How to use a gimkit application with your own study material

Whether you need a gimkit application review for a class or want to practice applying a concept to new problems, the fastest starting point is the material you already have. Application questions ask you to use a rule, formula or idea on a fresh example rather than repeat a definition, and they are easiest to write when they come from your own lecture slides or reading.

Start with one unit or chapter so the question set stays focused.
Read the explanation for every wrong answer, not just the correct one.
Redo missed application questions a day later to check retention.
Use short answer questions to practice explaining each step in your own words.

Example application-level study questions

A 4 kg cart is pushed with a net force of 12 N. What is its acceleration?3 m/s², from a = F/m = 12 N ÷ 4 kg, using Newton's second law.

Convert 2.5 L to milliliters.2,500 mL, because there are 1,000 mL in each liter.

A right triangle has legs of 6 cm and 8 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?10 cm, because c = √(6² + 8²) = √100 = 10.

True or false: if voltage doubles across a fixed resistor, the current doubles too.True, because by Ohm's law I = V/R, so with R fixed, current is proportional to voltage.

Frequently asked questions

How do I study for application questions instead of memorizing facts?

Work through a worked example, then cover the steps and try the same method on a new number or scenario. Explaining each step out loud helps show whether you can transfer the idea.

What kinds of questions test application?

Application questions give you a new situation and ask you to choose or apply the right rule, formula or method. Short answer and scenario-based multiple-choice questions are usually the best practice for this.

Can I export my questions to QTI or Moodle XML?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are available on Plus.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.
