Questions people ask
- Is the general knowledge practice free?
- Yes. Every question, explanation, test and flashcard deck is free, with no plans or paywalls.
- How do new topics appear?
- We open GK one topic at a time. A topic goes live when it has enough questions with explanations, so you only see topics that are ready.
- Are the facts kept up to date?
- We avoid facts that change quickly, such as current office holders or records. Where a question depends on a year, the question or the explanation says so.
- Can I take a timed test?
- Yes. When a topic has a test it appears on this page and runs on a real timer, with a full review at the end.
