CDL Practice FAQ

This FAQ exists to support the training product, not to pad the site. Each answer is meant to help you decide how to use the current round more intelligently.

Should I start with mixed practice or topic drill?

Start with mixed practice when you still need signal. Use topic drill when the result page already exposed a repeat weak cluster and you want to pressure-test that one area directly.

What does recovery mode actually do?

Recovery mode is meant to route you back toward the weak area that recent sessions keep surfacing. It is not a victory lap mode. It is a repair mode.

How should I read a low score in timed mode?

Do not assume the miss came from speed alone. Timed mode exposes both knowledge gaps and pressure failures. Review has to decide which one actually caused the miss.

What is the progress page really for?

The progress page is a persistence surface. It shows whether the same weakness keeps surviving across sessions, whether your mode mix is too narrow, and whether your recent scores are improving or slipping.

When is a quick session useful?

Quick mode is useful for calibration, not verdict. It is a short pulse check. If the result matters, confirm it with a fuller mixed or topic-focused round.
