How these study packs are made

From open textbooks

Each pack is built from a free, openly licensed textbook. The text is split into passages so every answer in the tutor chat cites its source. Some courses use a college-level open textbook that covers the same topics; follow your teacher's syllabus for what your class needs.

Flashcards and quizzes

Key terms, definitions and worked examples become flashcards and quiz questions. No AI model writes them, so nothing is invented.

Honest about quality

The study aids are generated automatically and marked Draft until a teacher reviews them. Check anything important against your own textbook and teacher.

Free, always

StudyGrasp is free. Pick High school or Middle school when you sign up, or change it any time under Account. Add your own notes under My content.
