How To Use AI To Help With CARs

Kalypso is your AI study partner for CARS, designed to help both during testing and review. Let's explore how to use him effectively:

During Testing

Kalypso can be activated in several ways:

• Press Cmd + A (or Ctrl + A on Windows)
• Click the cat icon in the top right
• It automatically activates after:
  • 7 minutes on a passage
  • 3 minutes on a question

When Stuck on a Passage

1. Ask for a summary of the entire passage
2. Request paragraph-by-paragraph breakdowns
3. Copy/paste confusing sentences for explanation
4. Use Cmd + I for quick word definitions

During Review

The review process is crucial for improvement. Here's how to use Kalypso effectively:

1. Start with tooltips/explanations turned OFF
2. Try to explain the answer yourself first
3. Discuss with Kalypso:
   • Why the correct answer is right
   • Why your answer was wrong
   • What pattern you might have missed
4. Use hint/relevant context features
5. Finally, turn on tooltips and compare with official explanations
