tabs to record a clean prompt/definition for each item. Each WAV will share the media filename.
  4. Open the Review tab and set repetitions to 3–5. Quiz yourself on the recorded items (the Review tab only shows items with recordings).
  5. Repeat until comfortable; add new items to your folder and record prompts, then review again.

Tip: Configure fairness rules, timing, and sounds in the Review header. Export session stats as YAML and use grouped export when needed.

Alternate: train a partner during the session

  1. Prepare and open your folders in the app.
  2. Record one word (Videos or Images tab), then switch to Review and quiz it (set reps to 3–5).
  3. Add one new word, record it, then quiz the growing set in Review.
  4. Repeat until you reach twelve items ("Dirty Dozen").
  5. Use this flow to help a native speaker partner see and practice the add‑one‑quiz process.

Alternate: maximize limited face‑time

  1. Prepare a picture dictionary of the words you need to learn and open the folder in the app.
  2. When you have limited time with a native speaker, record prompts quickly for as many items as possible.
  3. Later, in the Review tab, use Items per Session to simulate Dirty Dozen: start with 2, quiz; then 3, quiz; then 4, etc.

Note: Live, interactive activities with real‑world context are ideal. If that's not feasible, this app helps you learn efficiently with limited access.
