Welcome: LevelUp turns your own notes into a personal study system. Add notes from a photo, a PDF or pasted text, and get a summary, flashcards and a quiz built from them.
Library: The Library lists your own subjects and the Sample Library: ready-made subjects anyone can open, including Biology, US History and a beginner Spanish course.
New subject: Choose New subject, give it a name and select Create subject. Make one for each class or topic.
Add notes: Add notes by taking a photo, choosing photos (up to 10 pages), uploading a PDF (up to 30 pages with selectable text) or pasting text (up to 20,000 characters). On phones, photos are read on the device; on the web, a free account is needed for photos.
Review: Before anything is saved, check the text that was read and fix any mistakes. Everything LevelUp builds for a source comes only from this text. Select Save when it looks right.
Study pack: On a saved source, select Build study pack. LevelUp writes a short and a detailed summary, the key concepts, 10 to 30 flashcards and a quiz, using only your notes. The summary appears first, then the flashcards and quiz. You can build up to 5 study packs a day.
Citations: Each key concept, flashcard and quiz question shows the section of your notes it came from. Select it to read that part of your notes. The quiz mixes multiple-choice and short-answer questions, each with an explanation.
Short answers: Write short answers in your own words. LevelUp checks them against the answer key and your notes, marks them correct, partly correct or not quite, and says in one sentence what was right or missing. You can have up to 100 answers checked a day (20 as a guest). If an answer can't be checked, compare it with the model answer and mark it yourself.
Tutor: The tutor answers using only your notes, at the level you choose: Simple, Standard or Detailed. It may end with a quick question to check you understood. You can ask up to 50 questions a day (10 as a guest).
Reviewing: In a review, read the front of the card and try to recall the answer, then select Show answer. Rate how well you knew it: Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Each button shows when you would see the card next. LevelUp uses the FSRS algorithm, so well-known cards come back less often and forgotten ones come back soon. Keyboard: Space to reveal, 1 to 4 to rate.
Account: Guests can keep their subjects by adding an email on the Profile page and confirming that they are 16 or older. LevelUp sends a confirmation link; after confirming, the guest's subjects stay with the new account.
Recap: In short: start as a guest, create a subject for each class, add notes from photos, PDFs or pasted text, check the text, build a study pack, take its quiz and turn mistakes into flashcards, ask the tutor to explain anything, review your flashcards when they are due, and save your progress with a free account.
