Turn past papers into new practice exams
When you have sat every past paper your course provides, ExamTeX generates fresh ones: upload a past paper, and the AI produces a new exam in the same style — same topic coverage, same question formats, new questions — compiled to a printable, typeset PDF with an answer key. Past papers are the best predictor of what your exam will look like; this multiplies them.
How it works
1. Upload a past paper
A PDF of any previous exam from your course. Add lecture notes too if you want broader topic coverage.
2. The AI matches the style
Question formats, topic distribution, and difficulty are inferred from the paper you uploaded — the new exam asks different questions in the same shape.
3. Sit it under exam conditions
Print the typeset PDF, set the same time limit as the real exam, and self-grade with the answer key.
What to know
Sit the real past papers first
Honest advice: genuine past papers are the gold standard, and you should exhaust them before generating new ones. Generated exams solve the problem of running out — or of having only one or two papers available.
Fresh questions, familiar format
Re-sitting the same past paper twice tests your memory of that paper, not the material. A generated variant keeps the format pressure while forcing real retrieval.
Target the weak topics
Add instructions when generating — for example, weight more questions toward hypothesis testing or consumer theory — and the new exam concentrates where you need the practice.
Answer keys included
Every generated exam comes with a solutions section, so the sit-grade-review loop closes the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI really generate an exam from a past paper?
Yes. The AI reads the uploaded paper, infers its structure — question types, topic coverage, mark allocation, difficulty — and generates new questions in that style. The output is a printable typeset exam with an answer key, which you should review in the editor before sitting.
Will the generated questions appear on my real exam?
No tool can predict your actual exam questions, and you should be skeptical of any that claims to. What past-paper-style practice trains is format familiarity, time management, and retrieval under pressure — the skills that transfer regardless of which specific questions appear.
What if I only have one past paper?
One paper is enough to establish the style. Upload it together with your lecture notes: the paper sets the format, the notes broaden the content the questions can draw from.
Does it work for math-heavy exams?
Yes — exams compile through LaTeX, so calculus, statistics, econometrics, and physics papers print with real notation: integrals, matrices, regression output, and Greek symbols render the way the original paper does.
