Why Synap for exam prep
Anyone can host questions. Synap turns them into a personalised path to exam readiness.
Every candidate gets a picture of exactly what they know, what’s shaky, and what to practise next — automatically.
Mastery tracking and spaced repetition are modelled on how memory forms and fades — not guesswork.
The same engine that powers high-stakes exam preparation for hundreds of organisations worldwide.
The adaptive mastery engine
Most platforms judge a learner on a single number: percent correct. Synap goes deeper. It tracks mastery for every question, on two dimensions at once — so “mastered” genuinely means ready.
A topic only reaches the top level when a candidate has covered most of its questions and answered them correctly, recently, and on a run. Get one wrong, or leave it too long, and mastery adjusts — just like real memory.
How well they answer — weighted by their streak of correct answers and how recently they last got it right.
How much of a topic they’ve actually attempted — so confidence is earned across the whole subject, not a lucky handful.

Spaced learning
Synap’s spaced-repetition engine resurfaces each question at the optimum moment — just before it would otherwise be forgotten. Answer well and the gap widens; slip and it comes back sooner.
It’s compliance-aware: it notices whether a learner is revising too early or too late against the forgetting curve and adjusts the schedule accordingly, reserving most of each daily quiz for fresh material so learners always keep moving forward.

The exam experience
Candidates don’t just answer questions — they rehearse in the exact interface they’ll face on exam day, with single-best-answer and extended-matching formats and a full toolkit built in.
During the cardiac cycle, the left ventricle contracts and the pressure inside the chamber rises rapidly.
Blood is ejected into the aorta only once ventricular pressure exceeds the pressure in the aorta, forcing the aortic valve open.
Single best answer
During which phase of the cardiac cycle is the aortic valve open?

Analytics
Everyone sees what to do next, and your team sees how the whole cohort — and every question — is performing.
For learners
Learners see their mastery across every topic, how they’re trending over time, and how they compare to the cohort average — so they always know where to focus next.
For your team
Go beyond pass rates. See cohort score distribution, and question-level item difficulty and discrimination — so you can spot weak items and continuously improve your bank.
For organisations
Everything you need to run exam prep as a product — on your brand, on any device, with less admin.
Auto-marking and instant results cut hours of grading, so you can grow without growing your team.
