Syllabus-Aligned Revision

Questions written to match your exam modules, so you can revise efficiently:

  • Focus on the modules you’re being examined on
  • Identify weak areas early and revisit them efficiently
  • Build your revision around assessments, rather than guessing what’s relevant

You can work module by module, choose how many questions you want to answer, and target specific topics as your exams approach.

Flexible Practice Modes

Revise the way that suits you:

  • Practice Mode
    Answer one question at a time with instant feedback and clear explanations. Track your score or hide it to focus on learning.
  • Test Mode
    Complete a full session and review answers at the end, just like an exam. Scores are hidden by default but can be turned on for detailed feedback.

Both modes help you move from recognising content to applying it confidently.

Learn from Mistakes

After each session, see exactly where things went wrong:

  • Breakdown of incorrect questions by module
  • Clear identification of topics to improve
  • Option to increase difficulty as your accuracy improves, so revision stays challenging

You can also ask AI to explain mistakes, add notes, or create flashcards for later revision.

Built for Student Life

Revise anywhere, anytime, even on busy days, with tools designed for student life.

The interactive dashboard helps you stay consistent, even on busy days, with:

  • Daily streaks and progress tracking
  • Quick-fire questions for short study sessions
