How to Use the Knightlite Study App

Knightlite turns the textbook on your reading list into practice questions you can study by chapter, by weak spot, or against the clock. This guide walks through every screen in the app and what each feature does.

Getting started

Guides: Pick Your Book

Knightlite is free to download. Each study guide is a separate purchase inside the app, so you only buy the books on your reading list. The Guides tab is where you choose which book you are studying.

  • Current Study Guide The guide currently loaded on the Home tab. Everything you do in the app applies to this book.
  • Owned Guides Every guide you have bought. Tap one to make it your active study book. Your progress in each book is kept separately.
  • Guides Available to Purchase Add another question bank when you are ready for your next exam.
  • Previous Edition Guides Older editions are listed separately so they never get mixed up with current books. Use one only if your reading list names that edition.
  • Search and Restore Purchases Search by title or book, and use Restore Purchases on a new phone or tablet to bring back guides you already own.

Match the edition. Exams are written from the specific edition on your reading list. If you are not sure which guide you need, the study guide directory lists every book by title and edition.

Home: Set Up Your Next Session

The Home tab shows the book you are studying, how many questions and chapters it has, and how many you have answered. Below that are the controls that decide what goes into your next study session.

Daily Drill

A short session picked for you each day, mixing questions you have missed, questions you have not seen yet, and questions due for review. Tap Start Daily Drill, and come back tomorrow to keep your Day Streak going. Once you finish, Run Again lets you repeat it. You can change how many questions are in each drill in Settings.

Resume Test

If you leave a quiz before finishing, Resume Test appears on the Home tab so you can pick up right where you left off.

Question Filters

Choose which questions are included in your next session.

  • All Questions Use every question in the book. Best for full practice.
  • Incorrectly Answered Only the questions you have missed before. This is the fastest way to work on weak spots.
  • Unanswered Only questions you have never seen, so you can work through the whole book without repeats.
  • Flagged Questions Only the questions you flagged to revisit later.

Quiz Settings

  • Randomize Questions Shuffle the question order every time you start, so you learn the material instead of the sequence.
  • Limit Questions Cap the session at a set number of questions for a quick ten-minute review.

Once your filters and settings are chosen, start the session with the whole book, or go to the Chapters tab to study one chapter at a time.

Four Ways to Study

Under Modes on the Home tab, pick the way you want to study this round. The same questions can be practiced four different ways.

  • Quiz Mode The default. Answer each question, get scored, and see your results at the end.
  • Flashcard Mode See the question first, try to recall the answer, then tap to reveal it. Good for active recall without the multiple-choice hints.
  • Review Mode Shows each question with its correct answer right away, for reading through material. Turn on Auto Play to have the app read through every question hands-free, which works well on a commute.
  • Five-Alarm Mode Race the clock: correct answers add time and wrong answers take it away. See Five-Alarm Mode below.

Study: Answer the Questions

When you start a session, the Study tab opens. A progress bar across the top fills as you go. Each question has four answer choices: tap the one you think is right and you see the result immediately. A correct answer turns green. A wrong answer turns red, and the correct answer is highlighted so you learn it on the spot.

Toolbar

  • Flag Mark a question to come back to later, or tap again to unflag it. Flagged questions can be studied on their own from the Home tab.
  • Turbo Answer Move straight to the next question as soon as you answer.
  • Read Aloud Have the question and answer choices read out loud.
  • Show Score Show or hide your running score while you work.

Navigation

Use First, Previous, Next, and Last to move through the session.

Under each question

  • Book location The chapter and textbook page the question comes from, so you can go straight back to the source when you miss one.
  • Your notes Write your own note on any question and tap Save Note. All of your notes are collected in My Notes on the Home tab.
  • Your history How many times you have answered this question correctly and incorrectly.

Every Answer Points Back to the Book

In every mode, each question carries its location in the textbook. When a question gives you trouble, you do not have to hunt through the chapter to find the material again: the page number is right there.

A study loop that works: read a chapter, answer that chapter's questions with the book closed, flag what was genuinely unclear, reread those pages, then run the chapter again a few days later in random order.

Timed practice

Five-Alarm Mode

Five-Alarm Mode trains speed under pressure, the way a written exam with a time limit does.

  • Start the clock You begin with a set amount of time.
  • Earn time Each correct answer adds bonus seconds to the clock.
  • Lose time Each wrong answer takes 2 seconds away.
  • Beat your best The session ends when the timer reaches zero. Turbo Answer is on automatically to keep the pace up, and the app tracks your high score.

The starting time and the bonus per correct answer can both be adjusted in Settings.

Chapters: Study One Chapter at a Time

The Chapters tab lists every chapter in your book, matching the textbook's own chapters. Each one shows its question count, how many you have seen, how many you got wrong, how many you flagged, and a percent complete, so you can see at a glance where you are strong and where you need another pass.

Build your quiz

Choose one chapter or several, then decide whether to shuffle the questions and whether to cap the question count, then load just those chapters into your study session.

Vocab: Learn the Terms

The Vocab tab holds the key terms and acronyms from your book. You can switch between Vocab and Study at any time without losing your place in a quiz.

  • List Mode Browse every term with its definition, and search by term or definition.
  • Term First flashcards See the term, recall the definition, tap to reveal.
  • Definition First flashcards See the definition and name the term, which is closer to how exams ask about vocabulary.
  • Shuffle Mix up the order so you are not just memorizing the alphabet.
  • Read aloud Listen to a single term, or have the whole list read out to study on the go.

Results and Notes

Quiz Results

  • Practice Missed Start a new session with just the questions you got wrong on that attempt.
  • Retake Full Test Run the same set of questions again to see if your score moves.

My Notes

Every note you have written on a question is collected in one place, so you can review everything you saved for a book before exam day.
