What your study guide includes
Each upload becomes one study pack, and the pack is your study guide. It has four parts that work together:
- Revision notes: a heading for each main topic, key terms with short definitions and the main points as bullets.
- A practice quiz: up to 10 questions per pack on the free plan and up to 30 on Pro and Extreme, multiple-choice and short-answer, each with a short explanation.
- Flashcards: up to 20 cards per pack on the free plan and up to 40 on Pro and Extreme, marked Got it or Again so missed cards come back.
- Weak topics: the topics you got wrong most often, ranked, so you know what to revise next.
- On Pro and Extreme, the notes also download as a PDF for printing or annotating.
Learn first, then test yourself
A study guide only works if you use it actively. Read one section of the notes, close it and try to explain each heading from memory. Then take the quiz without looking. The questions show what you actually remember rather than what merely looks familiar, and your weak topics point you back to the parts of the notes worth a second read.
The testing part matters most. A large review by Dunlosky and colleagues (2013) rated practice testing and spreading study over several sessions as highly useful revision techniques, and rated re-reading and highlighting as low utility. So come back to the same guide a few days later and take the quiz again, rather than reading the notes one more time.
An example: one lecture, one guide
Here is the kind of guide a single biology lecture produces. This example was written for this page to show the format; it isn't copied from a real pack.
- Notes: a heading for the light-dependent reactions, with thylakoid, ATP and NADPH each defined in a line.
- Quiz: "Which gas is released when water is split in the light-dependent reactions?", with four options and a one-line explanation of the answer.
- Flashcard: "What two energy carriers do the light-dependent reactions produce?" on the front, "ATP and NADPH" on the back.
- Weak topics: if you miss both questions on the Calvin cycle, it moves to the top of your list.
Getting a better study guide
- Upload one lecture, chapter or topic per pack. A focused file gives clearer headings and sharper questions than a whole semester at once.
- Material with clear section titles produces the best-organised notes, because the headings follow its structure.
- Use a PDF with selectable text. Scanned pages (photos of paper) aren't supported yet: if you can highlight and copy the words in your PDF viewer, it will work.
- PowerPoint (.pptx), Word (.docx) and plain text files work too, up to 20 MB (50 MB on Extreme), or you can paste text straight in.
- Very long files are trimmed to roughly the first 45,000 words, and you're told when that happens, so split big readings into chapters.
A revision guide, not a shortcut
Your guide is written only from your upload, so it uses your course's terms and examples. AI can still misread or oversimplify something, so check anything important, such as formulas and definitions, against your slides. EduCorrect is a learning aid. It turns material you already have into practice and never writes essays or answers assignment questions for you.
