@myweekendisallbooked Thanks! Can you say more? Do you mean that you'd like the quick drill to also launch RC drills and it would be random whether you get LR or RC? Or did you mean a separate quick drill button for RC?
@mjhmjh short answer: quick drills are quicker (surprise!) and meant to be one-offs. The smart drills are customizable and meant to be done in sequence.
Longer answer.
\1. The drilling algorithm is different.
Quick drills pick five LR questions of random difficulty from your highest-priority tags. They are always unlimited-time.
Smart drills follow a progression developed by our tutors. They first determine whether you should work on LR or RC next, then pick a tag for you to focus on, and finally pick a sequence of drills and sections. The drills are more variable than quick drills.
\2. Smart drills can be customized; quick drills cannot.
Quick drills skip the start/customize screen.
Let me know if you have more questions. I'd love to hear how (or whether) you're using both features.
Is it possible to change it to one-question-at-a-time by default vs five questions? I like the ability to just jump in and start drilling without having to answer five questions

I love this. Is there any way we might be able to see RC functionality soon?

@J.Y.Ping Yes, the second option! A separate quick drill for RC. It might also be cool to get random LR or RC.
How does this differ from the smart drills below?

@hombre Yup, that's in the works.
