As students across EMEA prepare for exam season, we're sharing tips and tools for them and their parents to feel more confident and prepared.

For millions of students in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, a familiar hum is filling libraries and kitchen tables: exam season is here. Whether you’re a university student tackling a thesis or a student prepping for your first big finals, we understand the hard work it takes to pull everything together for that last stretch.

At Google, we’re committed to helping students—and the parents supporting them—navigate school with focus and confidence. Our tools are built responsibly to ensure digital learning is effective, safe and age-appropriate. Here are five ways Google and YouTube are helping you finish the school year strong.

Stop managing endless tabs for every project or final. Notebooks in Gemini turn your handpicked sources into a study command center that remembers your progress and picks up exactly where you left off. You can create a dedicated notebook, then upload it all: lecture PDFs, photos of whiteboards, class notes and even past chat history from this semester. Notebooks in Gemini are currently available to all users who are 18+ with personal Google accounts.

Once you upload your files, let Gemini do the heavy lifting. Gemini can distill hundreds of pages of raw notes into a logical, structured study guide or interactive quiz. There’s no need to waste time on what you already know: Tell Gemini to bypass the basics and dive deep into the most complex topics.

Upload your document, then try this prompt: Create a study guide based on my course materials for my exams .

  1. Figure out what you still need to learn

Stress-test your knowledge by asking Gemini to create a custom practice quiz using your course materials. You can also use Gemini Live to explain a concept out loud and ask it to spot any gaps in your logic. Gemini can ask follow-up questions to test your knowledge and clarify any confusion, just like a study partner who’s already tackled the coursework.
