I used to study by rereading notes, and then I blanked in the exam hall.
Did some research, and found that my experience isn’t isolated, and that passive review doesn’t force retrieval, so nothing sticks, and I knew I had to do something about it.
That’s why I built Professor Goose. You pick a topic, explain it out loud to a goose, and he keeps probing until he understands you. Never gives you the answer, just keeps asking follow ups until a sound understanding is reached, which in turn makes you figure stuff out or realise you never understood your topic in the first place.
Free to try, no account needed, upload your syllabus for exam board specific questions. Curious whether this approach resonates with others, it sure has for me.

Does nothing on Firefox Android. You can't even see the error because of overlapping elements.

This sounds awesome ... is there a way to enter text rather than talking? I'm guessing yes, but I can't see where

So innovative! I've talked to your goose and I found this is really a great way to test whether I truly understand concept. I don't know how the goose thinks, maybe it would be even better if it allowed me to upload my own data and ask questions based on that context.
