Exam prep from your notes. Snap what's on the test. Get practice tests like the real one and a plan for every day until it. StudyLess turns your class notes, handouts and old tests into practice tests set out like your real one, marks every written answer point by point, and plans every day until the test. PRACTICE TESTS FROM YOUR NOTES Snap a handout or your notes, or add a PDF or slides, and get a practice test from them: multiple choice, short answer and written questions, each with its points, in the order a real test sets them. Pick your exam (AP, SAT, IB or your school's own test) and the questions follow its question types and command words. ADD AN OLD TEST, GET ITS SHAPE Add last year's test and your practice test follows its sections, question types and time. EVERY WRITTEN ANSWER, MARKED POINT BY POINT Each written answer is marked against every point of its scoring guide: right, partly right or missing, with what your answer left out and a model answer. Missed questions go to your Mistakes list to try again, and Blurting checks what you can write from memory. A STUDY PLAN FOR EVERY DAY UNTIL THE TEST Give a test its date and what it covers. StudyLess lays out every day to it, sized to the minutes you have: learn each unit's flashcards, a check on the units you've learned, a mock exam before the test (two with a week or more), mistakes again and a last look on the morning. Miss a day and the plan catches up; reviews that are due stay due. Five subjects at once? Home shows today across all of them. FLASHCARDS FOR WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Every material gets its key terms and flashcards. Learn them with Drill, Match and Blocks, and FSRS spaced repetition brings each card back just before you'd forget it. When today's reviews are done, you're done for the day. STUDY NOTES FROM YOUR PHOTOS Each material becomes clear notes by unit, with page chips back to the source. The notes are yours to edit, or ask for a rewrite; Undo brings back the version before. RECORD A LECTURE OR ADD YOUTUBE Record a lecture and the words appear as you listen; afterwards it becomes notes and flashcards. Or paste a YouTube lecture link. ASK ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL Chat answers from your own notes and sources, with the page. Ask it to teach you a unit and it explains, then asks you one question to check you've got it. PODCAST Your notes as an episode in two voices, a quiz you answer out loud or a short brief. Episodes are Pro; Free gets a short brief each week. ALSO INCLUDED A study timer and streak, a calendar of your tests, a class link classmates can study without an account, dark mode and exporting your data. Works on iPhone and iPad, with Home Screen widgets. In English and Korean. No ads. FREE AND PRO Free: 2 uploads a week (a batch of photos or a PDF, a class recording or a YouTube lecture), 2 practice tests a week on top of every test plan's own checks and mock exam, and 20 chat messages a day. Studying everything you've made is free and unlimited. StudyLess Pro adds podcast episodes and far more making each month: 150 uploads, 100 practice tests, 1,500 chat messages, 40 podcast episodes and 30 hours of recording a month, within the fair-use limits in our Terms (lower during a free trial). Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: in the US, $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or $9.99 a month.
