What is Recall mode?

Recall mode tests whether you truly know a range by asking you to reproduce it from memory. Instead of answering one hand at a time, you paint the entire 13×13 grid, then check your answer against the correct range. This is a harder test than Decision mode, but it builds deeper knowledge.

​
Starting a Recall mode session

​
Quick approach

  1. Open a spot in the Study workspace.
  2. Click Train in the toolbar.
  3. Switch the mode to Recall before starting.

​
From a study plan

  1. Go to Train in the nav rail.
  2. Select a study plan.
  3. Set the mode to Recall.
  4. Click Start.

How a Recall session works

1

You see an empty grid

RangeSharp shows you a blank 13×13 grid, along with the spot information (position, action line, stack depth) so you know which range to reproduce.
2

Paint the range from memory

Use the action palette and paint the cells you think are correct. You can use all the same tools as in the Study workspace — click, drag, keyboard shortcuts.
3

Click Check when you're done

When you’ve painted everything you remember, click Check to compare your answer against the actual range.
4

Review the diff

RangeSharp overlays your answer on top of the correct range and highlights:
  • Correct cells — Hands you got right
  • Missed cells — Hands in the correct range that you didn’t paint
  • Wrong cells — Hands you painted that aren’t in the correct range
You see an overall accuracy score and can study the specific differences.

​
Scoring in Recall mode

Your recall accuracy is calculated cell by cell:
  • Each cell you painted correctly counts as a match
  • Each cell you missed or got wrong counts as an error
  • The final score is the percentage of cells that match the correct range

When to use Recall mode

SituationUse Recall mode?
Learning a brand-new rangeNo — use Decision mode first
You score 80%+ consistently in Decision modeYes — time to test deeper knowledge
Preparing for a live sessionYes — if you can recall the full range, you know it well
You want to verify a range you importedYes — paint it from memory, then compare
Recall mode is the gold standard for range mastery. If you can accurately reproduce a range from memory in Recall mode, you truly own that knowledge and will perform better at the table.

Tips

  • Start with simple ranges. Try recalling a tight UTG opening range before attempting a complex BB defense range.
  • Don’t worry about exact frequencies. In Recall mode, focus on getting the correct actions on each cell. Frequency precision comes with practice.
  • Use the diff view to study. After checking, spend a minute looking at which cells you missed. These are the hands you need to focus on in your next Decision mode session.
