Private beta: now inviting testers
Practice tests from your notes
Turn your notes into real practice tests.
Upload or paste your notes. Practavi writes questions from them, checks every one against your notes, and gives you a timed practice test that feels like the real thing.
How it works
From notes to a real test in three steps
Add what you have
Paste notes or upload a PDF, Word file, slides or photos of handwritten pages. Already have questions? Import those instead.
Approve the topics
Practavi reads your notes and proposes the topics to practice. You approve the outline without seeing a single question or answer.
Practice like it's test day
Every question is checked against your notes before it reaches you. Then take a timed test, drill one topic, or do your daily review.
Why Practavi?
Built for the test you're actually taking
It feels like the real test
Timed modules in the digital test layout, with a graphing calculator, Mark for Review and an answer eliminator. Test day looks familiar.
Questions from your own notes
Your class material, not a generic bank. Each question is checked against your notes, and any that doesn't hold up is thrown out.
Progress you can trust
Progress uses answers given after a break, so a good run in one sitting doesn't become a promise about test day.
Private, with no distractions
Everything you add is visible only to you. No streaks, coins or pop-ups, and never an ad while you study. Just the test.
Why we built it
Studying that feels productive isn't always studying that works
Practavi grew out of a practice app its founder built for their own test preparation. The aim is simple: turn the material you’re studying into practice you can return to over time.
Practavi draws on learning research: questions that ask you to recall, practice spread over days, topics mixed together, and progress that only counts what you still remember.
Retrieval practice
Answering from memory can improve longer-term retention. Practavi gives you questions to answer before showing the explanation.
Spacing
Spreading practice over time can help you remember it longer. Review uses your earlier answers to estimate when to revisit a question.
Interleaving
Mixing problem types can help you distinguish which method a problem needs. Review mixes topics and sets where possible; the cited research studied mathematics practice.
Practice the way you'll be tested
Practice can help when it involves the kinds of thinking a later test requires. Timed practice tests also let you get familiar with the tools and screen; the cited study did not test this layout.
What counts as progress
Getting a question right twice in one sitting proves little. Practavi measures the kind of recall that shows up on test day.
Counts
- Your first answer to a question at least 20 hours after you last saw it
- Those answers from any mode: tests, Drill or Review
Doesn't count
- Redoing a question you just missed
- Answering the same question again within 12 hours
- Your accuracy within a single session
Why it looks like this
The layout is part of the practice
Practice with familiar digital-testing conventions: a timer, review flags and clear navigation, with room to focus on the question.
The real layout
The timer and tools across the top, the question in a reading column, and navigation along the bottom, with Mark for Review, the answer eliminator and the calculator where you'll find them on test day.
The same typeface
Questions and passages are set in Noto Serif, the typeface the official digital tests use.
Nothing else on screen
No ads, badges or streaks while you study. Three study modes instead of a dozen games, so your time goes into answering questions.
Study modes
Three ways to study
Review every day, drill what's weak, and take a full test when you're ready.
Review
A short daily mix from your sets, with questions scheduled using your earlier answers.
Drill
Work through one topic at a time. You get feedback after every answer, and the questions you miss come back before you finish.
Practice Test
Timed modules in a digital test layout, for when you want a full run under test conditions.
Imports
Bring what you already have
Notes
PDF, Word, PowerPoint or plain text, or photos of handwritten pages.
Question spreadsheets
CSV or tab-separated files, with the answers in a column.
Flashcard exports
Term lists become multiple-choice questions, using your other cards as the wrong answers.
Numbered questions
Text, Word or PDF, with an “Answer:” line or a starred choice.
FAQ
Questions
How do I get in?
Practavi is in a private beta. Join the waitlist with your email, and we’ll send you an invite code when there’s a spot. Each code makes one account.
Is Practavi free?
It’s free during the beta. Plans for after the beta aren’t decided yet, and we’ll tell testers before anything changes.
Who writes the questions?
An AI model writes them from your notes. A model from a different AI company then answers each question using only your notes, and any question that doesn't hold up is thrown out before you see it.
Who can see my notes?
Only you. Everything you import or generate is private to your account, and nothing can be shared publicly. To write and check questions, Practavi sends your notes to AI providers (Anthropic and OpenAI, through OpenRouter) that don't train on them.
Why doesn't my progress change right away?
Because getting a question right minutes after you saw it says little about test day. Progress counts only your first answer at least 20 hours later, and it waits until there's enough of those to mean something.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes, it works in your phone's browser. For full practice tests, a laptop feels closest to the real thing.
How old do I need to be?
Practavi is for students aged 13 and up. Sign-up asks for your birth date.
Your next test starts with your notes.
