Study Feed is Lerno's practice surface: a snap-to-card feed of questions from your grade and curriculum, built for short sessions when you want reps instead of a long chat.
Each card is one question. You answer, see feedback, and move on — the feed keeps serving the next best card for how you are doing.
What you use it for
- Quick revision — a few minutes between classes or before a unit test.
- Mixed practice — MCQs and short answers drawn from the same chapter and subject structure your school follows.
- Honest reps — the feed is allowed to bring questions back over time (spaced repetition), because that is how memory actually forms.
It pairs naturally with Ask Mode: use Ask when you need an explanation, use Study Feed when you need volume and speed.
How a session is scoped
You work inside your profile grade and filters you choose — for example subject, chapter, question type, difficulty, and (when it makes sense) source filters for the bank. The feed keeps a practice session open so attempts, streaks, and summaries stay tied to that sitting.
Questions come from Lerno's curated item bank (NCERT-aligned and exam-style material), not from random web trivia. That keeps difficulty and wording closer to what you will see in school.
What happens when you answer (system overview)
At a high level:
- Session — you start (or continue) a feed session so the app can batch questions and log progress cleanly.
- Next batch — the server pulls a pool of candidates matching your filters and scores them for novelty, spaced repetition, diversity, and a light nudge from your learner memory (for example weak topics) — memory informs the mix; it does not fully dictate it.
- Attempt — each answer is stored (correct, incorrect, skipped, or marked done for notebook work where relevant).
- Short answers — written responses can be evaluated with guidance so you get more than a binary wrong when the question needs it.
- Mastery — after enough signal on a topic, progress can flow into the same topic mastery path the tutor uses, so your Ask Mode experience benefits from real practice, not only chat.
In short: filters → ranked queue → attempt → feedback → progress — on a loop built for mobile-style scrolling.
Capabilities shipped with Study Feed
- Snap scrolling — one dominant card at a time so you stay focused.
- Multiple question types — including short answer where it fits the syllabus.
- Session stats — keep track of how a sitting is going without getting in the way of flow.
- Filters — narrow to the unit you are preparing for, without leaving the feed.
- Shared progress model — practice in the feed can reinforce what the tutor already thinks you know or still need to work on.
Honesty and limits
- The bank is finite — if filters are very tight, you might see fewer cards until you widen scope or come back another day.
- Evaluation is automated — short-answer checking is guidance, not a human examiner; use teacher feedback for board-exact phrasing.
- Streaks and scores are motivational — they are not official grades or predictions of exam results.
Study Feed is for building fluency. Your textbook and past papers stay the source of truth for what “exam perfect” looks like.
