How we read web articles
Paste a link and we fetch the page, strip navigation and ads, and keep the article text, so a Wikipedia entry or an assigned reading becomes a study set in one step.
Get the best results
- Link the specific article, not a site's home page.
- Combine several readings on one topic into one set for synthesis questions.
What your quizzes include
- Multiple choice, true or false and short-answer questions written from your material
- An explanation for every answer, plus the passage it came from
- Distractors that are plausible, not obviously wrong
- Correct answers spread across A to D, so you cannot game the pattern
How you study them
Answer one question at a time with instant feedback. Wrong answers come back later in the session, and the ones you keep missing move into your review queue.
Best for: checking you understood a chapter, quick revision before class, finding weak spots early.
Things that trip people up with web articles
- Paywalled and login-only pages cannot be fetched. Copy the text and paste it instead.
- Pages that load their text with heavy scripts may come back short; pasting works there too.
