Rereading notes feels productive and does very little. Being asked a question you cannot answer is unpleasant and works. Most of the gap between people who do well and people who studied just as long comes down to which of those two they spent their evenings on.
Upload your notes and Studyflash quizzes you on them. It is an AI quiz generator that reads what you actually have to know, so the questions come from your own material rather than from a generic question bank for the subject.
Quizzes
Four question types: single choice, multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blank, where the answer is judged on meaning so a correct synonym is not marked wrong. You choose how many questions and which types.
Every answer comes back with the correct one and an explanation drawn from your own material rather than a generic definition, which matters when your lecturer's version of a concept differs from the textbook's. Sort the results by incorrect and you have your revision list for the next session.
Mock exams
Mock exams work at course level. They pull from every deck and every file in the course rather than one deck at a time, and they are timed and graded.
You can upload an actual past paper, or a handful of example questions, and Studyflash will match its structure and question style. Six question types are available, including short answer and essay questions graded against your material, matching, and computational problems.
When to use which
Quiz after finishing a topic, while there is still time to go back over it. Mock exam about a week out, which is late enough to have covered the material and early enough to fix whatever the exam exposes.
Questions and answers
Single choice, multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blank. The fill-in-the-blank answers are evaluated on meaning, so paraphrases and synonyms count.
A quiz tests one deck. A mock exam is course-level, timed, graded, and can be modelled on a past paper you upload.
Yes. Short answer and essay questions in mock exams are graded by AI against your own material.
Quizzes are on the free plan, within its monthly generation allowance. Mock exams are Premium.
