Hi,
In the past I have used Smart Revise for CA1, ST2 & ST5, and have always found it a very useful revision aid. However, this time I notice that it has been replaced with MyTest; which I have ordered for SA2.
It may be early days in terms of me using MyTest, but there are certainly some features of Smart Revise that I am missing. These include:
Given these differences in the two revision aids, I was just wondering why it was decided to replace Smart Revise with MyTest for the later, wordier subjects?
Thanks.

It may be early days in terms of me using MyTest, but there are certainly some features of Smart Revise that I am missing. These include:
- The ability to study questions from particular individual chapters, rather than having to look at questions from a full part of the course in one go. I used to like revising a chapter on Smart Revise straight after I finished a chapter of the notes; to help cement the content.
- How Smart Revise used to suggest how many questions you should undertake in a revision session, as I found this gave me a good idea of the pace of revision I should be doing.
- When you got a question wrong, Smart Revise would put the question to the "back of the pack" and re-ask it once it had gone through all the other questions. This way it made you actively re-visit the questions you got wrong until you get it right. MyTest, on the other hand, just marks the question as wrong and that is that.
- The ability to mark my answer to a question as a "maybe" right rather than a straight "yes" it was right or "no" it was wrong. I found this particularly useful for wordy answers where you get the general idea but feel as though you didn't get it completely correct.
Given these differences in the two revision aids, I was just wondering why it was decided to replace Smart Revise with MyTest for the later, wordier subjects?
Thanks.
