Guide
Saved notes, syllabus guides, and practice questions from your notes
Where notes live, what a saved note keeps, and how to turn any note into a set of practice questions with the answers hidden until you've tried.
Notes come in two kinds. Syllabus guides are written for a part of the syllabus, reviewed before you see them, and open from the Guide pill on a subject's Topics tab. Saved notes are yours: a tutor answer you kept, a pack note you saved, a practice set, or something you wrote. Each subject's Notes tab shows that subject's saved notes with a search box; the Notes link on Today shows all of them, grouped by subject.
Turning notes into questions
- Press “Turn into questions” on any saved note, or “Turn my notes into questions” at the top of My notes. You land on Practice questions from your notes with that note already in the box.
- Or paste notes in, pick a different saved note from the menu, or photograph a handwritten page — the scan is transcribed and you check the text before anything is sent.
- Choose how many questions (3 to 10) and a style: quick recall for short factual checks, exam-style for questions shaped the way a paper asks them.
- Press Make my questions. Each question shows its command term and marks; the model answer stays hidden until you press Show answer, so answer it in your head or on paper first.
- Keep the set with “Save this set to my Notes”, and generate more from the same notes whenever you like.
What the AI sees, and what it runs on
Only the notes you put in the box are sent — nothing else from your account. This feature runs on an OpenAI model through our AI gateway, with the gateway told not to store the request; every other AI feature runs on Gemini. Nothing is used to train models. Don't paste personal details or other people's work.
Watch out for
- Questions come from your notes only. If your notes are wrong, the questions and answers will be too — check anything that looks off against your syllabus.
- Fewer questions than you asked for means the notes were thin; add detail rather than pressing again.
- These questions are for you. They do not feed your readiness score or your review schedule — the daily loop, past papers and pack quizzes do that.
