Notes Prep Studio

Your teacher's notes, the chapter, and your own mistakes — merged into one notebook you can revise from.

Who this is for
Any student who takes notes in class and revises from a textbook, and has never had the two in the same place. Open it at /dashboard/student/notes.

Overview

You hold three things that never meet: the chapter (complete, but long), what your teacher actually said (messy, partial, and the part that gets examined), and the questions you have personally got wrong. Every “AI notes” tool summarises the first one. This merges all three, marks which is which, and then tells you what your class skipped.

Starting a notebook

Press Build new notes and you answer three things — nothing you already told us at sign-up is asked again:

  1. What these notes are for. Your class and the exams you picked during onboarding appear as tags — CBSE Class 8, JEE Main, JEE Advanced. Pick one.
  2. The subject for that track. A board tag gives you your school subjects; an exam tag gives you that exam's papers.
  3. The chapter.

Then choose a format, add your own material if you have it, and build.

The six formats

Each format does a different job. The picker states the job and when to reach for it, because “six ways to format your notes” is not a choice anyone can make.

FormatWhat it is for
Detailed study notesLearn the chapter properly, the first time. For when you have just been taught it, or missed the class.
Cornell notesNotes you revise from, by testing yourself rather than re-reading. Each block gets a cue you can cover the note and answer from. The one to build if you only build one.
Revision one-pagerThe last hour before the exam. Only what is actually examined, on one page.
Formula sheetNever lose a mark to a half-remembered formula. Every expression, what each symbol means, and the condition it applies under.
Q&A — board answersPractise writing the answer at the length the marks deserve, in the wording an examiner ticks.
Mind mapSee how the chapter fits together. For a first pass at a sprawling chapter.

Switching format never destroys content — the notebook is stored as one superset and each format decides what to show and in what order.

Adding your own material

This is the step that makes the notes yours rather than a chapter summary.

  • Photograph your notebook. Snap pages with your phone camera, upload files, or send them from your phone by scanning a QR code. Multiple pages queue up and are read together.
  • Paste text if you already type your notes.
  • Pull in your mistakes. Questions you have previously got wrong on this chapter are folded in, so your notebook warns you about your own errors rather than generic ones.

Transcription preserves structure — headings, numbered steps, boxed formulas, and the “sir said” asides in the margin. Anything your teacher added that the chapter does not contain is kept and marked, never normalised away. That material is the most valuable thing in your notebook.

Every block says where it came from

A chip in the margin of every block tells you its source:

ChipMeaning
ChapterFrom the platform chapter for your board and class.
Class notesFrom the notes you scanned or pasted — your teacher's words.
TextbookFrom a textbook page you photographed.
Your mistakesFrom questions you have got wrong before.
AddedThe AI filled a gap your other sources left.
Why this matters
You should never have to wonder whether the AI invented something or your teacher said it. It also makes the gap check visible at a glance — a page that is all Chapterand no Class notes means you did not take notes that day.

The syllabus gap check

Your scanned notes are compared against the chapter's learning outcomes, key formulas, revision points and exercises, and the result is stated plainly: covered, missing, and your teacher added. Each missing item is one tap to insert as a block.

It says so when it cannot check
Some chapters have no structured outcome list behind them. Rather than show a falsely-empty gap report, the notebook tells you coverage could not be checked for that chapter.

Recall mode

Turn Recall on and the notebook hides the answers, leaving only the cue. What gets hidden depends on the block:

  • A formula shows only its name — SI unit of pressure — and you produce the expression, what its symbols mean and when it applies.
  • A definition shows the term; a question shows the question.
  • A Cornell block shows its cue and hides the whole note, which is the technique that format is named for.

You can say the answer out loud, type it, or reveal it. Speech is transcribed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

What you said is then marked against your own board's marking scheme. The answer is broken into key points and each is judged as recalled, partly recalled or missed — so a correct answer in your own words scores full, which is what CBSE's own instructions to evaluators require. Saying “pressure is force per unit area”scores as knowing it, not as missing thirty words of the textbook's phrasing.

A small glowing bar shows how much you had and how much you missed, and marks where your previous attempt at that same card landed, so a retry reads as movement rather than a fresh number.

Your bookshelf

Every subject you build notes for becomes a book on a shelf. Open one and it turns like a book: a contents page, then a section per format, then an index at the back listing every paper by chapter.

The running order is a book's order, not the order you happened to build things — chapter notes first, then the mind map and board answers, then the formula sheet and one-pager as reference matter at the back, and anything built from your own wrong answers last. Build the formula sheet before the chapter notes and the chapter notes still come first when you open it.

PDF, print and sharing

  • PDF — a real document with your figures drawn in, not a screenshot of a web page.
  • Full screen — the notebook fills the display for revision, with the dashboard chrome gone.
  • Print and copy as text for WhatsApp.
  • Share — mint an unguessable read-only link. A classmate who opens it can fork it into their own studio, and your authorship is recorded. Nothing is publicly discoverable or indexed, and you can revoke a link at any time.

Common questions

Do I need to scan anything?
No. Without your own material you get a well-built set of notes from the chapter. With it, you get your notebook — and the gap check only works if you add class notes.

Can I build notes for a competitive exam?
Yes. The exams you picked at onboarding appear as tags alongside your class, and the subjects and chapters come from that exam's own syllabus.

Can I edit what it wrote?
Every block is editable in place, reorderable and deletable, and each has a one-line refine that regenerates only that block.
