AI assistants can be powerful study tools when used to understand topics, not to copy answers.

Helpful ways to use AI

  • Explain concepts simply: "Explain photosynthesis like I'm 12."
  • Create practice questions: "Give me 10 quiz questions on World War II with answers at the end."
  • Make revision plans: "Make a 2-week revision plan for maths and biology."
  • Summarise notes: paste your own notes and ask for key points.
  • Check understanding: explain a topic in your own words and ask for feedback.
Test yourselfAsk the AI to quiz you one question at a time and wait for your answer.

Use it honestly

Verify facts

AI can be confidently wrong. Check important facts with textbooks, teachers and trusted sources.
