Before you start: this tool reads your dashboard selection — Step 1 Curriculum, Step 2 Subject, Step 3 Chapter, Step 4 Topic. Choose all four on the Dashboard first. With nothing selected the screen has nothing to filter by and stays empty.

Past Paper · AI Solves

Open it from Dashboard → Step 4 · Ready to Ace it? → Past Paper · AI Solves.

This side of the tool is for watching ASAI work the paper: you give it a question, it walks through the solution using the mark scheme. Switch to Past Paper · You Try when you want to attempt the question yourself first.

The paper list

You land on the list of papers available for your subject, not straight into a paper. Each row is one paper — year, session and paper number, e.g. 2023 May/June · Paper 1 — with Open to load it.

The paper screen

Open loads the real Cambridge PDF, page by page, with:

• A breadcrumb across the top — IGCSE › Biology › May/June › 2023 › Paper 1.
• ‹ › page arrows and a page counter (1 / 16) so you can reach any question.
• Original, which shows the paper as printed.
• The mode toggle — ✨ AI Solves (highlighted amber) and 📝 You Try (green).

The PDF is the exam paper itself, unmodified — you are reading the same document you would sit.

Switching sides swaps the assistant panel's content in place: the panel stays open and the paper keeps your place, so you can flip between watching a solution and attempting one without reloading the page.

The assistant panel

The panel on the right is headed ✨ AI Solves once a paper is open, with the line:

✨ AI Solves — I'll work through questions step by step

Before you open a paper it reads Paper Assistant and says "Open a past paper first, then ask me to help with any question."

The empty panel offers three starting chips:

• Solve Question 1
• Solve Question 2
• Explain Q3

Clicking one drops that text into the input; it does not send on its own. The input reads Ask about any question…, and answers come back as formatted working — numbered steps, mark-scheme wording, and LaTeX-style maths set out properly.

What it is good for

• Seeing how marks are earned — the explanation follows the mark scheme rather than just producing a final answer.
• Unfamiliar question styles — ask it to explain a question before you have tried it.
• Checking your own working after the fact.

If you are revising rather than reviewing, You Try is the better starting point — this mode will simply hand you the answer.

If it looks empty

The list is loaded per subject. If no papers appear, your subject has none loaded yet — that is a gap in the paper library, not a loading delay.
