Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of textbook pages. The text is extracted and turned into cards that follow your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the topics you are still shaky on.

Quizzes with explanations

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions include explanations, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is right.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a unit PDF, a slide deck, a DOCX handout or a photo of your notes. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose flashcards or a quiz

Pick flashcards for vocabulary and key studies, or a quiz for practice under exam-style conditions.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser each day. The spaced repetition schedule adjusts as you answer, so you focus on weak spots before the exam.

AP Psychology covers a wide range of units, from biological bases of behavior and learning to research methods and psychological disorders. A set built from your own class notes and readings keeps the terms and studies you were actually taught in front of you, instead of a list that skips half your course.

Generate a set from each unit as you finish it, then mix cards from all units in a few weeks before the exam. Quizzes with explanations show you which concepts, like confusing similar terms or research designs, need another pass.
