Turn messy notes into mastery.
Upload your PDFs, Word docs, and slides, then chat with an AI tutor that has actually read your material. Turn it into practice problems, mock exams, quizzes, and flashcards — all grounded in what you gave it.
An exam is never one document. Build it from every material it actually spans — and when you add the syllabus, Mento tells you which topics your materials don't cover, before the exam does.
Watch it turn a bad note into a real question.
This is the whole loop. Your own words go in; something you can actually be tested on comes out, with the source always attached.

What a study session looks like
Bring your own material
PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, or pasted text. Mento reads what you actually have to study, not a generic syllabus.
Ask it anything about that material
Chat with a tutor that has read your file, and get explanations or summaries of any passage you select.
Practise until you can retrieve it
Mento writes practice problems from your material, with graduated hints instead of instant answers, and difficulty that follows your results.
Come back when it is due
Problems you solved return on a widening schedule — two days, a week, three weeks, two months — because spacing is what makes it stick.
Built where the stakes are real.
Mento is used for the kind of studying where the exam matters and there is more material than time.
- Bar review and law coursework
- Nursing and medical board prep
- University entrance exams
- Graduate research methods
- Physiology and the life sciences
- Economics and management
- Quality management and process work
- Licensure and civil service review
For four exams, we wrote the reviewer ourselves.
Everything above works on material you already have. But naming a gap and filling it are different jobs: a coverage check that says a topic is missing still leaves you to go and find it, usually on the night you can least afford the errand.
So for the UPCAT, the Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination, the LET for elementary teachers and the Professional-level Civil Service Examination, every single topic now has a reviewer of its own. A reviewer is one topic from the exam's published scope, written out in full — with a diagram or comparison table, a common-mistake warning, a recall check, and its own practice questions, each one explaining its answer.
Mento generated them ahead of time from what each examining body publicly names. They are not official reviewers, the questions are not past exam questions, and no examining body wrote or approved them. Topic weightings are left out because we have not checked them against the current bulletin. A free account opens the free programs in full, reviewers and their practice questions included. Every program also keeps one topic readable with no account at all, so you can judge the writing before you decide anything.
Mento is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any examining body named here. Confirm the official bulletin for your own exam cycle.
Why this works
Re-reading a chapter feels productive and mostly is not. What moves knowledge into long-term memory is retrieving it — being asked, struggling slightly, and then finding out. Mento is built around that one finding rather than around making notes prettier.
So problems come with graduated hints instead of a reveal button, because a hint you had to use still counts as retrieval and an answer you were handed does not. Solved problems come back on a widening schedule, because the gap between attempts is doing the work. And Mento asks how confident you were before it tells you if you were right, so you can see where you are confidently wrong — the most expensive place to be the night before an exam.
A schedule also needs an end. Give Mento the date of your exam and it changes what it will do as that date approaches: inside the last two days it stops introducing material you have never attempted and works only on what you have already touched, and on the day itself it drops to what is due for review. The point is not to cram harder at the end — it is to stop starting things you have no time left to finish.
There is also a limit to what testing yourself can tell you. It measures how well you know the material you have — and stays silent about the material you never collected. A tool that reads one document, quizzes you on that document and scores you on that document will report a rising number while a whole topic remains invisible. So Mento compares your materials against your syllabus and names the topics nothing in your library covers. Without a syllabus it will not guess at your exam's scope — it indexes what you have and tells you that is what it did. Why gaps need an outside authority.
None of this requires believing that you are a “visual learner”. That idea has been tested repeatedly and does not hold up, so Mento does not sort you by it. How Mento uses AI, including what it can get wrong, is written out in full.
Do not take our word for any of that
Everything above is an argument from evidence, so the evidence is published in full — including the parts that argue against features we could more easily have sold you.
- Review center or self-review? How to actually decideStructure, pacing, cost and accountability trade off differently on each side. The right choice depends on which constraint binds you, not on which camp shouts loudest.
- Reviewing for a board exam while working full-timeA working week does not leave you less of the same review. It leaves you a different one: shorter blocks, a longer runway, and no slack to waste on rereading.
- How to use a LET reviewer without wasting your timeThe reviewers going around online cover the exam unevenly, and none of them tell you what they skip. The blueprint is the checklist; the reviewer only fills it in.
- The topics your reviewer never mentionsYour notes decide what you revise. The exam does not consult your notes. Everything you never studied lives in the space between those two facts.
- Preparing for UPCAT, USTET and the other entrance examsEntrance exams are not harder versions of your school tests. They are timed, coverage-defined, and reward a kind of preparation almost nobody is taught.
- You are not a visual learnerMatching teaching to a student's preferred style has been tested repeatedly and does not work. Believing it does can actively cost you.
- Retrieval practice, and how to actually do itOne of only two study techniques rated high-utility across ages, subjects and abilities — and the one students are least likely to use.
- Preparing for the Philippine Bar, without drowning in codalsThe bar rewards recall under pressure. Most review schedules are built around coverage instead, which is why they feel productive and leave so little behind.
