This is very helpful however I haven't given 5 stars because of the incomplete answers. For example: On several occasions you have asked: "Define the term personification. Write a sentence using personification." When you flip the card over, though, the definition is there but not the example. This annoyed me a little bit because I could've really done with the example to further explain the term. Great revision tool but if incomplete then its a tad bit useless. :)
