How to Retain Information
Rereading a highlighted PDF feels like studying and leaves almost nothing the next day. Retrieval practice (trying to pull the fact out before you look) plus spacing is what holds a lecture through the exam. Upload the notes or chapter you already have. StudyFetch turns that set into cards and questions so you retrieve, not reread.

How it works
Retrieve it. Space it. Quiz the gaps.
Stop rereading. Retrieve from your own lecture.
Open the PDF or notes from class. Close them, then try to say the term, the step, or the mechanism out loud. StudyFetch writes cards from that file so the prompt is the lecture you sat, not a generic deck.
Bring missed cards back, wait on the ones you know.
Spacing beats one long night. Missed cards return soon. Known cards wait. That is the schedule StudyFetch already runs on flashcards from your set.
Sit questions from the same file, then send misses to Sparky.
A quiz from the same notes shows what still will not come out. Sparky stays on that file. You do not start a new highlight pass.
Notes, cards, and quizzes from the lecture you already have
Structure the lecture before you drill it
Sparky writes notes from the PDF or chapter you uploaded, so the cards later ask about that lecture, not a random summary.

How to retain what you study
Close the notes and try to produce the term, the step, or the mechanism before you look. That retrieval is what holds a lecture. Then space the reviews: missed items come back soon, known items wait. Upload the lecture PDF or notes you already have. StudyFetch writes cards and questions from that file so you retrieve from your class, not a generic list.
A chapter is not retained by highlighting. Read a section, close it, write what it said, then check. Upload the chapter PDF. StudyFetch turns it into notes and then cards, so the next pass is retrieval on that chapter. This is for assigned reading, not for remembering novels.
Short sessions beat a three-hour reread. A small card deck from one lecture, a short recap, then Sparky on the part that still leaks. StudyFetch can run that loop on the file you uploaded. See also How to study with ADHD.
Rereading feels fluent because you recognize the page. Recognition is not recall. The exam asks you to produce the answer with the page closed. Retrieval practice and spacing train that. StudyFetch puts those prompts on the lecture you sat.
Yes. Sleep consolidates what you retrieved that day. StudyFetch does not replace sleep. Drill the cards from your lecture, then stop. A second highlight pass at 2 a.m. is worse than sleep plus a short retrieval the next day.
Yes. Create an account, upload a lecture PDF, and generate notes, cards, and a quiz from that file. Paid plans add more generations on the same set.
