Practise from your notes.
Add your notes and answer questions on them from memory. Each idea comes back just before you’d forget it.
Question 3 of 8 · Biology
What does the inner membrane of a mitochondrion fold into, and why does that matter?
Cristae. The folds give the electron transport chain more surface area.
- Word and PDF
- PowerPoint
- Pasted text
- Web pages
How it works
One question at a time, until it sticks.
- Step 1
Add your notes
Paste text, or upload Word, PowerPoint or PDF files.
- Step 2
Answer from memory
Type what you remember. There are no options to guess from.
- Step 3
Come back when it’s due
How soon depends on how well you knew it.
Marking
Marked against what you wrote.
Each answer is checked against your notes, so feedback names what you left out. Partly right means you get credit for the part you knew.
Cristae. The folds give the electron transport chain more surface area.
More surface area means more ATP can be made at once.
Your path
Watch your notes light up.
Each set of notes becomes an island and each idea a crystal. Remember one and it lights up. Every short round is a step along your path, with stars for what you knew without help.
It does the one part of revising that works.
Testing yourself and spacing out reviews have the best evidence of any study method. StudyHone does only those, and asks each idea a new way every time.

Before you start
What is StudyHone?
A revision web app. It turns your notes into questions and marks your typed answers against them.
Do I have to plan my revision?
No. It decides what to ask and when. Answer what’s due, and Practice shows when more are ready.
Does StudyHone have flashcards?
No. Each idea is asked a different way each time, such as an example or a scenario.
What if I answer in my own words?
That’s fine. Answers are marked on the ideas they contain, and spelling slips don’t count.
Can the AI get questions wrong?
Sometimes. Each question must point to the part of your notes it came from, and a second check removes ones your notes don’t support. If a question or mark looks wrong, dispute it.
What notes can I use?
Text, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, Markdown or subtitle files, or a public web page. You can also type a topic and it finds pages for you. Pictures and equations are skipped, so type those out.
Does it help before an exam?
Yes. Add the exam and the notes it covers, and every idea you’ve learned from them comes back in the final week.
Are there levels or rewards?
Yes. Answering from memory earns XP, levels, a daily run and milestones. There are no leaderboards.
Who is StudyHone for?
Anyone 13 or over with something to remember, from school to work exams.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in any web browser, on a phone or a computer.
