What they did
Phase 1: ask users to sign up only after they have generated questions. Phase 2: ask which exam it is for and when (students) or to turn on reminders/push notifications (mobile). Phase 3: on returning to the home screen after the review, pick a character, answer 'How'd you hear about us?' and set a weekly goal; an upsell for more questions also appears. Keeps new users from being overwhelmed before they've tried the product.
In their words

“So one is just like signing up at the beginning, which is after you generated questions, then we ask you to sign up.”
“You see that we've kind of like split onboarding to be at these different sort of steps to not overwhelm the user”
