About

The Angry Examiner

GET QUIZZED, ROASTED AND SMARTER. Study for your exams while an angry AI roasts you and explains everything like you're an idiot. The Angry Examiner writes original exam-style questions for the exact exam you're taking, marks your answers, and explains what you got wrong in plain English. Then it insults you slightly, because that's the part you remember. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your exam: GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, SAT, AP, university or school. Or upload your syllabus and it builds one for you. 2. Rate your confidence on each topic. Lie if you want. It finds out fast. 3. Clear missions. Short question sets, aimed straight at your weak spots. 4. Get marked, get explained, get roasted. EXAMS IT COVERS • GCSE: AQA and Edexcel UK • IGCSE: Cambridge International • A-Levels: AQA and Edexcel UK • SAT • AP exams • University exams: any course, any module • School exams: any subject, from Year 9 biology to a mechanics final You don't need an exam board. Upload your syllabus, notes or slides and the Examiner builds a mission campaign for any class exam. If your board isn't listed yet, there's a button to say so, and the ones people ask for most get built first. NOT A STUDY APP. A BOSS FIGHT. Every topic is a level to clear. Difficulty ramps from Rookie warm-ups to a final Boss Exam covering everything, so the real paper feels like a rematch you already won. XP, streaks and ranks turn "I should revise" into "one more mission". WHAT YOU GET • Original questions matched to your board's real style, format and difficulty, inspired by the real thing and never copied from a paper. • Wrong answers torn apart, then rebuilt in plain English with a jab you won't forget. A dry mark scheme slides off your brain. A roast doesn't. • Upload past papers and it matches how your examiners actually write. • Type your answer, or photograph your handwritten working and have it marked. • A study plan built around your exam date, not a generic calendar. • A performance dashboard showing which topics are quietly ruining you. • Emergency Plan strips the syllabus down to what still scores when you've left it far too late. FREE, AND NOT FREE Start Cooked, for free. One active exam, its first three missions, full questions and full explanations. Nothing is dumbed down. Upgrade when three missions and one exam stop being enough punishment. Paid plans add more exams, every mission unlocked, redoing the ones you got wrong, photo marking of handwritten work, angry voice narration, and the performance dashboard. Prices are on the subscription screen in the app. THE SMALL PRINT You'll need an account and an internet connection. You must be 13 or over, and under 18s need a parent or guardian's permission. Subscriptions renew until you cancel, which you do in your App Store account settings. Now stop reading the store listing and go do a mission.
