The tool below builds questions from your own notes.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Unit 3 craft terms, from your own notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This is a text splitter rather than a tutor. It turns pasted lines into cards by rule, and a gap in the paste is a gap in the deck.
Function beats plot every time it is tested
A question about a scene is a question about what the scene does: what it reveals, complicates or makes irreversible. Retelling what happens in it earns the lowest band because the reader of the essay has read the book. Training yourself to finish the sentence "this scene exists so that" is the fastest single upgrade available in this unit.
Character change is measured between two fixed points
Pick a moment early and a moment late, name what differs, and attribute the difference to pressure the plot applied. That is the whole method. A dynamic character rewards it and a static one rewards its inversion, asking what the refusal to change reveals. Vague growth claims without the two anchor points read as summary wearing a costume.
Conflict is information about values
In a novel, what a character wants collides with what blocks them, and the collision names both. An external obstacle tests commitments; an internal division reveals which value outranks which. Writing about conflict as event misses the second layer, and the second layer is where longer works keep their meaning.
Structure is a sequence of decisions, and each one is questionable
The order a text reveals things in is a chosen structure, and every choice can be interrogated: why this opening, why an interruption here, why does the pivot arrive early. A contrast between two moments, two settings or two tellings of one event is nearly always the intended doorway into a longer work.
The essay wants a defensible claim and a line of reasoning
A defensible claim can be argued against; a summary cannot, which is the quickest test of a thesis. From the claim, each paragraph should advance one reason, carry one piece of quoted evidence, and spend most of its words on commentary linking the two. Evidence without commentary is a quotation collection, and the rubric prices it accordingly.

What does AP Literature Unit 3 cover?
The first longer fiction and drama unit: character development across time, plot structure, conflict and narrative perspective in full length works.
Which novels do I need for this unit?
The course leaves the choice of works open, so revise the novels and plays your class studied. The skills transfer to whichever text the essay lets you choose.
How do I avoid summarising in essays?
Finish the sentence "this scene exists so that" before writing about any moment. If the sentence has no ending, the moment belongs in a different paragraph.
What makes a claim defensible?
Someone could argue the opposite. If a reasonable reader could push back, it is an argument; if agreement is automatic, it is a summary.
How do I revise a whole novel without rereading it?
Build a scene inventory: one line per scene naming what it makes irreversible. Questions built from that list test the book's argument rather than its trivia.
Can I build questions from my own Unit 3 notes?
Yes. Photograph the pages or upload the PDF and the questions stay inside this unit's works rather than sampling the whole course.
