Frequently asked
If I'm a recent grad, do I need Hurst?
Probably not. Hurst shines for content rebuilds. Recent grads usually need question practice more than content review.
Can NR replace Hurst's content?
Question rationales cover content, but they're not structured content review. If your content baseline is weak, layer a content-only tool with NR.
