Dex Study · Test

Turn your notes into a practice paper.

Choose your sources and the question types, sit the paper, then mark it against a model answer and a rubric. The marks you lose are sorted by why you lost them.

Build a practice paper

Updated 9 October 2026

Six question types

  • Multiple choice
  • True or false
  • Short answer
  • Extended answer
  • Put in order
  • Fill the gaps

How a paper works

  1. Choose the materialPick one source or several from your space, and the question types and level you want.
  2. Sit itAnswer on screen, or print the paper and write it out by hand.
  3. Mark itReveal the model answer and the rubric for each question and mark yourself honestly.
  4. Learn from the missesLabel why marks went: a knowledge gap, a misread question, structure, no example, running out of time or a command word. Missed questions can become revision cards.

Grounded in your sources

Each question carries a quote from the passage it was built from, and Study checks the quote against that passage. This keeps the paper tied to your material, but it does not guarantee the question matches the style of your exam. Use it alongside real past papers and your teacher's guidance.
