    What's inside an Exam Mode exam

    Top-reasoning AI

    Powered by the highest-reasoning Gemini Pro model — questions require real understanding, not just lookup.

    Mixed formats

    MCQ, free-response, true/false, or pure AP-style — your choice.

    Real time limit

    5–180 minutes. Auto-submits when time runs out. Double-confirm exit so you can't bail accidentally.

    Mimic teacher style

    Upload a PDF of your teacher's past exam and the AI matches its tone, structure, and difficulty.

    Full results report

    Grade, accuracy, hardest topics, easiest topics, weak topics to study, avg time/question — downloadable as PNG or PDF.

    AI-graded FRQs

    Free-response answers are AI-graded — credit for paraphrase, partial understanding, and equivalents.

    Distraction-free design

    Exam Mode strips the interface down to four things: title, question number, timer, and the question itself. No AI tutor button, no save-on-exit. Just you, the questions, and the clock.
