You get one hour at night. The tutor knows where to start.

From the week's Anatomy or Biochemistry topic to the summary, the session moves through five phases, and each one asks something of you.

Highlights

Studying does not move your grade.

The separation is on purpose, and the screen shows it.

Study and mastery are different thingsFinishing a session does not raise your mastery. Only an assessment does.
The bridge is one buttonWhen you finish, assessing the topic opens an assessment session.
Resuming is normalA closed session reopens for reading and takes you straight to the topic's assessment.

Before and after

Reading the material, or studying with the tutor.

Two ways to spend the same hour.

Just reading the material

You decide alone when you understoodWithout a question, understanding and thinking you understood get mixed up.
The doubt waitsIt shows up on the exam, not while you study.
Nobody asks what you readFinishing the chapter is the only sign that you finished.

A session with the AI Tutor

When to use it

When to open the tutor.

  • 1In the week of a new topic. Biochemistry or physiology: a session introduces the topic and its vocabulary.
  • 2After a confusing class. Ask for more explanation of the mechanism until the quiz makes sense.
  • 3Before assessing a topic. Study first. Assessing is the next step.

Questions about the AI Tutor

Does it replace the book and the class?

No. It guides one topic at a time, with phases and a quiz. Class and the book remain the foundation.

What changes if I study without assessing?

Your mastery does not change. Studying prepares you, and only an assessment moves mastery.

Do I have to finish the session in one go?

No. Opening the same topic again picks the session up where it stopped.

Can the AI be wrong?

Yes. Every screen with generated text carries a notice, and it is worth confirming in a trusted source before taking it into practice.

The next exam will not wait for you to find where to start.
