Exam prep with practice questions
Practising with questions beats rereading your notes, and AI can make as many practice questions as you need.
01 · The idea
Rereading feels productive because the material looks familiar. Testing yourself is harder and works much better, because pulling an answer out of your memory strengthens it. Researchers call this retrieval practice.
Paste your notes or the topic list and ask for questions in the style of your exam: multiple choice, short answer, or longer problems. Ask for a mix of easy and hard, and for the answers to be hidden until you ask.
Answer on paper first, then check. For every wrong answer, ask why your choice was wrong. Mistakes are the most useful part of the session.
Check the questions too. AI can write a question with two right answers or a wrong answer key, especially in maths and science. If something seems off, look it up in your textbook.
02 · Think of it like this
It is like football practice. You do not get better by watching match replays. You get better by taking shots and seeing which ones miss.
