Start where you already know the answer. Quietly solved question 4 and marked it with a blue dot. Now hide it — press Shift + Z.

The dots are off. Nothing on this page can give an answer away now — Quietly is still working, it's just staying quiet.

Scroll to a question you haven't touched. No dot, no hint, no nudge. Just the problem, the way it'll look on the exam.

Now do the work. Run it on scratch paper or in your head. This is the part that actually moves the material into your memory.

Commit to an answer. Pick the one you believe is right before you look at anything else — guessing and knowing should feel different.

Ready to check yourself? Press Shift + Z to bring the dots back.

Quietly reads the question and solves it. The dot lands next to its answer — same tab, no copy and paste, no switching windows.

You matched. And if you hadn't, you'd know it right now — while it's still a study session and not a grade.

Didn't match? Don't just take the dot's word for it. Highlight the question, hit Ask, and Quietly talks you through the reasoning like a tutor sitting next to you — still without leaving the page.

  1. Hide the dots
  2. Solve it yourself
  3. Check with Shift + Z
  4. Confirm and correct

Favorite ways students use Quietly

Here are some other ways to get the most out of Quietly.

Ask Quietly

Get unstuck on a PDF or reading

Highlight the paragraph or problem that's losing you and choose Explain this. The explanation opens in a sidebar next to the text, so you never lose your place in a 40-page PDF.

Same menu, same page: have Quietly summarize a dense section instead, or ask it to explain the whole thing simply.

Highlight Ask Explain this

Ask Quietly

Turn a whole module into a study sheet

Select an entire reading and pick Make study notes. You get a condensed sheet of what's actually worth remembering — build one per module and you have your exam review already written.

Highlight Ask Make study notes

Study mode

Quiz yourself on what you just solved

After a problem set, reopen the ones that gave you trouble and hit Similar problem. Quietly generates the same question type with new numbers, so you rehearse the method instead of memorizing one answer.

Study mode Similar problem

Study mode

Reveal one step at a time

When you're stuck mid-problem, use step-by-step mode and stop the second you spot where you went wrong. Most of the time step one is all you need — resist jumping to Reveal answer.
