Practice packs, written by us.
Ran out of past papers? Each pack is 30 new exam-style questions in your board’s style, easy to super hard, with a mark scheme as thorough as the real one.
- Every answer checked twice. Each numerical answer in the mark schemes was re-checked, not just worked out and trusted. Each pack says how, on its page.
- Mark schemes like the real ones. M1, A1 and B1 marks, what to allow, error carried forward, and a note on the slip most students make.
- Easy to super hard. Each section climbs from a warm-up to three stretch-and-challenge questions, like the end of a real paper.

An intelligent notebook
Handwrite it. Plumi marks it.
Every question comes with its own mark scheme. The ticks land on your working, line by line, the way an examiner would mark it.
5/6
1 A ball is projected from a point O on horizontal ground with velocity (7i + 19.6j) m s−1. It passes through the point P, 21 m horizontally from O.
(a)Find the speed and the angle of projection above the horizontal.(3)
u = √(7² + 19.6²) = 20.8 m s⁻¹ M1A1
θ = tan⁻¹(7 ÷ 19.6) = 19.7° ✗ A0
PlumiA0(b)Show that P is 14.7 m above the ground.(3)
t = 21 ÷ 7 = 3 s M1
y = 19.6(3) − 4.9(3)² M1
y = 58.8 − 44.1 = 14.7 m A1
01 · Write
Answer under the question
With Apple Pencil, like on paper. If a misread could cost you a mark, Plumi asks before it marks.

Each mark sits on the line that won or lost it. Open the mark scheme beside your answer.
03 · Fix
Fix the slip, mark it again

Questions
Do I need an iPad for the question bank and past papers?
No. The question bank and past papers on this website are free, need no account, and work on any phone, laptop or tablet. The Plumi app, which marks your handwritten answers, is for iPad.
Isn’t this just ChatGPT?
Plumi uses AI too. It writes each question with its own mark scheme, then marks your answer against that scheme. Each mark you get or lose points to a line in it, and you can open the scheme beside your answer. Where the scheme gives a number, Plumi checks yours by arithmetic. A chatbot only has a mark scheme if you find one and paste it in.
Can it read my handwriting?
You write with Apple Pencil like you would on paper. If Plumi might have misread a line that would cost you a mark, it shows you its reading and asks "Is this what you wrote?" before the marks go on. If it still isn’t sure about a mark, it holds it, labelled "Plumi isn’t sure", and keeps it off your topic map until you’ve checked it.
What if I think Plumi got a mark wrong?
Tap "I disagree" on any mark you didn’t get in full. You’ll see the scheme’s line for that mark, the line you wrote and Plumi’s reason. Tap "Check again" and Plumi looks again, then either corrects the mark or keeps it and tells you why. If you’re still sure, you can give yourself the mark, and it’s labelled self-marked, never counted as Plumi’s.
Which exam boards and subjects does Plumi cover?
AQA, OCR and Edexcel, for GCSE and A‑Level Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Biology. Pick your board and its topics become the squares on your topic map.
Are these real past paper questions?
On this website, yes. The question bank is cut from AQA’s and Edexcel’s own published papers, each part with its mark scheme, and the past paper library has the whole papers. In the app, Plumi also writes new questions in your board’s style, each with its own mark scheme, and the Papers tab links to your board’s A‑Level past papers and grade boundaries. Plumi isn’t affiliated with any exam board.
Is it on iPhone or Android?
No. Plumi is built for iPad, because exams are handwritten. It needs iPadOS 17 or later.
Is my work private?
Your notes, drawings, PDFs, marks and progress are stored on your iPad. You don’t need an account, and if you make one you can delete it in Settings. Plumi asks your permission once, before any of your work goes to AI, and then sends only the part of the page it needs. Nothing you upload or write is used to train any AI model. There are no ads in the app, and your work is never sold.
