How it works

From diagnostic to exam-ready in three steps

1
Take a diagnostic
A short set across every domain shows exactly where you stand today.
2
Practise by topic or mode
Drill weak areas, run timed mocks, or revise with immediate feedback.
3
Track your readiness
Watch your score climb and know when you're ready to sit.
Adaptive practice

Stop re-reading what you already know

AuroPrep watches how you answer and steers each session toward your weakest topics, resurfacing them right before you'd forget. You spend each hour on what will raise your score, not on what already feels comfortable.

Weak-area sessions serve the topics you score lowest on first, and spaced repetition brings each one back just before it slips. The plan adapts to you instead of running a fixed playlist.
