Use it to test yourself, not to re-read
Cover a section, explain it out loud in your own words, then uncover and check. Re-reading feels productive but builds little memory.
Start with what the material emphasizes
Ideas your instructor repeats, works through as examples or flags as important deserve the most practice time.
Turn common mistakes into questions
For each common mistake, write a question that would catch it. That's exactly the kind of question exams use to separate students.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the summarizer?
The summarizer makes a one-page cheat sheet. The study guide is more thorough: it covers every concept, explains examples step by step and adds common mistakes.
Can I build a guide for a whole course?
The free tool handles about 8,000 characters at a time. With a free account you can upload full lectures and readings, and TurboStudy organizes them into topics across the course.
Will it tell me what's on my exam?
No tool can know what's on your exam. The guide shows what your material emphasizes — repeated ideas, worked examples and highlighted definitions — so you can prioritize.
Is the study guide accurate?
It's written only from the text you provide, but AI can make mistakes. Check important details against your course material.
Do you keep my file or text?
We read your text to generate the result and don't save the file or add anything to an account. If you choose “Save and generate more”, the text is kept in your browser until you create a free account and import it.
