Recall is cheap. Understanding is expensive.
A question bank teaches you to recognise answers. You grind it, you pass, and within a month the knowledge is gone, because recognising an answer was never the same skill as understanding a subject.
Socrates teaches differently, and much the way a good tutor always has. He explains, then asks you to say it back in your own words, then follows the thread wherever your reasoning is thinnest. It has a name — the Socratic method: he asks, you reason, and the understanding is yours because you built it. The conversation is the teaching. Anyone can sound right once. Talking it through a second and a third time is how a thing stops being borrowed and becomes yours. When words aren't enough, you can sketch it — a diagram or a formula, drawn with your finger or a stylus — and then talk him through it.
This is slower than cramming, deliberately so. What you leave with is knowledge that survives contact with a real problem: the incident at three in the morning, or the interview where the follow-up question arrives.
Four states. Only one of them counts.
Every topic you cover sits in one of four states. Socrates keeps the record for you, so you never have to guess at what you actually know.
No question bank sits behind this. There is nothing to memorise and nothing to game.
Four tracks at launch. One method throughout.
The method never changes: you move on by explaining what you know. What changes is the goal you are working toward.
Learn it properly, then sit the exam
Every objective, taught and talked through. Socrates won't call you ready until you can explain the material yourself, so passing becomes a side-effect of understanding it.

Using it, not just knowing it
Apply moves from knowing a thing to doing it, through real scenarios where the knowledge has to survive contact. Interview preparation is one part of it. Founding members receive it first.
Four things Socrates does differently.
These are constraints written into the product, not preferences. They are the reason the record means anything.
He checks before he moves on
Tell him you already know the basics and he'll still walk through them with you. Not to catch you out — because how you explain a thing tells him where to begin, and nobody is a reliable judge of what they half-remember.
He doesn't hand you the answer
What he grades against is generated and held on the server. It never reaches your browser. Being told a thing has never been the same as knowing it, and he'd rather walk you there.
Your lessons stay yours
Nothing from one learner's session ever enters another's. What you got wrong stays between the two of you.
He waits for it to stick
A topic is proven when you've explained it in your own words more than once, on separate days, unaided. Everything short of that, he'll happily revisit.
