Active recall means pulling an answer out of your memory before you look at it. It is harder than re-reading, and that is exactly why it works.

Every question in Memorise mode starts with a prompt to think of the answer first. Only then do you reveal the options or type your response.

If you get it wrong, that is useful too: wrong answers flag the cards that need more attention, and they are scheduled to return in the same session.
