Build a daily study routine with a quiz bot

Most study plans fail for one boring reason: they need you to remember to start them. A routine built around a quiz bot works differently: the practice arrives on its own, in small pieces, spread through the day. You just have to answer what shows up. This guide walks through building that routine in four simple steps.

Step 1: Let the scheduled quizzes run in the background

Once a bot is added to your group and given admin rights, it starts sending one question at a time, on its own, without anyone asking for it. By default this happens every hour. That’s already a study session, just spread across the day instead of packed into one sitting.

A group that has bought the Settings Pass can change that pace in /settings:

Those counts assume quizzes run around the clock, which is the default. A group that turns on quiet hours in /settings narrows the active window, which lowers the daily count accordingly.

You don’t need the fastest setting to make progress. A slower group that stays consistent for months beats a fast one that burns out in a week. Start at the default and only speed up if the group is clearing every question comfortably.

One thing worth knowing: turning the daily leaderboard on automatically brings a slower group up to the hourly pace, so there’s enough activity for a leaderboard to mean something. It leaves a group that’s already hourly (or faster) alone.

Step 2: Add a short solo test each day

The scheduled questions are shared with the whole group, at the group’s pace. For your own, self-paced practice, message the bot privately and send /mocktest for a quick timed test whenever suits you: 20 questions free, one test every 24 hours (on one subject if you like), or more subject tests and 40, 60 or 100 questions with a Mock Test Pass. No group needed, and nobody else sees the result.

A good habit: one /mocktest a day, at a time that’s actually free, such as before bed, on a commute, or between classes. Five minutes is enough for the shortest version.

Step 3: Use the leaderboard as your checkpoint

You don’t need to track your own progress in a separate app. Send /myscore any time to see your stats, including your lifetime accuracy and best mock-test score. Most groups also get a leaderboard once a day (once a week on SSC, RRB, Police Prep); use it as a simple checkpoint: is your rank holding, moving up, or slipping? See how the leaderboard works for exactly how it’s calculated.

Step 4: Adjust as the exam gets closer

A routine doesn’t have to stay the same for months. As an exam date gets closer, a group with the Settings Pass can move to a faster interval from the table above for more daily questions. On a heavy exam-prep day, an admin can also pause everything with /stopquiz and resume later with /startquiz; your scores are kept exactly as they were while paused.

One way to lay out a day

This is only an example: fit it around your own schedule, not the other way round.

• Through the day: answer the scheduled questions as they arrive in your group, no extra time set aside for this, just answer when you see one.
• One quiet slot: a 10-question /mocktest somewhere you’d normally be scrolling your phone anyway.
• Once a day: check /myscore: thirty seconds, and it tells you whether today actually moved the number.
• Once a week: look at the leaderboard trend, not just one day’s result. A single bad day means little; a rank that keeps slipping over two weeks is worth adjusting for.
