Specimen paper

Your notes, set as an exam.

Paste a lecture, a chapter, a week of slides. Get questions written the way an examiner would write them — with mark allocations, worked answers, and the note about where students usually lose marks.

What it actually produces

Discrete mathematicsMid-degree
2
Recurrence relations[6]

A software release cycle follows this pattern: each month the team fixes bugs from the previous month and introduces new features that create twice as many new bugs. If bₙ denotes bugs at the end of month n, then bₙ = 2bₙ₋₁ + 3 with b₀ = 5. (a) Calculate b₃. (b) Solve the recurrence relation to find a closed form for bₙ.

That is a real, unedited question. We would rather show you one than tell you it works — mark yourself against the worked answer and decide for yourself.

Revision that answers back

Re-reading notes feels productive and mostly isn’t. Being asked a question you can’t answer is what shows you the gap. Drill exists to manufacture that moment on demand, from your own material.

  1. 1Paste what you're revisingLecture notes, a textbook chapter, the text off your slides. Or name a course and let the examiner set a general paper.
  2. 2Set the paperChoose the level, how hard it bites, and the question format. The paper changes accordingly — a postgraduate paper reads nothing like a first-year one.
  3. 3Sit it, then mark yourselfAttempt each question before revealing the worked answer. Tick what you got, flag what you didn't.
  4. 4Re-sit what you missedOne button rebuilds a paper focused only on the topics you flagged, approached from a different angle. That loop is the whole product.

Seven levels, and the paper really changes

Not a label on the same questions. Each level carries its own brief for the examiner, so a board-exam paper sets clinical scenarios with tempting distractors while a Year 11 paper signposts its method.
