Why keep a question notebook?

1 Mistakes are the most valuable thing you study. A question you got wrong shows exactly which idea is missing.

2 Reviewing your own mistakes before an exam is far more efficient than re-reading the whole book.

3 A paper notebook gets lost, gets messy and cannot be filtered. A digital one is always with you.

How it works

  1. 1

    Snap it

    Photograph the question from your book, a test paper or a worksheet.

  2. 2

    Crop it

    Keep only the question. The photo is resized so it uploads quickly.

  3. 3

    Describe it

    Add the options, your answer, the correct answer and a short note on what tripped you up.

  4. 4

    File it

    Subject, grade and source are filled in so you can filter later.

  5. 5

    Review it

    Mark it “Couldn’t solve”, “Will review” or “Solved” and come back before the exam.

More than a photo album

Barcode scan

Scan the barcode of another book to tag where a question comes from.

Ask for help

Send a notebook question to a friend or teacher and discuss it.

Private by default

Your notebook photos are stored privately and are only shown to you and the people you share them with.
