TL;DR
What did u/Conscious-Switch-376 use NotebookLM for?
After general chatbots mixed up accounting rules, a student switched to NotebookLM, uploading each week's chapters and slides and asking for a hard 15-question quiz with an answer key that explains the wrong choices. Because the answers come only from their own course files, the quizzes cover the formulas and ideas the professor stresses in the slides. They say hearing the concepts talked about casually in the audio helps them stick before a quiz.
What they did
They have a quiz every week, and general AI chatbots kept getting accounting standards wrong or mixing up international and local rules. Now they make a new NotebookLM notebook for each weekly topic, upload the exact textbook chapters and the professor's slides, and ask it to act as a strict university professor and write a 15-question multiple-choice quiz on the hardest concepts, with an answer key at the end that explains why the other choices are wrong. They also listen to the Audio Overview on their commute.
How it went

Worth knowing
- It only knows what you upload, so use your current course materials, and check any answer that looks off against the textbook.
Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Act as a strict university professor. Using only the sources in this notebook, write a 15-question multiple-choice quiz on the hardest and most easily confused ideas in this week's material. Put the answer key at the end, and for each question explain why the right answer is right and why each wrong choice is wrong.
