A complete exam prep strategy using audio learning, AI summaries, and spaced repetition quizzes.
Step-by-Step Guide
Upload All Course Materials — Upload textbook chapters, lecture notes, and study guides for the exam. Organize them by topic. Tip: Upload materials at least 2 weeks before the exam for optimal spaced repetition.
Generate AI Summaries — Create AI summaries of each document to identify the most important concepts and themes.
Listen to Full Content First — Listen through the complete audio at least once to build a foundation of understanding. Tip: Listen at 1x speed for first pass, then 1.5x for subsequent reviews.
Take AI Quizzes Daily — Generate quizzes and take them daily. Focus review time on topics where you score lowest.
Final Review with Summaries — The day before the exam, listen to all your AI summaries for a comprehensive quick review. Tip: Listen to summaries while walking - the physical activity helps with recall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I start?
Ideally 2-3 weeks before the exam. This gives spaced repetition enough time to move material into long-term memory.
Should I only use audio or combine with reading?
Combine both! Use audio for initial learning and review, and reading for detailed study of complex topics. Multi-modal learning is most effective.
How many hours per day should I study?
Quality over quantity. 2-3 hours of focused audio study with active recall is more effective than 6 hours of passive re-reading.
What if I'm cramming the night before?
Upload your materials and listen to AI summaries on repeat. Take the quiz to identify gaps. It's not ideal, but audio summaries are the most efficient last-minute review method.
