How it works
How to turn a web article into study guides
- 01
Add a web article
Upload or paste a web article. Accepted: Any public article URL.
- 02
Choose your level
Pick high school, undergraduate, graduate or professional so questions are pitched right.

Study your study guides

How you study them
Read the guide to get the shape of the topic, then jump into practice from any section. The guide and the questions come from the same analysis, so they cover the same ground.
Best for: starting a new unit, condensing a long reading, the night before an exam.
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.
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.
Questions about article to study guide
Most public articles: Wikipedia, news sites, blogs, open textbooks and course pages. Paywalled pages need copy and paste.
We store the extracted text with your study set so you can check answers against it later. It stays private unless you publish the set.
Choose a quick review sheet, a comprehensive guide or an exam-prep guide. Length follows your material: a ten-page chapter gets a page or two, not padding.
