| Option | Best for | Limit to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Generic AI chatbot | Quick explanation or brainstorming. | Usually does not know the student's course map, saved weak spots or exam-specific practice history. |
| Flashcard app | Vocabulary, formulas and rapid recall. | Flashcards do not replace multi-step practice or test-style reasoning. |
| Tutoring | Human feedback, accountability and complex misconceptions. | Tutoring can be expensive and students still need consistent practice between sessions. |
| Official practice materials | Understanding the format and source-of-truth exam structure. | Official materials still need review routines, mistake logs and targeted retakes. |
