Assessments

Build a mixed-format quiz from any material, get it graded, and see where understanding slipped.

Flashcards check whether a fact comes back. An assessment checks whether you actually understood the material — with seven question formats, automatic grading, and a diagnosis of where your understanding slipped.

Building one

  1. Pick a material

    Questions are written from the passages captured from that one source, not from a generic bank.

  2. Choose how many questions

    Between one and twenty. Ten is a solid session; five is enough to find the gaps.

  3. Choose the formats — or don't

    Balanced mix is the default and usually the right answer: every format, weighted to whatever the material can actually support. Select specific formats only when you are drilling a particular skill.

  4. Generate

    This spends AI credits. Offline, the request is queued and the quiz appears once you are back online.

The question formats

FormatTests
Multiple choiceRecognition — one right answer among plausible distractors.
Select allCompleteness. Partial credit applies, so half an answer scores half.
True / falseWhether a claim survives scrutiny. Quick, and good at catching confident errors.
Fill the blanksRecall of exact terms in their own context.
MatchingRelationships — terms to definitions, causes to effects.
OrderingSequence and process: steps, chronologies, pipelines.
Short answerExplanation in your own words. Graded on meaning, not wording.

Taking the quiz

  • 19 or the letter on a choice's badge selects it.
  • Enter or moves to the next question, back to the previous one.
  • You can move freely between questions and change answers before submitting.

Results and review

Submitting grades every question, including the written ones, and gives you a score with a breakdown. Then open Review, which is where the value is: each question is shown with your answer, the correct one, and an explanation of the difference. Short answers get a note on what was missing rather than a bare mark.

Above the history, three figures track you over time — average score, best score and recent form — and the material picker scopes all of them, so you can see how you are doing on one course rather than across everything at once.

Use assessments after cards, not instead of them.

Flashcards keep individual facts alive; an assessment tells you whether they add up to understanding. A good rhythm is cards through the week and one assessment per material when you finish it.
