Four ways to study

Or read by chapter

Plain English, checked against the official handbook — no copied prose.

Why this is different

Sticky pairs

The test sets traps with similar dates: 1707 vs 1801, 1679 vs 1689, 1805 vs 1815. Recall them as pairs.

Anchor dates

Twenty hub dates form the spine. Every other date is positioned relative to one.

Name discrimination

Constable did Suffolk landscapes; Gainsborough did portraits; Turner did light. Sort it once.

Weak-area focus

Mistakes get prioritised next round. Per-question accuracy lives in your browser.
