Frequently asked questions

StudyPolar's AI reads the study material you upload and writes exam-style questions from it. Upload a PDF, Word document, PowerPoint, photo of your notes, audio or video, pick a question type (multiple choice, true or false or free response), a difficulty and a language, and it builds the practice exam in seconds. The questions come from your own material, not a generic question bank, and they approach each idea from more than one angle so you are tested on understanding rather than recognition. You answer in the app, every response is graded instantly, and the ones you miss are queued for spaced-repetition review.

A wrong answer comes back until you can get it right three times. First, StudyPolar tells you straight away that you missed it, and you can open the explain-my-mistake tutor, an AI chat that explains why the answer was wrong using your own notes (three chats an hour on the free plan, 20 every ten minutes on Polar Pro). Then the question re-enters your daily review. Every question moves through four stages, from new to mastered, and a miss sends it back a step, so the material you struggle with is exactly the material you see most often. Escape is not an option.

Flashcards quiz you on what you already wrote down; StudyPolar writes the questions for you. Upload your notes, slides or a recording and its AI produces multiple-choice, true-or-false and free-response questions you did not see coming, hitting the same idea from different angles instead of the one phrasing you put on a card. It grades your answers, explains each mistake with a tutor that references your own material, and schedules the questions you miss for spaced-repetition review until you answer them correctly three times. You never spend an evening making cards, and you cannot quietly skip the topics you find hardest.

You can upload PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, photos of your notes, audio recordings, video and plain text. That covers lecture slides, textbook chapters, study guides, research papers, a phone photo of handwritten notes or a recorded lecture. StudyPolar reads the content and writes practice questions from it. On the free Little penguin plan each document can be up to 10 pages; Polar Pro allows longer documents. If it opens as a document or plays as a recording, it works.

No, but a few minutes most days beats one heroic all-nighter, and StudyPolar is built around that. Each day it serves the questions that are due for review, so a session can be as short as the bus ride to class. Your streak keeps score of the days you show up, milestones celebrate runs of correct answers mid-exam, and the friends leaderboard keeps you honest. Miss a day and nothing is lost: the questions simply wait in your review queue until you are back.

Penguins get through brutal winters the same way students get through finals: one small step every day, together. Also, look at him.

StudyPolar is a freemium AI study app that turns your own notes into practice exams. Upload a PDF, Word document, slide deck, photo of your notes, audio or video, choose a question type, difficulty and language, and its AI writes exam-style questions from that material. You take the exam in the app, get graded instantly, ask an explain-my-mistake tutor about anything you got wrong, and review missed questions on a spaced-repetition schedule until you answer each one correctly three times. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, with a free Little penguin plan and a paid Polar Pro plan.

Upload your first PDF, Word doc, slide deck or photo of your notes, pick your question type, difficulty and language, and StudyPolar builds a practice exam from it in seconds. There is no complicated setup and no lengthy onboarding to sit through. You answer, it grades you, and the questions you miss come back until you have them down.

Yes. The free Little penguin plan lets you generate practice quizzes four times a month, with up to five questions each time, at no cost. When exam season arrives and you want unlimited practice, Polar Pro unlocks unlimited quiz generation, longer documents and far more questions per quiz.

The Little penguin plan is free for as long as you like. Polar Pro is a paid subscription, billed monthly or yearly, that unlocks far more quiz generation, longer documents, more questions per quiz and more AI chats. The current prices, in your currency, are always on the pricing page rather than repeated here, so what you see there is what you pay.

If your material opens as a document, it works. Students use StudyPolar for everything from biology and law to history and languages, because the questions are written from your own content rather than a fixed question bank.

Your files are used only to generate your questions. Uploaded study material is stored privately in your account, is sent to the AI model solely to write questions, summaries and explanations for you, and is not used to train that model. It stays until you delete it or delete your account, and you can do both yourself from within the app. Material uploaded in a guest session without an account is deleted automatically after about seven days. The full details are in the privacy policy.

Yes, all three. StudyPolar is available as an iOS app on the App Store, an Android app on Google Play and as a web app at app.studypolar.com, and one account works everywhere. Your material, questions and review progress are tied to that account, so you can upload a lecture on your laptop and review the questions on your phone on the bus.

A general chatbot hands you the answer; StudyPolar makes you produce it. It writes questions from your own material, grades you, explains what you got wrong using your notes, and brings each question back on a spaced schedule until it sticks. Flashcards quiz you on what you already wrote down. StudyPolar asks the questions you did not see coming, and hits each idea from a few different angles.
