Common Questions
What is Active Recall?
Active recall is the practice of retrieving information from your brain instead of just reading it. By forcing your brain to "search" for the answer, you strengthen the neural pathways associated with that memory.
Why is active recall better than highlighting?
Highlighting or re-reading gives you a "fluency illusion"—you think you know it because it looks familiar. Active recall reveals what you actually know versus what you just recognize.
How does Masterly help with active recall?
Masterly uses AI to turn your passive notes into active questions. It creates the "test" for you, so you can spend your time practicing instead of preparing.
Is it harder than normal studying?
Yes, it requires more mental effort. However, this "desirable difficulty" is exactly why it works so well. You learn in 1 hour what usually takes 3 hours of re-reading.
Can I use it for essay-based subjects?
Definitely. For subjects like history or literature, Masterly generates open-ended conceptual questions that require deeper thinking.
What are some active recall examples?
Flashcards, practice tests, and the Feynman technique (teaching it to someone else) are all forms of active recall.
How does the AI generate flashcards and quizzes?
Our advanced AI analyzes your study materials (PDFs, notes, or lectures), identifies key concepts, definitions, and high-yield facts, and transforms them into interactive study cards and practice questions optimized for your exams.
Which devices can I use Masterly on?
Masterly is available on Web, iOS, and Android. Your study sets and progress sync instantly across all your devices so you can study anywhere, anytime.
Is my data secure and private?
Absolutely. We take privacy seriously and use enterprise-grade encryption to protect your study materials. Your uploaded content is never shared with third parties.
Is after-class review considered active recall?
Yes, if you try to summarize the lecture without looking at your notes, that is highly effective active recall.
