How it works
1. Upload what you have for the course: a PDF chapter, your lecture slides, typed notes, or photos of the pages you wrote by hand.
2. Penseum turns it into a study guide, and every study guide comes with practice quizzes from the same material.
3. Take the quiz. The questions are exam-style, and you get instant feedback as you answer.
4. Launch a full personalized exam weighted toward the topics you keep missing, or sit a timed mock exam.
5. Your exam results feed back into the AI tutor, so your next session targets what you got wrong.
What you can upload
Penseum takes PDFs, PowerPoint and Google Slides, Word documents, typed or pasted notes, photos of handwritten notes, and YouTube or recorded lecture links.
A long reading is fine. You can upload a textbook chapter or a 300-page course reader, and the AI pulls the key concepts into a study guide with flashcards and practice questions.
Handwritten notes work too. Take photos of them and the AI converts them into typed, organized notes before you quiz yourself on them. If you upload in another language, Penseum supports over 20 and makes your material in the same language you uploaded.
The questions you get
The questions are exam-style and come in multiple formats. In the iPhone app, practice exams mix multiple-choice and written questions from your notes. Written questions test you in a different way from multiple choice.
You can also sit a timed mock exam. That is the one to take the week before the test, when you want to know how you do with a clock running.
Features
Quizzes that follow what you get wrong
Penseum tracks what you have mastered and what still needs work. When you launch a personalized exam, it is weighted toward the topics you keep missing. Say you keep getting the Krebs cycle wrong in a bio unit. The next exam is weighted toward that topic. Your exam results also go to the AI tutor, so your next study session targets what you got wrong.

I'm using Penseum for the first time and I just have to say I'm genuinely so impressed by it, from the study guide to the questions to the flashcards.
Stephan H.
Bruh, where was Penseum when I was pulling all-nighters last semester? 🚀 It's like having a study buddy who's always on, always ready.

One upload, more than a quiz
The quizzes come with the study guide, so the same upload gives you a guide to read, flashcards to drill and questions to test yourself. See the study guide maker for what the guide holds. If your school calls a study guide a reviewer, start at the reviewer maker.
Where it falls short
A quiz tests only what you uploaded. If your notes skip a topic, the questions will skip it too, and thin notes give thin questions. Upload the full slides or the chapter, not just the parts you already understand.
