A 20-question quiz is provided at the end of each study session enabling users to test their knowledge of the material. An answer key indicates the correct response and reference for each of the 200 total questions.

The format of the Commentary includes the full text of each section, table and figure in the code, followed immediately by the commentary applicable to that text.
