The PAES is won per test, not per marathon. Reading Comprehension, Math M1 (plus M2 for programs that require it), Science and History demand different routines: reading for one, procedure for the other. This method gives you that routine in Vortixy: one project per test, quizzes with explanations, and cards that come back on their own. Always confirm the current syllabus at DEMRE, which overrides any summary.
One project per test
Each test has its own syllabus and PDFs: do not mix them into one endless conversation. Open one study project per test —Reading, M1, Science— with its materials and instructions, and request practice from that test only in each block.
When you ask for questions or explanations, the model works on your real syllabus instead of generic internet summaries. That is the difference between practicing and browsing.
Reading: read, answer, explain
Paste a passage and ask for 5 comprehension questions with 4 options and an explanation of each answer. Answer without rereading the passage first, then verify: most Reading misses are hurried reading —picking what the text does NOT say— rather than memory failures.
For each miss write one sentence: why the right answer is right and why yours tempted you. That sentence repairs reasoning, not just facts, and becomes your best card.
Math: procedure before result
In M1 and M2 a quiz only helps if the explanation shows the step-by-step procedure. Ask for quizzes where each answer explains the path, not just the correct letter; solve on paper before looking at the options, because recognizing the answer among alternatives trains the opposite of what the test demands.
Keep a short error list by type —signs, graph reading, confused formulas— and open each session by re-testing yesterday's misses. The first ten minutes decide what the hour is worth.
Try it in the chat: quiz me PAES-styleClose each block with a mini-quiz
End each block by testing what you just covered: five questions, no notes, five minutes. The quiz converts a passive hour into a measured one —you leave knowing exactly what stuck and what needs tomorrow's first ten minutes—.
Untested sessions feel complete and evaporate; tested ones leave a list. That list is tomorrow's plan, already written.
Review misses before anything new
Short daily batches with honest grading: shaky means hard and returns sooner by design. If your plan's daily generation limits stop you, review cards exported to Anki or Markdown instead of making new ones.
Mix tests in the same evening instead of blocking one: mixed practice forces your brain to reload the right method each time, which is exactly what the PAES demands —no label announces which test each question comes from—.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for M2 if my program requires it?
Yes: the method is the same, the material changes. Upload the M2 syllabus to its project and ask for quizzes on that content; the format adapts to the material you give it.
How much time per day do I need?
One test block with its closing quiz, every day, beats a weekly marathon. Daily consistency with honest grading is the whole secret.
Can I study from lecture videos?
Yes: import the video transcript into the study panel and generate cards and a quiz from it. If the video has no captions, the panel guides you to copy the transcript in one minute.
