Interview

Ara started out on BookTok, sharing her favorite reads — but over time, her content expanded to daily routines, academic life, and everything in between. With a demanding degree and a memory-stretching workload (including 200+ medications to memorize for pharmacology), she needed more than motivation — she needed a smart way to practice.

When did you decide to share your study journey on social media?

It all began with books — I was really into BookTok and started creating content around that. A year later, I felt the urge to expand and share more: my university life, my studies, my daily routine. I wanted to go beyond books and connect through the challenges of student life too.

What’s the most difficult part of your degree?

Without a doubt, it’s dealing with super specific, detailed concepts — especially when memory is key. Most of my exams are multiple-choice, which makes it even harder if you don’t remember things precisely. That’s why I rely heavily on practicing with test models and sample questions.

How did you come across Dende?

I found it on TikTok, about three months ago — and I was instantly curious to try it. It looked like exactly what I needed to complement my way of studying.

What’s your typical way of using Dende?

I usually study the content of a subject first, then I upload the PDF to Dende. It automatically generates tons of questions for me to practice. Since I already use multiple-choice questions to prepare, Dende fits perfectly into my method — and saves me hours of work.




Can you share a moment when Dende really made a difference?

Definitely my pharmacology exam. I had 51 topics and over 200 medications to learn — the volume was intense. But once I uploaded everything to Dende, I could just focus on practicing. It helped me retain the material faster and feel way more prepared for tricky questions.

What’s your message to someone who’s never used Dende?

It’s fast, practical, and genuinely useful. You’ll save so much time and your studying will become more focused and high-quality. What makes Dende so valuable is that it works with your own notes — everything is personalized, and that makes a big difference.
