About

Heptavo

Read full description

Heptavo is exam practice for the IB Diploma, built the way the papers are built: 17,000 original questions across seven courses, every one written to a syllabus line, with a full mark scheme. SKILL MODES Heptavo trains more than recall. Every sub-topic has skill modes built from how IB answers are marked: match the precise terms an examiner rewards, name the concept a case or study shows, fix a statement that is almost right, decode a question's command term and key words, spot what a weak answer is missing, build your own answer step by step against a model, and plan an extended response against the clock. It all works offline, and what you write in a skill mode never leaves your device. SEVEN COURSES, SL AND HL Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics: analysis and approaches, Mathematics: applications and interpretation, Psychology, Environmental systems and societies, and Global Politics. Pick the classes you take and the level you sit, and the app shows you only what you can be examined on. THE LEARN LADDER Every sub-topic runs five rungs: recall, understanding, application, data handling, exam level. Rungs 1โ€“3 are free in every course, up to 30 questions a day. EXAM PRACTICE WITH MARK SCHEMES Questions written to exam standard from the syllabus outcomes. Mark yourself against the scheme and see exactly where the marks go. 3,500 FIGURES Graphs, tables, diagrams and data sets are drawn by the app, not scanned โ€” they follow your text size and work in dark mode. INSIGHTS AND STUDY PLANS Insights reads every answer you have given and ranks the sub-topics that are costing you marks. A study plan puts a whole course in order โ€” syllabus, build-up, or weakest first โ€” and works through it a sub-topic at a time. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no tracking. The whole bank ships inside the app and works with no signal at all. Your progress can sync between your iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud. FREE AND PRO Free: all seven courses, rungs 1โ€“3 of every sub-topic (up to 30 questions a day), three skill modes, study sets, progress and stats. Heptavo Pro adds rungs 4โ€“5, exam practice, the four exam-skill modes, Insights, study plans, the exam-paper style and no daily limit. Monthly, yearly (with a free first week), or the one-time Exam Pass. One purchase covers every class you take. Heptavo is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the International Baccalaureate Organization.
