Organization System

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.

  • 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.

Progress Tracking at Every Level

Know exactly where you stand—from individual flashcards to entire subjects.

Metric How It's Calculated Example
Flashcard Mastery %Mastered ÷ Total × 10018 ÷ 30 = 60%
Quiz Avg (Chapter)Sum of scores ÷ Attempts(65+75+80) ÷ 3 = 73.3%
Quiz Avg (Subject)Average of chapter averages(73+81+78) ÷ 3 = 77.3%
Overall MasteryAll mastered ÷ All cards × 100198 ÷ 324 = 61%
Why This Matters

Adding Multiple Files to One Chapter

Combine lecture notes, textbook pages, and slides into one complete study set.

Multi-File Chapter

Lecture_Notes_Week3.pdf
Textbook_Chapter_4.pdf
Prof_Smith_Slides.pdf

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

1
Open Your Chapter

Go to an existing chapter (e.g., "Cell Structure").

2
Click "Add Another File"

Button appears in the chapter view.

3
Upload Second PDF

Same process: choose file, select pages (optional), generate.

4
Materials Combine

New flashcards and quiz questions are added to the chapter. Your progress continues from where it was.

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.

What Can You Regenerate?

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.
