Each individual message ordered costs 0.50 cents per message

Code for ALL messages in a group is at 0.50 cents for the 1st msg and 0.30 cents for all other messages->

e.g. 5 messages in total = .50 cents + 4 X .30 cents = $1.70 (instead of $2.50 if all five were downloaded on their own)

Download a PDF file of the message list below for your computer or to print out and use.

The questions have been grouped into sets of 5 messages. This does not overload the SIM card or memory on your cellphone and allows you to study a small group of messages at a time. It is also more economical to download.

Work with other students in your course and co-ordinate what messages you download and forward them to each other to reduce costs. Use the small gaps of time in your day (waiting for a bus, traveling to Uni, etc.) to 'snack on study' with the StudyTXT messages.
