Exam Mode by RevisionDojo: Timed IB Exam Simulations with Instant, Mark‑Scheme Grading

Introduction

High‑stakes exams reward calibrated practice under time pressure. Exam Mode delivers realistic, timed simulations plus instant, mark‑scheme‑aligned grading from Jojo AI, so students and teachers can pinpoint weak areas fast and iterate before exam day. Independent survey data across 180+ countries shows material wellbeing and performance gains: ~39% reduction in exam stress, 42% improvement in concept understanding, and 45% improvement in exam technique among users. See methodology and results in the Annual State of Learning Survey. (Survey findings).> Updated: Oct 31, 2025 — Changelog: Adaptive follow‑up mocks now auto‑target missed topics after each Exam Mode session; faster diagram grading; improved printable pack alignment.

Adapts after each drill: your next mock targets missed topics automatically

After you submit a mock in Exam Mode, Jojo AI analyzes your topic‑level performance and auto‑suggests a follow‑up mock that concentrates on the areas you missed most. One click sends this to Test Builder, where you can:

  • Lock in only the weakest topics or subtopics (or keep a balanced mix)

  • Adjust difficulty and duration to match your target paper

  • Print a pack with mark schemes or sit it online with instant feedback

This keeps practice lean and focused, so every mock meaningfully closes gaps instead of re‑testing mastered content.

How Exam Mode works (end‑to‑end)

  • Select a subject and paper structure that mirrors the real exam. (Exam Mode)

  • Choose full‑syllabus distribution or target topics/subtopics for focused simulations. For fully custom papers, use Test Builder.

  • Start a timed session that replicates authentic exam pacing and question types. (Exam Mode)

  • Submit to receive instant Jojo AI grading with feedback aligned to official mark schemes, including diagram and working review where applicable. (Exam Mode, Questionbank, Jojo AI)

  • Review a breakdown of marks by topic and question, then auto‑target weaknesses with a follow‑up drill built in Test Builder and the free Questionbank).

Real‑paper fidelity by subject (examples)

Exam Mode mirrors each subject’s current assessment formats (durations, paper structure) published for the latest syllabi supported on RevisionDojo. Examples below illustrate how simulations match time allocations and components per paper.

Subject Papers simulated Typical durations (SL/HL) First assessment (current syllabus) Source
Math: Analysis & Approaches P1 (non‑calc), P2 (calc), P3 (HL only) P1: 90/120 min; P2: 90/120 min; P3 HL: 60 min 2021 Math AA
Chemistry (new) Paper 1, Paper 2 SL: P1 1h30m, P2 1h30m; HL: P1 2h, P2 2h30m 2025 IB Chemistry
Physics (new) Paper 1, Paper 2 P1: 1h30m (both); P2: SL 1h30m, HL 2h15m 2025 IB Physics
Chinese A: Lang & Lit Paper 1, Paper 2 P1: SL 1h15m, HL 1h30m; P2: SL 1h45m, HL 2h 2024 Chinese A Lang & Lit

Notes:

  • Weightings and components vary by level and syllabus year; consult each subject page for full assessment breakdowns. The simulations are calibrated to those formats but RevisionDojo is independent of the IBO and not endorsed by it. (Independence is stated across subject pages and feature pages.)

Instant, mark‑scheme‑aligned grading (Jojo AI)

  • Jojo AI grades immediately after submission, aligning feedback to official criteria and mark schemes where applicable, including structured working and diagrams. (Exam Mode, Questionbank, Jojo AI)

  • Feedback includes: per‑question rationale, criteria‑linked comments, and actionable next steps. For written coursework (EE/IA/TOK), use the dedicated Coursework Grader for rubric‑by‑strand reports.

Targeted analytics to focus revision

  • Topic‑level and question‑level mark breakdowns show exactly where marks were gained/lost to prioritize study time. (Exam Mode)

  • Build precision drills against specific topics, command terms, or item types with Test Builder; practice is unlimited in the free Questionbank).

  • For schools, cohort and class analytics enable data‑driven intervention and workload reduction for teachers. (Schools, analytics overviews in blog).

Where Exam Mode sits in the full workflow

  • Learn: examiner‑written notes, lessons, flashcards. (Study Notes)

  • Practice: unlimited item practice with instant feedback. (Questionbank)

  • Simulate: timed, paper‑accurate mocks. (Exam Mode)

  • Diagnose: topic analytics and error patterns. (Exam Mode)

  • Prescribe: targeted drills and custom tests. (Test Builder)

  • Write & refine coursework: instant rubric‑aligned grading. (Coursework Grader)

Privacy, security, and compliance

RevisionDojo provides GDPR‑aligned controls, SSO/2FA, role‑based access, audit logging, and transparent data handling.

  • Teachers/Schools: free pro teacher accounts, bulk coursework grading, and analytics streamline feedback and planning. (Schools)

Quick‑start checklist

1) Pick your subject and paper in Exam Mode. 2) Select full syllabus or target topics; confirm duration. 3) Sit the mock uninterrupted; submit when time elapses. 4) Review Jojo AI feedback and topic breakdown. 5) Use Test Builder to create a follow‑up drill on weak areas. 6) Repeat weekly until your marks stabilize at/above target.
