Why testing yourself works better
Re-reading your notes feels productive, but research shows it's one of the least effective study methods. You recognize the material and think you know it—but recognition isn't recall.
Active recall—testing yourself—forces your brain to retrieve information. This strengthens memory pathways far more than passive review.
Spaced repetition optimizes when you review. Instead of cramming, you revisit material at increasing intervals, right before you'd forget it.
Cruxly combines both: instant quiz generation (active recall) with built-in spaced repetition scheduling. The science, without the hassle.
FAQ
What exams does this work for?
Any exam where you have study materials to photograph—textbooks, notes, slides, review books. The AI generates questions from whatever content you give it.
Is it better than just re-reading?
Yes. Active recall (testing yourself) is 2-3x more effective than passive re-reading. This is well-established cognitive science.
How is this different from practice tests?
Practice tests are pre-made. Cruxly generates questions from YOUR specific materials—your notes, your textbook chapters, your professor's slides.
Can I use it the night before an exam?
Yes, but ideally start earlier. Spaced repetition works best over days/weeks. That said, even last-minute quizzing beats last-minute re-reading.
