Frequently asked questions

What is cookie?

cookie is an AI-powered spaced-repetition platform. Paste in your own notes or past-paper material and it generates full, exam-style questions, marks your answers like an examiner would, and schedules when you see each question again based on how well you actually knew it — so you spend your time on what you haven't mastered yet, not on what you already know.

How does spaced repetition work?

Instead of revising everything on a fixed schedule, cookie tracks how well you answer each question and brings it back right around the point you'd otherwise start to forget it — sooner if you got it wrong or found it hard, later if you nailed it. The result is more time spent at the edge of what you're still learning, and less time wasted re-practising things you already know.

What exam boards and exam types does cookie support?

Any exam board or exam type your source material covers — you supply the notes or past papers, and cookie generates matching questions for it. The platform already has hundreds of ready-made public decks spanning GCSE, A-Level, IB, AP, Scottish Highers, and many other UK and international boards and entrance exams.

Is cookie free?

Yes — cookie has a free tier with a daily and monthly question-generation allowance, and a Pro plan for higher usage. You can start using it without paying anything.

How is cookie different from a flashcard app?

A flashcard app shows you a card someone already wrote. cookie generates full, original, multi-part exam-style questions from your own material and marks your actual written answer like a real examiner — partial credit, a native exam-style score, and worked solutions included — rather than a simple right/wrong flip.

Does cookie mark answers like a real examiner?

Yes — cookie marks your answer against a mark scheme it generates alongside the question, giving partial credit the same way a real exam would, plus a worked solution and feedback on what to improve.
