Turn your class notes into a practice test with AI
Upload notes, slides or a PDF and get questions that test what you actually need to recall, with an explanation for every answer.
Why a practice test beats rereading your notes
Most students reread their notes, feel ready, and then freeze on the real exam. A practice test from your notes shows the gaps early, because you have to produce an answer instead of just recognizing one.
- Find the topics your notes cover but you have not yet practiced
- Test recall with short-answer questions, not only multiple choice
- Read the explanation for each wrong answer before moving on
- Regenerate the test from new lecture notes as your course progresses
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer
Each practice test mixes question types so you practice recognizing answers and writing them from memory.
Explanations for every answer
Wrong answers show why they are wrong, so you learn the reasoning instead of just the correct letter.
Built from your own material
Questions come from your notes, slides or textbook chapter, so the test matches what your instructor covers.
