Turning a PDF chapter into flashcards is a workflow, not a button. This post outlines chunking, generation, and review — see the full guide for detail.
Chunk your PDF
Upload one section via the PDF summarizer. Monolithic textbooks produce diluted cards spanning too many topics.
Generate with The Student
Run The Student mode for concept, quiz, and misconception Learn cards. Delete trivial cards after generation.
Spaced review
Review misses on day 1 and day 3 before adding new chapters. Generation without retrieval practice is procrastination dressed as productivity.
Frequently asked questions
Are Learn cards the same as flashcards?
Similar goal — active recall — but Learn cards are source-backed and typed (concept, fact, quiz) from your analysis, then tied to a post-learn quiz.
How many PDF pages should I upload per session?
One chapter or section keeps cards focused and improves quiz quality on the free tier.
