Our verdict
Study and Learn uses a Microsoft education account to study documents through questions and citations at no extra charge. It is not a family purchase: it requires age 13+ and Microsoft 365 Education.
Best for: Learners whose institution already provides Microsoft 365 Education.
What the internet says
Study and Learn turns a learner's own materials into guided conversation, flashcards and exercises inside Microsoft 365 Education, with tenant privacy controls. It is not an open consumer app: it requires an education account, Copilot Chat enabled and a minimum age of 13.
What the web repeats in favour
- Works with a learner's own PDFs, slides and documents and generates active practice
What the web repeats against
- Only available to Microsoft 365 Education users aged 13 or older, with launch optimisation focused on US English
Pros / Cons

The learning test, not the answer test
- Use a topic the learner does not yet master and ask it not to reveal the answer.
- Check whether it asks questions, detects the error and changes explanation when the learner is stuck.
- Finish with a new problem: if only the original example worked, learning did not transfer.
