Say the definition out loud, then check yourself.
Spaced repetition, briefly
Each word comes back just before you would have forgotten it. Answer well and the gap until you see it again grows; answer badly and it shrinks back to nothing. Words you find hard keep turning up, words you know get out of your way.
Grading yourself honestly
Say the definition out loud before you show it, then grade what actually happened: Again if you drew a blank, Hard if it came slowly, Good if it came, Easy if it was instant. The number under each button is when the word would come back. Grading yourself generously only buys you a word you will have forgotten by test day.
Used in context
Every card has a sentence using the word, written for this deck and not taken from any test question. Opening it before the definition caps that card at Hard — a word you needed help with is not yet a word you know, and the schedule should not pretend otherwise. Opening it after you have already checked yourself costs nothing.
Ten new words a day
New words arrive ten at a time, which is what stops all 230 from landing in one evening and coming due together forever after. Change the number under Progress.
Keep it on your phone
Added to your home screen it opens like an app: full screen, no address bar, one tap from wherever you keep it.

Your progress stays here
It lives in this browser, on this device. There is no account and nothing is sent anywhere. A different phone means different progress, and clearing your site data erases it — as does Safari's automatic purge for sites you have not opened in a week, which visiting it fixes.
Built and kept up by Douglas Lawrence of Lawrence LSAT Preparation, for his students and for anyone else who wants it.
The words are ones that actually turn up in LSAT Reading Comprehension passages and Logical Reasoning arguments, each defined in the sense the test uses rather than the first sense a dictionary gives. The example sentences are written fresh for this deck.
Free to use, and free to pass on.
