Subjects, Chapters, and Files—How It All Connects
Think of it like folders on your computer, but designed specifically for studying.
The Three-Level System
Level 1: Subject (The Big Bucket)
Your main course or topic. Examples:
- Biology 101
- Calculus II
- World History
Level 2: Chapter (The Folder)
A specific topic within that subject. You can have many chapters per subject. Examples under "Biology 101":
- Chapter 4: Cell Structure
- Chapter 5: Photosynthesis
- Chapter 6: DNA & Genetics
Level 3: Files (The PDFs)
The actual study materials. You can add multiple PDFs to one chapter. Examples under "Chapter 4: Cell Structure":
- Lecture_Notes_Week3.pdf
- Textbook_Chapter_4_Pages_20-35.pdf
- Prof_Smith_Slides.pdf
Why This Matters
When exam time comes, you don't need to hunt through random files. Everything is organized exactly like your syllabus. Biology → Cell Structure → All materials + flashcards + quizzes in one place.
Organization Hierarchy

Flashcards for Active Recall
The proven way to move information from short-term to long-term memory.
How Flashcards Work
What Gets Generated
AI creates 20-40 flashcards per file (depends on content). Each card has:
- Front: A question or prompt
- Back: The answer or explanation
Studying with Flashcards
See the Question
Card shows front side. Read the question and try to answer in your head.
Flip to Check
Click anywhere or press spacebar. Card flips to show the answer.
Mark Your Progress
Two buttons appear: "I knew this" or "Need to review". Be honest.
Next Card
Automatically moves to the next card. Repeat until done.
Mastery Tracking
Every time you mark a card "I knew this", it's counted as mastered. You'll see:
- Per-set progress: "14/30 mastered" for this chapter
- Subject total: "45/120 mastered" across all chapters in Biology
- Filter by status: Show only "Need Review" cards to focus on weak spots
Can I Regenerate Flashcards?
Yes, on Pro plans. If the flashcards don't match your learning style, click "Regenerate Flashcards" and AI creates a new set from the same PDF. Takes 20-30 seconds.
Flashcard Practice

Flashcard Progress Calculation
Example: Biology - Cell Structure
You have 30 flashcards in this chapter.
How it's calculated: Mastered ÷ Total = 18 ÷ 30 = 0.60 = 60%
Quizzes—Test Yourself Like the Real Exam
Multiple-choice questions with two modes: practice for learning, exam for testing.

How Quiz Scores Are Calculated
Per-Quiz Score
Simple percentage:
- Correct answers ÷ Total questions × 100
- Example: 7 correct out of 10 = 70%
Chapter Average
Average of all quiz attempts in this chapter:
- Quiz 1: 65%
- Quiz 2: 75%
- Quiz 3: 80%
- Chapter average: (65 + 75 + 80) ÷ 3 = 73.3%
Subject Average
Average across all chapters in the subject:
- Cell Structure chapter: 73% avg
- Photosynthesis chapter: 81% avg
- DNA chapter: 78% avg
- Biology subject avg: (73 + 81 + 78) ÷ 3 = 77.3%
Score Tracking

Progress Tracking at Every Level
Know exactly where you stand—from individual flashcards to entire subjects.
Three Levels of Progress
Study Set Level (Most Detailed)
When you open a specific chapter (e.g., "Cell Structure"), you see:
- Flashcards: 18/30 mastered (60%)
- Quiz attempts: 3 attempts with scores: 65%, 75%, 80%
- Latest quiz score: 80%
- Files: 2 PDFs processed
Subject Level (Summary View)
On your dashboard, each subject card shows:
- Total chapters: 3 chapters
- Total flashcards: 85 flashcards across all chapters
- Mastery: 51/85 mastered (60%)
- Quiz average: 75% across all chapters
Overall Dashboard (Big Picture)
Top of dashboard shows your total stats:
- Total subjects: 4 subjects
- Total study sets: 12 chapters
- Total flashcards: 324 cards
- Overall mastery: 198/324 mastered (61%)
Progress Calculation Examples
| Metric | How It's Calculated | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Flashcard Mastery % | Mastered cards ÷ Total cards × 100 | 18 mastered ÷ 30 total = 60% |
| Quiz Average (Chapter) | Sum of all quiz scores ÷ Number of attempts | (65 + 75 + 80) ÷ 3 = 73.3% |
| Quiz Average (Subject) | Average of all chapter averages in subject | (73 + 81 + 78) ÷ 3 = 77.3% |
| Subject Mastery % | Total mastered ÷ Total cards in subject × 100 | 51 mastered ÷ 85 total = 60% |
| Overall Mastery % | All mastered cards ÷ All cards across subjects × 100 | 198 mastered ÷ 324 total = 61% |
Why This Matters
You can see exactly which chapters need more work. If Biology is at 60% but History is at 85%, you know where to focus your study time. Progress updates in real-time as you study—mark 3 flashcards as mastered, your percentage goes up immediately.
Adding Multiple Files to One Chapter
Combine lecture notes, textbook pages, and slides into one complete study set.
Why Add Multiple Files?
Sometimes one chapter needs multiple sources:
- Professor's lecture slides + textbook chapter
- Two different textbook sections on the same topic
- Lecture notes from Week 1 + Week 2 on the same concept
How It Works
Open Your Chapter
Go to an existing chapter (e.g., "Cell Structure").
Click "Add Another File"
Button appears in the chapter view.
Upload Second PDF
Same process: choose file, select pages (optional), generate.
Materials Combine
New flashcards and quiz questions are added to the chapter. Your progress continues from where it was.
What Happens to Your Progress?
- Flashcards you already mastered stay mastered
- New flashcards from the second file start as "Not Reviewed"
- Your mastery % recalculates: "18/30" becomes "18/50" (60% → 36% until you master the new ones)
- Quiz average stays the same (old quizzes aren't affected)
File Limits
Free plan: 1 file per chapter. Paid plans: Add as many files as you want to each chapter. All materials stay organized in one place.
Multi-File Chapter
Screenshot: Chapter view showing 3 PDFs listed with individual file details
Regenerate Materials Anytime
Don't like the flashcards? Get a fresh set in 30 seconds.
Regenerate Options
Screenshot: Buttons for "Regenerate Summary", "Regenerate Flashcards", "Regenerate Quiz"
What Can You Regenerate?
Flashcards
Most common use case. If the questions don't match your learning style, click "Regenerate Flashcards".
- Takes 20-30 seconds
- Creates completely new questions from the same content
- Warning: Your mastery progress resets (you'll need to re-learn the new cards)
Quizzes
Get new quiz questions if you've memorized the old ones.
- Creates new multiple-choice questions
- Old quiz scores remain in history
- Useful for retesting yourself with fresh questions
Summary
Less common, but available if you want a different angle.
- Different key concepts emphasized
- New study tips
Before You Regenerate
Flashcards: Your mastery progress will be lost. If you're at 25/30 mastered, regenerating means starting over at 0/30.
Quizzes: Old quiz scores stay in your history, so your average won't change until you take new quizzes.
How Many Times Can I Regenerate?
Unlimited on Pro plans, but each regeneration uses one of your monthly AI generation credits. Check your usage in Settings.

The Mongur Difference
We're not trying to be everything. Notion is great for notes, Quizlet is good for manual flashcards, and ChatGPT is powerful for general questions. But none of them are built specifically to turn your PDFs into complete, organized study materials for exams. That's where Mongur shines—we do one thing really well: help you prepare for exams with AI-generated summaries, flashcards, and quizzes, all organized by subject and chapter.
