5-Day Email Course
Assessment that measures learning
One evidence-backed assessment practice a day, for five days — retrieval practice, flaw-free MCQs, blueprinting, item statistics, and formative assessment at scale. Every email cites its sources and pairs the idea with a free tool you can use the same day. Written for teachers, exam units and training centers.
What arrives, day by day
Day 1
The most effective study technique is a test
Retrieval practice beats re-reading — and it's the cheapest change you can make.
Day 2
Most MCQ flaws are structural, and checkable
Grammatical cues, implausible distractors, all-of-the-above: flaws testwise students exploit.
Day 3
Blueprint before you write a single question
A one-page grid of topics × cognitive levels keeps an exam honest about what it tests.
Day 4
What your item statistics are trying to tell you
Difficulty, discrimination, distractor counts — the after-exam numbers, in plain words.
Day 5
Assessment that teaches while it measures
Hinge questions, minute papers, muddiest point — formative assessment you can run at scale.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free — what's the catch?
It's free and complete in itself. The course exists because the practices it teaches are what StudyDrome (our assessment platform) automates — day 5 says so plainly, once, and that's the whole pitch. No trial, no card, no gated 'day 6'.
How long are the emails?
Two minutes each: one idea, why the evidence supports it, and one concrete action with a free tool or template to do it today. Sources are cited at the bottom of every email.
Can I stop mid-course?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe that works immediately — no login, no 'are you sure' emails afterwards.
Who is it for?
Anyone who writes or runs assessments: teachers, university exam units, medical educators, training centers. The examples lean practical rather than academic — the source books are cited for anyone who wants the depth.
