Study tools that show their working.

Free, interactive tools for students preparing for ESAT, IB, IGCSE and other admissions and school exams. Each one takes a single hard part of an exam — the traps in the multiple choice, the topics that cost the most marks — and lets you work through it instead of just reading about it.

    AI Context Builder

    Build the context an AI model receives from seven buckets of pieces, some sound and some quietly wrong (a slipped decimal, a stretched finding, a chatbot’s invented study), to get Claude to draft a persuasive speech. Choose the model and effort with real prices and context windows, then see the key score, cost and speed against everyone else on the leaderboards. For Grade 10 IGCSE pupils; uses Claude to write the answers.
