See it in actionFresh questions every time
Each question is built from a template with new numbers on every attempt. You cannot memorise the answer key, so a right answer means you can actually do it.
Marking you can act on
Choose a wrong option and you see the specific mistake behind it, then the worked steps. No flicking to a mark scheme PDF.
Honest counts
Every topic shows how many questions are actually ready to serve. The number you see is the number you get.
Browse by topic, see your status
The Question Bank lists every Pure 1 topic with a real question count and a rough time estimate. Each topic carries a tag from your own practice: unseen, attempted, got wrong, or mastered. So you can see at a glance where you have not been yet and where you keep slipping.
- Multi-select topics or quick-start from one row
- Real servable question counts per topic
- Status tags built from every practice surface, not just this one
The reveal
Answer, and the reveal is instant. If you picked a wrong option, you see the misconception that option was written to catch, then the step-by-step working. Finish the set and the summary maps which misconceptions came up and hands you a redo deck of fresh questions on the ones you got wrong.
- Why-wrong feedback on the option you chose
- Worked steps after every question
- Redo deck of fresh questions, not the same ones again
How does the Question Bank work?
The Question Bank is the part of ExamPilot where you choose. You pick one or more Cambridge 9709 Pure 1 topics, choose a set of 5, 10, 15 or 20 questions, and practise. Questions are drawn at random from the topics you picked, marked instantly, and summarised at the end with a map of the misconceptions you hit. Nothing here changes your Smart Review schedule. It is practice on demand.
Three steps to a practice session
- 1
Choose your topics
Browse the Pure 1 topic list. Tick one topic to grind it, or several to mix them up. Each row shows how many questions are ready and roughly how long a set will take.
- 2
Choose a set size
Pick 5, 10, 15 or 20 questions. Budget about 75 seconds a question. A 10-question set fits in the gap between two lessons.
- 3
Answer, get the reveal, review the summary
Every question is marked the moment you commit. The summary shows your score, the misconceptions that showed up, and a redo deck built from what you got wrong.
Why fresh questions matter more than a bigger PDF
Topical past paper PDFs are useful right up to the point where you recognise the question. After the second pass, you are recalling the answer, not doing the maths. ExamPilot questions are generated from templates, so the structure stays true to the 9709 Pure 1 syllabus while the numbers change every time. The wrong options are not random either. Each one is written to catch a specific mistake that Cambridge examiners have reported students making, so a wrong answer tells you something useful.
Question Bank in four lines
- You choose the Pure 1 topics and the set size (5 to 20 questions).
- Every question is a fresh instance, so you cannot memorise answers.
- Wrong options are tagged to the misconception they come from, with worked steps after.
- The summary gives you a redo deck of new questions on what you got wrong.
Question Bank compared with a past paper PDF
| Topical past paper PDF | ExamPilot Question Bank | |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | Fixed. Same numbers every time. | Fresh numbers on every attempt. |
| Marking | Check a separate mark scheme yourself. | Instant, the moment you answer. |
| Wrong answers | You see the right answer. | You see the mistake your option was built to catch, then the working. |
| What next | Nothing. Pick another paper. | A redo deck of new questions on the topics you got wrong. |
| Progress | Whatever you wrote in the margin. | Status tags per topic: unseen, attempted, got wrong, mastered. |

Works with Smart Review and Drills
Question Bank is where you choose what to practise. Smart Review is where ExamPilot chooses for you, bringing back topics just before you forget them. Drills take one skill you keep getting wrong and stay on it until you get three right in a row. Everything you do in the Question Bank feeds the topic tags and the suggestions in the other two.
Question Bank: frequently asked questions
No. The Question Bank covers the same Cambridge 9709 Pure 1 topics you would find in a topical past paper pack, but the questions are generated fresh from templates and marked instantly, with feedback on the specific mistake behind a wrong option. You practise in the browser, not from a PDF.
At Closed Beta, Cambridge 9709 Pure Mathematics 1 (Paper 1). Every topic in the Question Bank shows a live count of the questions ready to serve. Other 9709 papers and Edexcel International follow later; we have not set dates.
They are written to the 9709 Pure 1 syllabus in multiple-choice form, and the wrong options are built around mistakes Cambridge examiners have reported in their Paper 1 reports from 2020 to 2024. They are practice questions, not past paper questions, and they are not written or endorsed by Cambridge.
No. Sessions are untimed at Closed Beta. You see a time estimate per set, about 75 seconds a question, so you can plan, but nothing counts down.
No. The Question Bank never changes your review schedule, on purpose, so you can grind a topic without being told to stop. Spaced repetition lives in Smart Review, which is the only part of ExamPilot that schedules what comes back and when.
