84% said they reread. The method that works best is the one students reach for least, so they need the questions handed to them.

01 · The problem
You make great review material. Then it lives in five places.On Student Acer, it lives in one.
A class holds your courses, practice sets, study guides and chatrooms, all behind one join code.
02 · Classes
One code. Your whole class is in.
Students join with a six-letter code, or with one button if you make the class public.
Courses
Short lessons that teach a topic, then ask practice questions on it.
Practice sets
Multiple choice, free response and flashcards, from your own material.
Study guides
PDFs your students can open, download and read aloud.
Chatrooms
Rooms you set up and manage, so questions don't live in a group text.
03 · Practice sets
Turn a review sheet into practice.

"Which power did the Articles
of Confederation give Congress?",...
Unit 3 · Question 4 of 20
Which power did the Articles of Confederation give Congress?
- ACollect taxes directly
- BMake treaties with other nations
- CRegulate trade between states
- DDraft soldiers
Why B: Congress could make treaties, but it couldn’t tax, so it had no money to back them.
Multiple choice
Every choice can carry its own explanation, so a wrong answer teaches something.
Free response
Students write first, then check their answer against your rubric point by point.
Flashcards
Front, back and a topic, so students can drill one section at a time.
Every question is a retrieval rep, the kind behind the 61%. Type questions into the builder or upload a CSV; the upload page has a ready-made prompt for turning your notes into one.
04 · Review day
Run it live, on the projector.
The low-stakes quizzing from the classroom study, as a game. Host any practice set, share a six-letter room code, and pick one of two modes.
Race
Everyone answers the same questions. Right is +4, wrong is −1, and mini games hand out power-ups.
Whiteboard
You show one question at a time. Students draw or type an answer, and you score each one from 0 to 3.
05 · Who’s behind it
Free for you and your students. Built by one of them.
Student Acer is built and run by Ashton Tran, a high school student. Running a class costs nothing, and questions or corrections go straight to Ashton.
