ChatGPT Quick Start Guide

Learn the basics. Ask better questions. Get better answers.
🧠

Using Study Mode

Study Mode turns ChatGPT into a guided tutor that asks questions, adapts to your level, and helps you practice with flashcards, quizzes, and step-by-step explanations—especially effective when you provide your own notes, slides, or readings.

🗺️

Guided Learning

Study Mode asks questions, checks understanding, and scaffolds explanations step-by-step.

📎

Works With Your Notes

Upload PDFs, slides, or copied excerpts; it turns them into flashcards, quizzes, and targeted practice.

🎯

Adaptive Practice

It varies difficulty, revisits hard items, and helps you focus where you’re struggling.

▶️ Get Started

  1. Open ChatGPT. In the prompt area, choose ToolsStudy and learn (Study Mode), or type your study goal (e.g., “Let’s study using step-by-step questions”).
  2. Upload notes/slides or paste excerpts. Label sections if possible (e.g., “Key terms,” “Formulas,” “Examples”).
  3. Tell it your goal (quiz prep, concept mastery, review sprint) and timeframe.

🧭 Typical Study Flows

Concept Mastery

Explain in simple terms → tutor asks checks → try an example → reflect on misconceptions.

Problem-Solving

Walk through a problem with hints first → reveal steps → practice with variations → summarize method.

Reading → Quiz

Paste excerpts → generate flashcards/MCQs → answer & review → tag weak areas.

Review Sprint

30–45 min cycles: quick recall → short quiz → error fix-ups → 5-minute spaced review.

📎Make the Most of Your Materials
  • Chunk your notes by topic; label sections clearly.
  • Highlight must-know formulas/definitions; request targeted practice on those.
  • Ask for a study sequence: “Teach → quiz → teach → quiz,” adjusting difficulty as you go.
