Tips to get higher-quality results

• Clean your PDF: Remove unnecessary pages like covers or indices to keep the AI focused on the core content.

• Provide context: When using the AI tutor, tell it the specific role you are interviewing for so it can frame the questions better.

• Focus on sections: Use the chapter selection tool to generate questions page-by-page for more detail.

• Use high-quality text: Ensure your PDF isn’t blurry so the AI can accurately read job requirements or case studies.

Troubleshooting

• Scanned PDF not reading: Try to re-scan with higher contrast or use a digital version of the document for better text extraction.

• Questions are too repetitive: Select ‘Mixed’ question types or increase the difficulty slider to force more variety in the output.

• Output is too generic: Ensure you have highlighted or focused on the specific ‘Experience’ section of the PDF before generating.

• Too many questions: Use the ‘Limit’ feature to generate only the top 10 most relevant behavioral questions.
