Choose the learning task first.

Write the task in a sentence: “I need practice applying fractions” or “I need to track sources for this argument.” Select a resource for that task, then check whether your next attempt improves.

For exam practice, start with the official exam owner’s resources. A tool being useful for learning does not mean it is permitted during an exam.
