At NSEMM, innovation comes from the people who know education best – our students. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our game-changing AI-powered exam question generator at hub.nsemm.org.uk/exam-generator, designed by students, for students, to make tutoring sessions more effective and exam preparation more targeted.
Built by Students Who Get It
Unlike corporate EdTech solutions, our exam question generator was created entirely by NSEMM students who understand firsthand the challenges of exam preparation. They’ve experienced countless hours of revision, know what types of questions trip students up, and understand exactly what makes a good practice question.
This isn’t just another AI tool – it’s a student-led solution to real problems they face every day.
How It Works (It’s Really Simple)
Our generator takes the guesswork out of creating practice questions. Here’s how it works:
1. Choose Your Level Pick between GCSE and A-Level to get questions that match your exam standard.
2. Enter Your Subject Type in any subject – Biology, Maths, History, you name it.
3. Specify Your Topic Get specific with topics like “Photosynthesis” or “Trigonometry” for focused practice.
4. Set Your Preferences
- Number of questions (1-10)
- Mark values (like “2, 4, 6” for different question types)
5. Generate and Practice Hit the button and get exam-style questions ready to tackle immediately.
Revolutionising NSEMM Tutoring Sessions
This tool is already transforming how our tutoring sessions work, making them more targeted and effective:
Before the Session
Targeted Preparation: Tutors can generate specific questions on topics students are struggling with, creating personalised practice materials for each session.
Quick Assessment: Generate a few questions to test understanding before diving into new content, helping tutors identify knowledge gaps instantly.
During the Session
Live Practice: When a student grasps a concept, tutors can immediately generate questions to reinforce learning while the topic is fresh.
Exam Simulation: Create realistic exam conditions by generating questions with appropriate mark schemes and time pressures.
Differentiated Learning: Adjust question difficulty on the fly – start with 1-mark questions for confidence building, then progress to challenging 6-mark extended responses.
After the Session
Homework That Actually Helps: Generate follow-up questions that specifically target what was covered in the session, ensuring students practice exactly what they need.
Progress Tracking: Use consistent question types to monitor improvement over time and identify areas needing more attention.
Real Student Success Stories
Since our beta launch, NSEMM students have been using the generator in creative ways:
- Last-Minute Revision: “I generated 20 questions on enzyme kinetics the night before my Biology exam. It was exactly what I needed to feel confident.” – Sarah, A-Level Biology student
- Weak Topic Practice: “I kept getting probability questions wrong, so I generated loads of them until I finally got it. Game changer!” – Marcus, GCSE Maths student
- Tutor Collaboration: “My tutor uses it to create personalised homework for me. Way better than generic textbook questions.” – Aisha, A-Level Chemistry student
The Technology Behind It
Our AI has been trained on thousands of real exam questions and mark schemes. It understands:
- How different subjects structure their questions
- What makes a good 1-mark versus 6-mark question
- The language and style of different exam boards
- How to create questions that actually test understanding, not just memory
Why It Works So Well for Tutoring
Personalised Content: Every student’s needs are different. Our generator creates questions tailored to individual topics and difficulty levels.
Immediate Feedback Loop: Tutors can see immediately if a student understands a concept by generating and testing with relevant questions.
Unlimited Practice: No more running out of good practice questions. Generate as many as needed for complete mastery.
Exam-Realistic: Questions match the style and format students will see in their actual exams.
Free and Instant
The generator is completely free to use at hub.nsemm.org.uk/exam-generator. No sign-up, no barriers – just instant access to unlimited exam questions.
Student-Led Innovation
What makes us proudest is that this tool represents genuine student innovation. Our developers didn’t just build what they thought students needed, they built what they knew students needed because they are students.
This is education technology that actually serves education, created by the people who understand the challenges best. It’s not about replacing teachers or tutors – it’s about giving them better tools to help students succeed.
The future of exam preparation is here, and it’s been built by the students who need it most.
