Grammar assistance

Many midterms include a written portion to test your ability to put the information you’ve learned into your own words. Use AI for help mastering tough grammatical concepts while you’re studying: for example, ask AI to generate practice prompts for the upcoming written portions of your exam.

While you’re writing your practice essay, use AI as a writing assistant to get real-time feedback on your grammar and sentence structure. Expand your vocabulary and help ensure that you’ll find the right word in any context with these AI tools. Lastly, ask AI to read your practice essay and provide feedback so you know which areas might need improvement.

Simplified material

If you didn’t understand a tough concept during a lecture or were out sick during an important class session, ask AI to explain what you don’t comprehend. Get tough concepts repeated in simple terms, making it easier for you to grasp the meaning of the material. Simply ask an AI database to find research materials or peer-reviewed papers on your chosen subject to find supplementary information to expand your knowledge of a topic.

Focus sessions and breaks

Many focus and productivity apps create personalized suggestions for optimizing your study sessions using AI. Try apps featuring proven techniques like Pomodoro, timers, and rewards for help focusing and building in study breaks. If you’re looking for ways to de-stress after a long study session, ask AI to provide recommendations for mindful activities, like walking, yoga, or meditation.

With AI-powered tools at the ready, midterms don’t have to be as challenging. Master content with personalized midterm study guides and other AI help to approach your upcoming exams with confidence.
