What's coming to ExamFlow: syllabus marketplace, mock exams and more

ExamFlow is a living product. Since we launched the platform, we have not stopped improving existing features and developing new ones based on what you ask for. We believe in transparency, so instead of keeping secrets until launch day, we prefer to tell you what we are building and why.

In this article we briefly review what you can use today and, above all, what is coming in the next few months. And at the end, we ask for something that is very valuable to us: your opinion.

What ExamFlow offers today

Before talking about the future, a quick summary of current features for those who do not yet know the platform.

Intelligent document processing

You upload your study material in any format (PDF, Word, photos of notes) and the system handles the rest. It converts everything to a processable format, extracts text via OCR when needed and automatically detects the topics each document contains. Your material is organised and ready for generating study content.

AI-powered exam generation

From your own documents, ExamFlow generates multiple-choice and written exams on the topics you choose. You can select a specific topic, several, or all of them. The questions are always different, so you can practise without limits and without repeating.

Automatic flashcards

The system extracts key concepts, deadlines, definitions and important data from your material and generates flashcards with integrated spaced repetition. No manual creation needed.

Oral presentation practice

Record your presentation on any topic and receive detailed feedback: content covered, structure, terminology and omitted points. Especially useful for exams with an oral component.

AI grading of written answers

Open-ended exams receive an indicative automatic correction that evaluates content, structure and factual accuracy. With a clear disclaimer that it is an indicative score generated by AI.

Weakness detection

The system analyses your performance over time and identifies your strong and weak points by topic and concept type.

Structure adapted to the education system

Organisation by courses and subjects for university students, and by exam and subjects for civil service candidates. The structure reflects how studies are actually organised.

What is coming: features in development

1. Syllabus marketplace

This is probably the most ambitious new feature and the one you ask for most.

What it is. A space within ExamFlow where users can buy and sell study material: complete syllabuses, outlines, summaries, question collections. Everything organised by exam and subject, with a ratings and reviews system.

Why we are building it. Quality exam material is expensive. An up-to-date syllabus can cost hundreds of euros. At the same time, thousands of candidates who have passed have excellent material gathering dust in a drawer. The marketplace connects both needs.

The marketplace connects candidates who have quality material gathering dust with those who need it, at accessible prices and with quality control.

How the pricing model will work. Creators set the price for their material. ExamFlow takes a commission for the intermediation. But there is a mechanism we find especially interesting: the contribution discount. If a successful candidate contributes their material to the marketplace, they receive a significant discount on their subscription. This creates a virtuous cycle: more quality material available at accessible prices.

Quality control. It will not be an unsupervised free market. All material will go through a review process that includes automatic verification (the AI checks that the content is coherent, complete and free of obvious errors) and a community reporting system. Outdated or low-quality material will be flagged or removed.

Current status. In active development. We expect to have a beta version available in the coming months, initially for the most in-demand exams.

2. Timed mock exams under real exam conditions

What it is. Exams that replicate the real conditions of your exam: number of questions, time limit, answer format, penalty system. Everything configured automatically based on the type of exam you are preparing for.

Timed mock exams replicate the real conditions of your exam: number of questions, time limit, format and penalty system.

Why we are building it. Practising with individual questions is fine for learning. But the experience of a real exam is very different: there is time pressure, fatigue, anxiety and the need to manage strategy (which questions to leave for last, when to take a risk on an uncertain answer, how to distribute time). That can only be trained with realistic mocks.

How it will work. You select your exam and the system configures the mock according to the last sitting's conditions: number of questions, duration, penalty type for incorrect answers, and format. We will also offer mixed mocks (multiple choice + written + practical case) for exams that combine exercises.

When you finish, you will receive a full report: estimated score using the real marking scheme, average time per question, topics where you succeeded and failed, comparison with your previous mocks, and estimated ranking compared to other users preparing for the same exam (anonymously).

Current status. In advanced design phase. Multiple-choice mocks will launch first, followed by written and mixed formats.

3. Advanced statistics and performance prediction

What it is. A much more comprehensive analytics panel than the current one, with detailed visualisations of your progress and, most interestingly, predictions about your expected performance.

Why we are building it. Knowing you are "doing well" is not enough. You need to know exactly how much you have mastered each topic on an objective scale, how that mastery has evolved over time, how much you can realistically improve in the weeks you have left, and where to invest your time to maximise your overall score.

What it will include. The panel will show progress by topic with temporal evolution charts, a heat map of the complete syllabus (green for what you have mastered, amber for intermediate, red for what needs work), score prediction based on your current performance and exam history, prioritised study recommendations (the system tells you what to study today to maximise your improvement), and anonymous comparison with other candidates in the same exam cycle.

On score prediction. We want to be clear: a score prediction is just that -- a prediction. It has a margin of error and depends on many factors we do not control (state of mind on exam day, specific difficulty of the questions, the board's criteria). We will always present it as an indicative estimate, never as a certainty.

Current status. Basic statistics are already available. The advanced features (prediction, heat map, recommendations) are in development.

4. Improved native mobile app

What it is. A significantly improved version of the mobile app with features that better leverage the device's capabilities.

Why we are building it. Many candidates study on the go: on public transport, in a doctor's waiting room, during work breaks. The mobile app should be a first-class experience, not a reduced version of the web.

What will improve. Flashcards will work in offline mode so you can review without a connection. Oral presentation recording will integrate better with the device's microphone, with noise cancellation and real-time transcription. Smart notifications will remind you when it is time to review, based on your personalised spaced repetition algorithm. The interface will be more fluid and adapted to touch interaction on small screens.

Current status. The current native app works but has room for improvement. Updates will be rolled out progressively over the coming months.

5. Advanced gamification

What it is. A motivation system that goes beyond statistics, with elements that incentivise consistency and regular practice.

Why we are building it. Preparing for a major exam is a long-distance race. Many candidates give up not because they lack ability, but because they lose motivation at some point along the way. Gamification, when well implemented, can help maintain the habit.

What it will include. Study streaks will reward daily consistency, not one-off marathons. The system will track consecutive days with at least one study session and set progressive milestones. Achievements will recognise concrete progress: first topic mastered at 100%, first full week of study, first mock passed, and so on. Crucially, these achievements will be tied to real progress, not vanity metrics.

Friendly competitions will let you form study groups with other candidates preparing for the same exam. It is not about competing over who studies the most hours, but about shared goals: the group commits to completing a certain number of sessions per week, and everyone can see the others' progress.

Adaptation by educational level. Gamification will adapt to the user's profile. For younger students it will be more visual and playful. For adult candidates it will be more sober, focused on progress metrics and professional achievements. We do not want a 35-year-old adult to feel patronised by confetti animations.

Current status. In design phase. Study streaks will be implemented first, followed by achievements and competitions.

What we are NOT going to build

What we consciously decide not to build is just as important as what we do.

We are not building a generic chatbot. The market is full of ChatGPT wrappers that let you ask about anything. That is not our thing. Every AI feature in ExamFlow is designed for a specific study use case, with your material as context.

We are not going to over-gamify. We do not want you opening the app to collect points instead of studying. Gamification is a means to incentivise study, not an end in itself.

We are not going to promise we replace a tutor. A good human tutor brings things AI cannot yet replicate. Our goal is to complement, not replace. When the technology allows more, we will implement it. Until then, we will be honest about what we can and cannot do.

Your opinion matters (really)

This roadmap is not set in stone. Priorities change based on what our users tell us they need. If there is a feature you miss or one you think is more urgent than another, we want to know.

You can send us feedback directly from the app (feedback button in the menu) or write to us on social media. We read every message and reply to most.

Some of the features we have already implemented were born directly from user suggestions. Oral practice, for example, was one of the most requested. The marketplace emerged from conversations with candidates who wanted to share their material after passing.

Conclusion

ExamFlow is not a finished product. It is a product that evolves week by week, guided by the real needs of those who use it.

The marketplace, mock exams, advanced statistics, the improved app and gamification are the big bets for the coming months -- but they will not be the last.

If you already use ExamFlow, thank you for trusting us. What is coming will make your study experience even better.

If you have not tried it yet, now is a good time. You can start free for two weeks and be part of a community of students and exam candidates who are changing the way they prepare. And if you find something missing, tell us. It is probably already on our roadmap -- or it should be.
