The exam-ready study guide, generated from your own source
A study guide should pull a whole topic into one organized, reviewable place. Here's how Lumo builds one from your source — and how to use it in the final days before an exam.
In the last few days before an exam, you don't have time to wade back through every lecture and reading. You need everything that matters, organized, in one place. That's what a study guide is for — and building one by hand is exactly the chore that eats the time you don't have.
What makes a study guide useful
A good study guide isn't a summary you read once. It's a reviewable document: key concepts, definitions, and the connections between them, laid out so you can quiz yourself section by section. The structure is the value — it tells you what you're responsible for and lets you check yourself against it.
Generated from what you actually studied
Lumo assembles a study guide from your own source — the lecture, PDF, or paper you uploaded — so it matches your syllabus instead of a generic outline. It's part of the same pass that produces your notes, flashcards, quiz, and mind map, all graded for faithfulness to the source before you see them.
A final-days routine
- Read the guide once to see the full scope of the topic.
- Cover and recall each section out loud before moving on.
- Drill weak spots with the flashcards, then re-quiz to confirm.
The guide tells you what to know; active recall makes sure you actually do. Walking into the exam, you want the calm that comes from having tested yourself — not the false comfort of having re-read.
