What this is

Questions worth knowing the answer to, and the sources behind them.

Study is a library of study material, free and open to everyone. Pick a subject — budgeting, sleep, a vegetable garden, a pilot’s licence, a history paper — and work through it as cards or as a Challenge. Every question comes with its answer and the reasoning, and every subject shows the public pages it was written from — most answers link straight to the section.

No account, and nothing kept about what you study. It runs right in your browser.

97 subjects

Over 10,000 questions

Over 15,000 answers link to their source

One question, whole

What you get with every question.

The question. The options. The answer, said plainly. Why it is the answer. And where that is written down: every subject lists its sources, and most answers point to the very section — so you never have to take our word for it.

Study Personal Finance & Budgeting Basics

Personal Finance & Budgeting Basics

Before sending money to an unfamiliar "bank" website, what tool does the FDIC suggest using to confirm the institution is actually FDIC-insured?

  1. A credit score simulator built for comparing loan offers
  2. AnnualCreditReport.com
  3. The FDIC's BankFind tool
  4. A state government's business registry lookup

Answer: The FDIC's BankFind tool

BankFind is the FDIC's own lookup built for exactly this problem, letting anyone confirm whether a site claiming to be a bank is a genuinely insured institution before money changes hands.

How it is made

Written from public sources, reviewed, and plain about what it is.

From the source

Every subject starts from pages anyone can read: an agency’s guidance, a standard, a vendor’s own documentation, a university extension service. Every subject lists the pages it was written from, and most answers link to the section itself.

Reviewed before it is published

Every question is reviewed before it goes up. Anything can still be wrong, which is why every subject shows its sources. Check what matters against the official material.

Non-official, always

Where a subject has an awarding body — a licence, an exam — this is not its material and we are not affiliated with it. It is a companion to the official material, never a replacement.

Sources include

NIST · Internal Revenue Service · Consumer Financial Protection Bureau · US Food and Drug Administration · Federal Aviation Administration · National Park Service · MedlinePlus, National Library of Medicine · Ready.gov (FEMA) · National Weather Service · Centers for Disease Control and Prevention · GOV.UK · NC State Extension · and more than 90 others.
