Turn your notes into a consolidated, organized study guide: topics, key points, terms, and what's most likely to be tested.
PDF or Word. We pull them in and organize from there.
A study guide is not a second copy of your notes. It is a reduction: a term of lectures, readings and slides rearranged by topic, so everything about one concept sits together and the definitions stop being scattered across the whole term. That rearranging is the slow part, and it is the part this tool takes over: paste or import your material and get an organized guide with topic summaries, key points, key terms, and the areas your own material treats as most important.
Notes arrive in the order the lectures happened, which is rarely the order the material makes sense in. The guide groups related ideas into topics, each with a short summary and its key points underneath, so a concept introduced early in the term and revisited near the end ends up in one section.
Definitions get pulled out of the prose into a single list of key terms. That list is the fastest thing to self-test from: cover the definitions, say each one out loud, then check.
The guide closes with the areas it reads as most likely to be tested. That is a judgement made from your own material, not a prediction of the exam, so use it to decide where to start and check it against your syllabus.
Import a PDF or Word file instead of retyping, and the guide is written from the material you supply rather than from outside sources. Read it next to your notes before you revise from it, because a summary can still compress the wrong thing or skip a point you needed. If a topic was thin in your notes it will be thin in the guide, which is worth finding out now rather than the night before.
Yes. Build a study guide at no cost, and a free account saves your work and comes with higher daily limits.
Gather every source for the unit (lecture notes, slides, readings), group the content by topic instead of by date, write a two or three line summary for each topic, then pull all the definitions into one list. Pasting or importing your notes here handles the grouping and summarizing so you can spend the time on the self-testing.
No, and be wary of anything that says it can. It highlights what your own material emphasizes, which is a reasonable place to start, but only your syllabus, past papers and your instructor tell you what is actually assessed.
Making the guide and studying from it are two different jobs. Reading it back feels productive because everything looks familiar, but familiarity is recognition, not recall. Cover a section and try to say it back, or turn the key points into questions and answer them cold.
Yes. Switch to “Key terms only” and paste your notes: you get a plain-language glossary of the ten to twenty terms your material tests you on, each defined without using the term itself, ordered roughly by importance.
Collect every source for the unit, then pull out the words that are defined once and used throughout, and define each one without reusing the word itself. The “Key terms only” mode does exactly that from the notes you paste or upload.
