Most study sites let you create study lists and flash cards, then they just send you back through the same pile over and over again. Headmagnet actually tracks what you're recalling and what you're not and tweaks your study routines to help you recall the things you're forgetting. In addition to tracking your scores to tweak your flash card stacks, Headmagnet lets you view the stats yourself. You can check out how well you're doing, how frequently you've been studying, and crunch the numbers to see if your study time is paying off.

I think you might learn more from creating the test than taking it but still useful

A key reason some ideas are so successful, conventional wisdom has held, is that a few highly influential people espouse them. In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that what he calls "social epidemics" are "driven by the efforts of a handful of exceptional people." Those exceptional people tend to be experts on a subject who love to talk. Such people can convince dozens of others of their opinions. An excellent sales strategy, then, would be to find those few critical people, persuade them of the value of your product, and leave it to them to convince others. It's a compelling idea, but does it really work? Social network theorists Duncan J. Watts of Columbia University and Peter Sheridan Dodds of the University of Vermont in Burlington decided to put the notion to a test. What they found is a disappointment for "viral marketers" who specialize in selling products by influencing influential people.
