Step 1: Gather all your study materials, everything from complex diagrams to handwritten notes, and upload them directly into Gemini.

What to Upload: PDFs, lecture slides, detailed diagrams, lab reports, and photos of your handwritten notes.

This helps you create one organised study hub where all your materials can be easily found and ready to use whenever you need them.

Step 2: After your materials have been uploaded, start working with them in an active way. Ask Gemini to work with your content so that your study time becomes more dynamic and effective. Here are some easy prompts you can get started with:

1. Summarise complex notes.

Prompt: “Please summarise in bullet points the key themes from my lecture notes.”

2. Develop concept maps.

Prompt: “Create a concept map linking the main ideas in these three uploaded chapters.”

3. Asking pointed questions.

Prompt: “What are the major differences between [Concept A] and [Concept B] mentioned in this PDF?

4. Simplify tough topics.

Prompt: “Explain, in simple, easy-to-understand language, the process described in this lab diagram.”

In this way, you go from passively reading to more actively thinking about and engaging with your study material.
