Bloom Test
You've studied it. Now prove how deeply you understand it.
Upload something you've studied. Ritsu writes questions that climb from recall to reasoning, then shows where your understanding holds and where it breaks.
Use something you've already studied — or
Same idea, deeper question
Same idea. A very different test of whether you understand it.
Getting one question right tells you that you can handle the idea that way. Now change what the question asks you to do with the same knowledge.
Pick a field you've studied
Sound familiar?
The material can feel clear long before you can use it.
Maybe this is familiar:
- The lecture makes perfect sense while you're watching it.
- The worked solution looks obvious once it's in front of you.
- You recognize every term, but struggle to explain the idea without looking.
- You finish the syllabus, then the unfamiliar question makes you freeze.
- You do more practice, but the same kind of mistake keeps coming back.
Familiarity feels like understanding until the task changes.
The useful question is not only “Do I know this?” It is “What can I actually do with what I know?”
The reframe
Understanding isn't a switch. It has depth.
You can succeed at one layer and fail at the next.
“I understand it” is not one state.
The real question is how far that understanding survives.
The depth profile
A score tells you how many you got right. A depth profile shows where understanding breaks.
Two learners can finish with a similar total score and need completely different next steps. One may not remember the material. Another may remember and explain it — but not yet use it on something new.

Newton's Laws of Motion — Lecture 4
35 of 35 answered · evidence from this attempt
You scored 62/100 across 7 cognitive levels, answering 35 of 35 questions. The per-level breakdown below shows exactly which criteria held up and which need another pass.
Strengths
- Demonstrated: Recall key terms & definitions
- Demonstrated: Recall core facts, figures & named entities
- Demonstrated: Recall structure & sequence of ideas
- Demonstrated: Recognize who / when / where context
Gaps
- Needs work: Choose the right method for the problem
- Needs work: Surface implicit assumptions
- Needs work: Detect patterns & cross-section relations
- Needs work: Justify a judgment against explicit criteria

The full report carries all seven levels · a skipped question reads “not assessed”.
What to study next
- 1
Surface implicit assumptions
Revisit the material behind “Surface implicit assumptions” and retake this level.
- 2
Choose the right method for the problem
Revisit the material behind “Choose the right method for the problem” and retake this level.
- 3
Justify a judgment against explicit criteria
Revisit the material behind “Justify a judgment against explicit criteria” and retake this level.
The useful result isn't just “62 of 100.”
It's knowing what kind of understanding is missing.
Resolution
Seven questions show the shape. Thirty-five show exactly where it breaks.
Quick Depth Check
7 questions
One question at each depth. Enough to reveal the rough shape of your understanding.

Full Depth Test
Up to 35 questions
Five checkpoints at every selected depth, built from your own material. Instead of only “You're weak at Apply”, the report names which Apply checkpoints you met, partly met or missed.

Your 7-question depth check
The example lecture — Newton's laws. One question at each depth, from Remember to Create. Nothing to upload; nothing leaves your browser.
35 questions if all seven levels are selected · some written answers · no timer · the tool's own estimate is about five minutes a level
Short on time? Start with three levels — about 15 minutes by the tool's own estimate — and add the rest on a retake.

“Choose the right method for the problem” is fixable.
“You're bad at applying” isn't.
The framework
Why the questions get deeper.
Six levels from the revised Bloom framework — the way educators tell recalling from understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating — plus one level Ritsu adds between Evaluate and Create: Critical Thinking. Ritsu turns that ladder into questions on your own material.
Proof, not self-report
You don't rate your understanding. You prove it.
Bloom Test does not ask, “How well do you think you know this?” It asks questions built from the material and scores what you actually answer.
Every square is one of the 35 checkpoints. Point at one — or at a guarantee below — and the board will show you what it means.
It measures the gap. It doesn't close it.
- Understand
- Retrieve
- Practice
- Get feedback
- Review
- Master
Bloom Test shows what to train next.
Ritsu gives you the system to train it.
Closing a gap takes more than another explanation or another random set of questions. You need repeated work at the level that is weak: retrieving, solving, getting feedback, revisiting mistakes and coming back before the knowledge fades.
Questions
What people ask before their first test.
A file (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, text, images, slides or a notebook), a YouTube link, a website, or pasted text of at least 200 characters. The test is built from that material only.
One more time
Don't ask “Do I know this?”Test how far your understanding goes.
Use something you've already studied. Ritsu will turn it into a depth test and show where your knowledge stays solid — and where the task becomes deeper than your understanding.
