Biology → study guide
Biology is a subject of processes and vocabulary at the same time. You have to know what osmosis means, but you also have to explain what happens to a cell placed in a hypertonic solution, follow the steps of cellular respiration in order, and read a graph from an experiment you've never seen. A study guide that only lists bold terms won't get you there.
Also generate a fill-in-the-blank worksheet + answer key (separate page in Word/PDF). No extra AI call.

Upload your teacher's slides, a text-based PDF of the textbook chapter, a Word handout, or paste your class notes. Study Guide Maker builds an outline of the unit, explains the key processes in plain language, writes a glossary of the terms you need to use precisely, and adds practice questions and flashcards — with every item tagged to the page or slide it came from, so you can check it against your source in seconds.
Choose High school, AP/IB or College to match the depth of your course. Use it after each unit — cells, genetics, evolution, ecology — so you have a short guide ready for every test instead of one huge document the night before the final. Then add a few questions of your own about the diagrams and lab data your teacher used in class, since the guide is built from the text in your files.
Topics in the order your class covered them, each with 2–4 sub-points and a page or slide reference.
For each process (e.g., transcription, cell division, photosynthesis): where it happens, inputs and outputs, steps in order, and what happens if a step is disrupted.
Precise definitions, with easily confused pairs side by side (diffusion vs. osmosis, genotype vs. phenotype, mitosis vs. meiosis).
Organelles, molecules or organs paired with their function — a quick review grid.
Questions on variables, controls and conclusions from labs or experiments in your notes; add your own for graphs and figures.
Multiple choice and short answer with one-sentence explanations, answers on a separate page.
One fact per card for vocabulary and structures; export as CSV.
Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, Word or text file — or paste your notes.
Study Guide Maker builds an outline, key concepts, glossary, practice questions, and flashcards, and tags every point with the page it came from.
Quiz yourself right on the page, flip through flashcards, or export to PDF, Word and CSV.
A sample guide built from a short biology handout. Page tags show where each point came from.
Biology
Cellular respiration is how cells turn the chemical energy in glucose into ATP. It happens in three stages — glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain — and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.
Sample output for illustration.
Yes, if the chapter is a text-based PDF (you can highlight the words). Upload one chapter at a time for a focused guide. Scanned PDFs aren't supported yet — use the digital file or paste the text.
No. The guide is built from the text in your file, including slide text and speaker notes. Diagrams and images without text labels aren't read, so add a sentence describing any key figure to your notes if you want it covered.
Choose the AP/IB level and upload your class materials unit by unit. For exam structure and unit weightings, see our AP Biology study guide page, and practice with released free-response questions from the College Board.
The guide is instructed to use only the material you provide, and each item cites the page or slide it came from. AI can still make mistakes, so check anything important against the cited page.
