About

Kraemon

Features

Three steps. One revision plan. Kraemon does the planning — you just do the revision. 1 Pick your subjects Choose every GCSE subject you're sitting. Kraemon maps them to your actual exam board spec — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, or CCEA — and imports every topic automatically. 2 Study for 20–40 minutes Kraemon builds a daily topic playlist. After each topic, you rate your recall — very little, the main points, or all of it. That one honest tap is all the data the algorithm needs to schedule your next review. 3 Watch your coverage grow The syllabus coverage screen shows exactly which topics are mastered, which need work, and which haven't been touched. As exams approach, focus automatically shifts to what matters most.
