What is Prep?

Prep uses constrained AI to generate exam-style questions, revision notes, worked examples, and full practice exams all tailored to specific exam systems and syllabuses.

Unlike general AI tools, Prep doesn't hallucinate or go off-topic. Every interaction is locked to the student's selected syllabus, ensuring accuracy and relevance.

How it works

1. Pick your exam system → NCEA, GCSE, AP, etc.
2. Pick your subject → Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, etc.
3. Pick your topic → Quadratic Equations, Cell Structure, etc.
4. Pick what you need → Learn, Practice Quiz, or Full Exam
5. Start revising → Accurate, exam-style content in seconds

Core Features

• Learn Mode — Concept explanations, worked examples, simplified breakdowns, exam-specific tips
• Practice Mode — Quick quizzes, topic tests, mixed difficulty questions
• Exam Mode — Full timed practice exams that mirror real exam structure, mark allocations, and question types
• Progress Tracking — Readiness scores, weak topic identification, improvement over time

Content Architecture

Prep's accuracy comes from constrained AI — the model only generates content from verified syllabus material.

Exam System (e.g. NCEA)
  └── Level (e.g. Level 2)
       └── Subject (e.g. Mathematics)
            └── Standard (e.g. AS91261 - Algebra)
                 └── Topics
                      ├── Algebraic Expressions
                      ├── Exponents
                      ├── Quadratic Roots
                      ├── Exponential Equations & Logs
                      └── Linear & Quadratic Equations

Each topic contains:

• Syllabus content — Learning objectives extracted from official specifications
• Exam blueprint — Question structure, mark allocations, achievement levels
• Prompt templates — Pre-tested prompts for each question type and learning mode
