One of the best ways to study is to test yourself. Instead of just reading an answer, you can ask the assistant to quiz you and see how much actually stuck.

## Ask to be quizzed

Just ask, in your own words. The assistant turns it into an interactive quiz instead of writing the questions out as plain text.

**On a topic**

"Quiz me on the light-dependent reactions."

**On a reading**

"Test me on chapter 3."

**After a chat**

"Now quiz me on what we just went over."

**Mixed practice**

"Give me a few practice questions from week 4."

## How a quiz works

1. **One question at a time**

    You get a multiple-choice question with a progress bar so you know how far
    along you are.

2. **Pick an answer**

    Click the option you think is right. Your choice locks in.

3. **See if you were right**

    It immediately shows whether you got it, marks the correct answer, and gives
    a short explanation of why.

4. **Get your score**

    At the end you see how many you got right, and you can retake the quiz to
    try again.

## It's built from your course material

When your instructor has added course materials, the questions are drawn from them, so you're practicing the actual content of your course rather than general trivia. If there aren't materials for a topic, the assistant will do its best from the conversation instead.

## It's for practice

Quizzes are a low-stakes way to check yourself, not a graded assignment. Retake them as many times as you want, and use the explanations to fill in the gaps.

After the assistant explains something, just say "quiz me on that." It's a quick way to find out whether it really landed.
