Studying and reviewing
Flashcards, assessments, progress tracking and the AI assistant.
Study with flashcards
Memorize the concepts of a Set with spaced repetition.
Flashcards are the fastest way to fix a concept in your memory. Algor uses spaced repetition: cards you find hard come back often, cards you know well come back less and less, so you spend your time on what you actually still need to practice.
Flashcards are not a tool you add to a page. They are a dedicated space that opens on top of the Set: you start the review from the Set, choose what it should cover, and study card after card until the session ends.
Start a review
- 1Start a flashcard review from the Set.
- 2Choose what to study: the whole set, a section picked from the list, or a single page.
- 3Click Start review. Algor shows only the cards that are due today, plus the ones you have never studied.
Answer and rate the cards
Read the question, then press space or click the card to flip it and see the answer. Rate honestly how well you knew it: your rating decides when the card comes back.
| Button | What happens |
|---|---|
| Impossible | The card comes back soon. |
| Hard | The card stays at the same level. |
| Easy | The card moves forward and comes back later. |
| Very easy | The card moves forward a lot, so it stays out of your way for longer. |
A card you keep rating well eventually reaches the last level and is considered learned: it stops appearing unless you rate it badly again later. Flashcards are always written in the language of the Set.
End of the session
- Perfect! You completed the review. You see how many flashcards you reviewed today and how you rated them.
- All caught up! Nothing is due today for that scope. You see when your next review is, and you can Start over to reset the progress and study everything from the beginning.
If you need to leave in the middle of a session, choose Save and exit to keep what you rated so far, Exit without saving, or Continue review.
Take an assessment
A customizable quiz generated from your Set that measures how prepared you are.
While flashcards help you memorize, an assessment tells you how prepared you really are. It generates a quiz from your Set, and its results feed directly into your progress dashboard, so it is the best way to check where you stand before an exam.
Choose the scope and customize the assessment
First choose how you want to take the assessment: the whole set, a section or a single page. Then decide how you want to be tested. Every setting is optional, and Algor picks sensible defaults for you.
| Setting | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Question types | Multiple choice, True or false, Completion, Matching, Open answer | Multiple choice, Completion, Matching |
| Number of questions | From 10 to 100 | 10 for a page, 15 for a section, 20 for the whole set |
| Instant feedback | On: see the correct answer after each question, useful for training. Off: see everything only at the end, closer to a real exam | On |
| Timer | Off, or a time limit from 5 to 300 minutes | Off (10 minutes when you turn it on) |
Answer the questions
Questions are written in the language of the Set. A counter shows your progress, for example 3 of 20. Open answers are evaluated by the AI, which also recognizes answers that are only partially correct: you do not need to match the wording exactly.
Results
At the end, the Results screen shows how many answers were correct and the time you took, an Assessment analysis written by the AI, and the Quiz summary with a breakdown by page and a review of your open answers. From here you can Retry or go Back to Set.
Track your progress
Set a goal and see, page by page, how prepared you are on a Set.
Every Set has a personal progress dashboard that turns your flashcard reviews and assessments into a clear picture of how ready you are, page by page. It helps you decide what to study next and, if you set a goal, whether you are on track to reach it in time. Open it with See progress in the Set sidebar.
Set a personal goal
- 1Click Set goal.
- 2Choose the target grade: 6, 7, 8 or 9 out of 10.
- 3Choose the target date, for example the day of your exam.
The dashboard then draws two lines: your actual preparation and the ideal path to reach your goal on time, with a badge showing whether you are Ahead, On track or Behind. You can Edit goal or Remove goal whenever you like.
Key indicators and AI analysis
- Preparation: the share of topics you have passed.
- Average grade: the average of your correct answers, out of 10.
- Review: how many topics need reviewing.
The AI Analysis section comments on your results in plain words and suggests concrete Next steps: what to study, what to test and what to review.
Set topics and history
Set topics shows the index of the Set with a colour for each page: green for passed, yellow when knowledge is fading, red when below the threshold, grey when not tested yet. This way you can spot at a glance where to focus. Assessment history lists all your past assessments with their outcome.
How the score works
Understanding the logic behind the score helps you trust it. Harder questions count more than easy ones, so an analytical open answer weighs more than a true/false. Improvement is quick but drops are gradual, so a single bad result never wipes out your progress.
Ask the AI assistant
Chat with an assistant that knows the content of your Set and cites its sources.
Sometimes you just need a quick answer or a concept explained differently, without leaving the page you are studying. Each Set has an AI assistant that knows its content and can help you on the spot. Open it from the side panel while studying a page.
You can ask anything, or start from a suggestion: Ask me about this page, Explain a concept better, Help me plan my study. The assistant answers using your Set, the files you uploaded and, if needed, the web.
Answers include citations: click one to see the source, and use Open card to jump straight to the page it comes from. This is a good way to double-check what the assistant tells you. You can also attach new files to the chat.
The assistant replies in the language you write in. Web searches look for sources in the country that matches your interface language: Italy for Italian, Spain for Spanish, the United States for English.
