Difficulty that produces evidence
- 1. Strike: answer or generate the rule before revealing it.
- 2. Repair: explain a missed distinction in your own words.
- 3. Rematch: retrieve the concept again after other questions interfere.
- 4. Temper: return after at least 20 hours and win without assistance.
Raw → Forged → Tempered → Masterwork. Hints remain available, but assisted work is reported separately from cold recall.
How source verification works
Every answer review shows its current source status. Primary-source verified means the question passed the current-cycle release gate, has official authority links, and is not in the evidence quarantine. Source review pending or quarantined items are withheld from every learner deck, not merely from the readiness diagnostic.
EA Dojo currently publishes 939 learner-admissible questions. Candidate records outside that count remain pending or quarantined. Review status is shown rather than implied, and the official IRS sample questions are linked directly from the practice page.
Sharing and study notes
Articles, lessons, and general guides remain selectable so students can take notes. Assessment material—including practice questions, textbook recall cards, article challenges, answers, and explanations—limits copying and printing to discourage bulk reposting. Right-click and primary-authority links remain available for accessibility and verification. This is practical friction, not a claim that browser-delivered material can be made impossible to extract. Share the page link when recommending a study surface.
What we collect (and why)
When you answer a question, we log whether it was correct — tied to the question ID only, not your name. Aggregate stats show which questions trip people up. That data helps us build smarter review paths and future deck content.
Flashcard sessions also save progress in your browser (localStorage) so you can resume mid-deck. Forge tiers, assistance used, repair counts, rematches, and delayed-review dates are also stored only in that browser. A written Forge repair draft is kept temporarily in this tab's sessionStorage so it can survive in-session navigation; it is not sent to EA Dojo.
Optional — EA Coach (experimental)
Experimental free companion: typed-answer practice with AI grading on the same missed topics. Skip anytime — EA Dojo alone is enough.
If you finish a round and want typed-answer practice with AI grading, you can optionally try EA Coach, an experimental free companion. Skip it anytime — your EADojo session already counted.
