How to use LIRA

How each part fits together — and the one thing that matters most per surface.

The 2-minute version

LIRA turns your misses into a map. You log what you got wrong and why; LIRA finds the patterns and tells you what to work on next.

Day one: set your test date in Plan, add a resource or two you're using, then log your first missed question in Study. Everything else builds from there.

Plan — where you're going

Goals: test date, target score, baseline, weekly hours, per-section goals. LIRA uses all of these to pace you and to calibrate the daily tip.

Full Lengths: every full-length practice test by section, plotted over time. Section trends are the single highest-signal metric in MCAT prep — log every one, including ones you don't want to think about.

Resources: your personal library. Only add what you're actually using — the AAMC inventory tracker catches burning AAMC content too early, which is the most common self-inflicted prep mistake.

Study — what to do today

Log a Question: paste or screenshot a missed question. Tag why it went wrong (conceptual gap, misread, careless, timing, etc.). Optionally build a flashcard from THIS miss and push it straight to Anki.

Quick Practice Quiz: LIRA writes 3–15 MCAT-style questions targeting your weakest areas, then logs your results back into your history. Rate your confidence per question — that signal powers the trend chart on Review.

Log a Session: record a focused block of content review, FL review, or any study work. Builds your streak and feeds the day × hour heatmap on Sessions.

Review — find the patterns

Every question you've logged, with filters by section, topic, tag, date, and confidence. Click any row to expand and edit.

Three panels at the top matter most: Error Patterns (what kind of mistakes dominate), Confidence Trend (which topics are actually getting stronger), Weak Areas (the ranked list LIRA uses for quiz generation).

Bulk-select rows and apply tags to backfill pre-tagging data — takes two minutes, dramatically sharpens every analytics view afterward.

Chat with LIRA

The Chat tab is your AI coach. LIRA sees everything you've logged — questions, full-length trends, error patterns, sessions, AAMC progress, Anki health if connected — and the advice is specific to you.

Use the floating LIRA button to chat from any page without leaving what you're doing. Paste images directly into the chat if you want LIRA to walk through a specific question.

Dashboard

Your snapshot. Test countdown, streak, latest FL, AAMC inventory, section mastery, weekly activity, top weak areas. No actions live here — it's status only. Use the top nav to actually do things.
