Ten steps, and the last one is the next morning. No two steps do the same job.
types a gap · only what the paper asks
why this step
154 sentences across the seventeen stops the test actually asks about — nothing on the thirteen it does not. Everything missed is queued automatically, which is what makes step 2 possible.
your own misses · while you still remember being unsure
why this step
Every item is one you just got wrong. Nothing else on the path is this well aimed — it beats guessing which goals to drill, because step 1 has already found them.
types a whole word from the English · recall, not recognition
why this step
Cards from all seventeen stops the paper reaches, in one sitting. It ends with a nationality the app never taught, to see whether the ending rule transferred.
reads a rule and applies it · the only step that explains
why this step
The four forms, and the possessive that answers them, on one card — « quel pays » / « ton pays », « quelle ville » / « ta ville ». A learner who can ask the question can already give the answer.
types verb forms across a paradigm · the only conjugation step
why this step
être · avoir · faire · aller · s'appeler · aimer. Nothing else on this path drills a whole paradigm.
arranges words that are given · the only step about order
why this step
Word order is the first thing a learner loses. Every other drill asks for a word, never for where the words go.
reads a whole text and answers on it · the only reading step
why this step
Five questions, and not one is answered by matching a word: « marocaine » is asked back as the country, « mon frère » as whose brother. The text stays on screen the whole time.
composes sentences to a set word list · written production
why this step
Five sentences, sixteen words to draw on, 50–60 words. The list ticks a verb only when you conjugate it.
writes what it hears · the only listening step
why this step
One text, not three — goal 27's days, times and plans. The paper's listening is ten marks and this is the only step that answers it.
the same misses, spaced · retention rather than correction
why this step
A different job from step 2: that one corrects, this one makes it stick. Every step before it will have added to the queue.
Optional · 8 more
Only when there is time left after the 10. Best first: take from the top of this list and stop when you run out of time.
numbers by ear · 24-hour times, prices, a phone number
why this step
Worth about four marks and nothing else in the app says « seize heures trente » or « zéro six, vingt-sept, soixante-huit ». Do this one first if there is any time at all.
reads a rule and applies it
why this step
le / la / l' / les, by ending and by vowel. The only place a country the course never taught is explained.
depth where the diagnostic found weakness
why this step
Cut from the essential tier because it is step 1's mechanic a second time. Worth it only when step 1 shows a specific goal weak.
speaks · the only spoken step
why this step
Ten words, said out loud. Nothing on Test 1 scores speaking — this one is for the course, not the paper.
écouter · adorer · acheter · vouloir
why this step
Two more -ER, the -eR spelling change, and vouloir.
hears your own paragraph read back
why this step
Type what you wrote in step 6 and listen to it — your own French in your own ear.
