About us

Built to close the gap between knowing and scoring.

Most students who lose marks in IGCSE exams aren't short on knowledge. They're short on understanding what examiners actually want. Examo fixes that.

What you get

Seven tools, one revision loop.

Every feature on Examo is designed around the same idea: show students what earns marks, and give them the practice to apply it.

01

Revision notes written for the mark scheme

Every topic page strips the spec down to what examiners actually reward — the exact phrases, the point structure and the common mistakes, without the filler you get in a textbook.

02

Practice marked like a real examiner

Write answers to exam-style questions and get them assessed point by point. Each mark scheme point is judged individually — awarded, missed, or given benefit of the doubt — with specific feedback on what your wording needed to say.

03

Topic frequency from real past papers

See which topics carry the most marks across every past paper from 2018 to 2024, so you prioritise what the exam actually tests — not what the textbook devotes the most pages to.

04

An AI tutor on every revision page

Highlight any passage in the notes and ask the AI tutor to explain it, link it to related ideas, or show how it appears in past questions — without ever leaving the page you're reading.

05

Original exam questions for every topic

Hundreds of original IGCSE-style questions written to the spec — diagrams, calculations and extended answers across every topic and difficulty — each marked the way an examiner would mark a past paper.

06

Flashcards built for active recall

Every topic comes with a deck drawn straight from the notes. Flip each card, sort it into still-learning or known, and Examo saves your progress so each session picks up where the last left off.

07

A study plan that schedules it all

Add your exam dates and target grades and Examo builds a day-by-day revision timetable — prioritising your highest-frequency and weakest topics, sized to the grade you're aiming for, with a built-in study timer and progress tracking to keep you on track.

How it started

A revision tool born from a frustration.

Examo started with a simple observation: the students who scored highest in IGCSE exams weren't necessarily the ones who knew the most. They were the ones who understood the mark scheme.

Two students could give answers that sounded equally sensible. One would get full marks. The other would get half. The difference was almost never about knowledge. It was about which specific words, in which order, were on the examiner's checklist.

Every existing revision resource we looked at optimised for coverage: big textbooks, endless videos, flashcards for every obscure fact. None of them started from the mark scheme and worked backwards. So we built the one that does.

Why we do, what we do

Your grade shouldn't depend on luck.

In too many schools, exam technique is something you learn from a teacher who happens to be a good examiner, or you don't learn it at all. That shouldn't decide whether a student earns a 7 or a 9.

Examo puts the same insight that the best tutors quietly share with their students into a tool that any student can use, at any hour, without paying hourly for it. Every mark point, every common mistake, every mark scheme phrase, all built into every topic page so the raw material of an expensive tutor is there when you open the site.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Examo?

Most revision resources teach you content. Examo focuses on the mark scheme, the exact language and structure examiners use to award marks. By practising high-frequency topics first (those that appear on almost every past paper), students can add around 15% to their grade in just a few hours of focused practice. It is the fastest route to marks because it targets the questions most likely to appear and trains you to answer them the way examiners expect.

How does the AI marking work?

Your answer is marked by an AI examiner trained on the official IGCSE mark schemes. Unlike simple keyword matching, it understands meaning. It reads your full answer and awards each mark scheme point individually. For every point you miss, it explains exactly what was wrong and how to phrase your answer to earn the mark next time. For borderline answers, we always recommend cross-referencing the mark scheme directly.

Which subjects and exam boards are supported?

Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry (4CH1), Physics (4PH1), and Biology (4BI1), CIE IGCSE Computer Science (0984/0478), and CIE IGCSE Economics (0455) are fully supported, with questions sourced from past papers up to 2024.

Is Examo free to use?

Yes. Examo is free to sign up and use. All topics, practice questions, and automatic marking are available at no cost.

Start with your highest-frequency topic.

One topic. One exam-style question. Marked point by point. That's the whole loop.
