M.A. · B.Ed.
Editor at MojQuiz. Leads the work behind the question pools and long-form pieces on learning, memory, and study technique.
Anu Sawhney is the editor of MojQuiz, where she oversees the editorial process behind the site's quiz question pools and the long-form pieces in the resources section. She joined when the site was rebuilt in 2025 and leads the small in-house team that drafts, fact-checks, and revises every piece of content before it ships.
She holds an M.A. and a B.Ed. — a teacher's qualification that shapes a lot of how the site is edited. The editorial voice that recurs across the long-form pieces (concrete examples, plain language, citations by named researcher and year, no padding for word count) comes out of classroom habits: assume the reader is intelligent but doesn't yet know the topic, and write the page you wish you'd had when you were learning it for the first time.
Editorial focus
Anu's editorial work centres on three areas: how memory and recall actually work (the testing effect, spacing, retrieval practice, the Method of Loci), how to make general-knowledge learning a habit rather than a chore, and how to write quiz questions that are useful for learning rather than just for performing knowledge. That last one is the harder problem: a good quiz question isolates a single fact with a single defensible answer, three plausible distractors, and phrasing that doesn't depend on date interpretation or regional context. Most quiz questions on the internet fail at least one of those bars.
Editorial process
Quiz questions on MojQuiz go through a four-step process before they reach a live pool: a category-brief-driven draft (AI-assisted), a fact-verification pass, a phrasing review for ambiguity and distractor plausibility, and a pool-level review for balance and duplication. That process has missed errors; the 2026 reviews that found and fixed them are described on the standards page. Long-form articles are expected to tie every empirical claim to a named researcher and year. The full editorial standards, including how the team handles AI tooling and corrections, are documented on the editorial standards page.
