Exercises
Nine ways to test what you know.
Reading and watching is passive. Exercises are where learning becomes permanent. Seminr generates nine different exercise types — from rapid flashcards to open-ended essays to real-world case studies — all tailored to your topic, your level, and your own uploaded materials.
The nine exercise types
Questions with four options and one correct answer. Good for testing recall and concept recognition at speed.
Open-ended written responses to prompts. Develop your ability to articulate and argue ideas — not just recall them.
Term–definition pairs for rapid recall. Ideal for vocabulary, formulas, dates, and concepts that need to be instant.
Sentences with key terms removed. Forces active recall in context — harder than recognition, easier than open recall.
Fast-fire statements to confirm or correct. Surfaces misconceptions quickly and exposes the things you think you know but don't.
A real or realistic scenario that requires you to apply concepts to an unfamiliar situation. Tests understanding, not memorisation.
An open-ended problem that requires you to reason through to a solution. No single right answer — builds analytical thinking.
Explain it like I'm five. You're asked to explain a complex concept in simple language — the hardest test of genuine understanding.
Visually connect ideas and show how concepts relate to each other. Builds the mental structure that makes knowledge stick.
How they work
Generated from your topic, your materials, and your level.
Every exercise is generated fresh for your specific topic and learning objective — not pulled from a question bank. If you've uploaded notes or articles, Seminr draws on those too. The questions reference your materials, use your terminology, and test the exact concepts you've been studying.
Inside your AI Workspace
Exercises are sequenced automatically into every daily session after the seminar — the AI decides which types to use based on the topic and your mastery history.
On demand
Generate exercises for any topic at any time — outside of a session, as standalone revision, or to test yourself before a seminar.
From your own materials
Upload notes, textbooks, or papers and exercises will be generated directly from your content — referencing your exact terminology and examples.
With mastery tracking
Every exercise result updates your mastery score for that topic. The AI uses this to decide whether to move forward or reteach.
With spaced repetition
Topics you've mastered resurface automatically at the right interval — based on how long it's been and how well you performed last time.
Who benefits
Active revision that actually works.
Passive re-reading is one of the least effective revision strategies — but it's what most students default to. Exercises force active recall: you have to produce the answer, not recognise it. That's the difference between feeling like you know something and actually knowing it under exam conditions.
Test yourself, not just read.
It's easy to feel like you're making progress when you're reading. Exercises break the illusion. They show you exactly what stuck and what didn't — so you can focus your time on the things that actually need work, rather than re-reading things you already understand.
