How to study for finals and exams with Study Path

Study Path doesn't have an exam date picker or calendar scheduler yet, but you can still use it to build an exam study plan:

  1. Collect your course materials — lecture slides, reading lists, study guides or syllabus notes for the exam.
  2. Create one path for the exam — upload your materials as one PDF (up to 150 pages) or scan your notes. Study Path breaks them into short, manageable modules.
  3. Pace yourself — work through the modules ahead of exam day. Each module reinforces key terms and core concepts with kahoot questions.
  4. Practice under test conditions — when you've finished your path, use Test mode on individual kahoots in your Library.

Play through a study path

  • Step by step — modules and kahoots unlock in order. Complete each kahoot in solo Learn mode to move on.
  • No waiting — the next kahoot is generated in the background while you play the current one.
  • Internet required — kahoots are generated as you go, so you need an internet connection. If you lose connection, you'll see an offline notification until you're back online.

Track your progress

  • In-progress paths — find them in the Active section on the Home screen.
  • All your paths — go to Library › Study Paths. Tap a path to see its modules, completed activities and remaining kahoots.
  • One device only — in Early Access, progress is saved on the device you're using. You can't continue a path on another device yet.
