Everything about AceUrExam, answered plainly.

AceUrExam (aceurexam.com) is a free web app for exam preparation across the major boards — Cambridge (CAIE), Pearson Edexcel and AQA. It opens on one task already chosen for you, so a study session can start without deciding anything first. It turns real past papers into three things: mock papers, topical packs, and topical questions ranked by difficulty level. Give it a subject code and the topics coming up and it builds a whole practice paper from real past-paper questions with its mark scheme; ask for one topic instead and it returns every question on that topic across years and variants, with official mark scheme answers and an AI solution guide, or the same questions scored 1–10 for difficulty so you can drill at your level. It also writes complete AI revision notes for any topic, for subjects like Mathematics 9709, Physics 9702, Chemistry 9701, Biology 9700 and Edexcel IAL units such as WMA13.

Open AceUrExam and it decides for you. The workspace lands on a Today view that picks one thing out of what you have already started — flashcards you got wrong last time, a topical pack you built but never opened, the topic you scored worst on in a recent mock, or whatever you were working on when you last closed the tab — and gives you a single button to begin it. You can always choose something else, but you do not have to choose anything to start. If you are brand new and there is nothing to pick up yet, it says so plainly and asks you for one topic rather than inventing a recommendation it cannot justify.

The common advice — break it into chunks, set a pomodoro timer, put on background music — assumes the hard part is the studying. Usually it is not: the hard part is the few minutes before, deciding what to open, and that is the moment a phone is designed to win. AceUrExam attacks that specific moment by removing the decision instead of adding a technique. The workspace opens on one task already chosen from your own unfinished work, one click from starting, so there is no blank page and no menu to get lost in. It is not a focus timer or a website blocker; it just makes starting the fastest thing available.

AceUrExam builds past papers by topic on demand. Instead of browsing static archive folders year by year, you pick a subject (such as Cambridge Maths 9709, Physics 9702, or Edexcel IAL Pure Maths WMA13), choose a topic like Integration or Circular Motion, and AceUrExam extracts the matching questions and mark schemes from real papers into a single downloadable topical pack.

AceUrExam supports Cambridge International AS and A-Level syllabi (Mathematics 9709, Physics 9702, Chemistry 9701, Biology 9700 and more, plus IGCSE), Pearson Edexcel IAL units across Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Business (WMA13, WPH11, and the rest), and AQA spec codes like 7357. Coverage spans multiple exam years, sessions, papers, and variants.

Yes. AceUrExam builds a mock paper on demand: you enter your subject code, the paper number, and the topics coming up in your exam, and it assembles a whole practice paper from real past-paper questions on those topics. You get a question paper and its mark scheme as separate PDFs, so you can sit the paper properly and mark it afterwards.

AceUrExam first learns what a real paper for your subject and paper number looks like — which topic tends to open the paper, how the mark tariff grows, where the long multi-part question sits — by reading real past papers of that syllabus. It then extracts genuine questions on the topics you asked for and fits them into those positions. The result is not a shuffled pile of questions: it is ordered the way your syllabus actually orders a paper, and every question in it came from a real exam.

There is a free plan, and it is a real one: sign up at aceurexam.com with no credit card and you get every feature — mock papers, topical packs, mark schemes and AI solution guides — with a small daily build limit, plus unlimited past paper downloads that never count against it. Premium is $5 USD a month and removes the daily limit, so you can generate as much as you want, whenever you want.

A topical past paper pack (often just called "topicals") is a collection of real exam questions on a single topic, gathered from many past papers into one document. AceUrExam generates topical packs for Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and AQA subjects as clean PDFs, with the question paper, the matching mark scheme answers, and an AI solution guide separated for practical revision.

Yes. Every AceUrExam topical pack pairs the extracted questions with the corresponding official mark scheme answers, plus an AI-written solution guide that explains how to earn each mark. Questions and mark schemes export as separate PDFs so you can attempt first and check after.

Yes. Alongside the standard topical pack, AceUrExam can rank every real question it finds on a topic by how hard it actually is. Each question is scored 1–10 by an examiner-style model — one-step recall at the bottom, unfamiliar framing and multi-topic synthesis at the top — and that score is progressively corrected by the students who have actually attempted the question. You choose how many you want and they come back hardest first, with the trap that makes each one hard, so you can practise at the level you need instead of working through routine questions you can already do.

Yes. Every question in an AceUrExam mock paper is a genuine question lifted from a real Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel or AQA past paper, together with its official mark scheme. Nothing is invented by AI — the AI is used to find the right questions, order them like a real paper, and write the solution guide that explains how each mark is earned.

Ordinary archives give you whole papers organized by year, so practising one weak topic means opening dozens of PDFs and a mock on your own topics is impossible. AceUrExam works from the same authentic exam board papers but reorganizes them around you: it assembles topic-specific question and mark scheme packs automatically, and builds whole mock papers on the topics you name, ordered the way real papers of that syllabus are ordered.

No. AceUrExam runs entirely in the browser on desktop and mobile at aceurexam.com. You sign in, and your mock papers and saved topical packs are kept in your personal library.

Go to aceurexam.com, create a free account, then either build a mock paper by entering your subject code, paper number and the topics coming up, or build a topical pack by choosing a subject, topic, year range and paper variant. Your first paper takes about a minute.
