GCSE Science questions, generated and marked
cookie generates GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics questions from material you choose, marks the explanation you write against a mark scheme with partial credit, and uses spaced repetition to bring each topic back just before you would forget it. Six-mark explanation questions are the ones worth practising this way, because the marks are in what you said rather than in whether the answer was right.
Decks in the library for this
There are 15 public decks for this, built from published exam-board material. Import one and you get a private copy to practise from and change.

See all 15 decksThe long explanation questions, marked properly
A six-mark question in Biology or Physics is marked on the points you make and the links between them, and there is no way to grade your own attempt honestly against a list of bullet points. cookie marks each point separately and tells you which ones you made, which you implied and which you missed.
The same applies to required practicals and to the calculation questions in Physics and Chemistry, where units and significant figures carry their own marks.
Three subjects, one schedule
Biology, Chemistry and Physics can each be their own deck, and the review schedule looks across all of them, so a week where Chemistry is weak puts more Chemistry in front of you without you having to notice and decide that.
What is strong and what is weak is tracked per topic rather than per subject, which is the level at which revision decisions are actually made.
Common questions
Does it cover combined science and separate sciences?
Both, because the questions follow the source material. A deck built from a combined science paper produces combined science questions.
Can it draw diagrams?
It can include a simple diagram or a plotted graph where a question genuinely needs one, and it prefers not to otherwise, because most science questions are better asked in words.

We run our own tutoring service alongside this. Lessons are live and one-to-one over video and a shared whiteboard, the first 15 minutes with anybody is free, and every tutor and student gets cookie at no extra cost.
