Get StartedHow Rewise Chat Works (with examples!)
You can figure out your favourite way to learn with Rewise Chat by starting a chat and asking questions. However, if you're not sure how to start, here are our recommended ways to use it.
When you sign in and select papers via the menus, you can select a topic to view as shown. You can use the buttons shown to navigate through the papers, switch to Ordinary or Higher level, and if you go to a gaeilscoil, you can switch to the Irish version of the paper.
Science-based learning strategy - the best way to learn
Research shows that the best way to retain information is to write on paper. You should write down an attempt at the question, then ask Rewise Chat about the answer you have written down if you are unsure. This way, you are actively engaging with the information and are more likely to remember it. When you are confident in your answer, check the marking scheme. If you are wrong, ask Rewise Chat why you are wrong and how you can improve.
Example 1: Getting the information you actually need
In this example, we use Rewise Chat to give us information we need to learn that isn't available. Often times the marking scheme provides information for the examiner, but not for the student. This makes traditional study tools for viewing exam papers and marking schemes ineffective. Rewise Chat fixes this.This is a useful feature for all students and benefits everyone at every stage of their learning journey. If you're a prepared student that already knows the marking scheme answer, you can ask a follow up question (see example below)
Example 2: Building understanding to help you remember better
In this example, we use Rewise Chat to help understand the concept by asking why something is the way it is. This helps a student relate more to the topic and understand why it matters in the real world. A key part of learning is understanding why something is the way it is, rather than just memorising facts.For students who find it hard to remember blocks of text. Also great for 5th years as building understanding helps commit the information to your long term memory.
Example 3: Going for the top marks
In this example, we use Rewise Chat to expand the information available in the marking scheme to give us a clearer understanding of the concept we need to learn. Often times the exam paper asks for an example, but the marking scheme only provides a few examples. This is a useful feature for students who want to excel in their exams, or for teachers who want to double check an answer they don't know off the top of their head.
Quiz yourself
In this example, we use Rewise Chat to create quiz questions for ourselves. This is a useful feature for students who want to test their knowledge and see if they can remember the information they have learned. It also gives them full control over the questions. For example, rather than choosing ten questions on the topic 'cells' in biology, they can choose any number of questions on the subtopic of cell division.This is very useful for testing knowledge and seeing if you can remember the information you have learned. It works great for learning quotes in poetry or novels too!
