Built for AQA Business 7132

Revision that
marks you back.

Most revision apps hand you flashcards and hope. Speclab quizzes you like a teacher would, marks your past-paper answers AO by AO, and quietly keeps a list of everything you got wrong — then brings it back before you forget it.

Question 3 of 5 A plc's gearing has risen from 32% to 61% in two years. Before you judge whether that's a problem — what would you need to know about the business first?
ET
Whether the borrowing funded assets that generate a return, and whether operating profit still comfortably covers the interest.
S
Good — that's the interest-cover point most students miss. Now try it as a 9-marker: "Analyse the impact of a rising gearing ratio on a plc's stakeholders."
ET
Higher gearing means more of the operating profit is committed to interest payments, so shareholders face a squeeze on dividends and…

Three things, done properly.

Not a note-taking app with an AI button bolted on. Every part of it exists to close the same loop: attempt it, find out you're wrong, understand why, get asked again later.

An AI tutor that asks, instead of tells

Pick a subtopic and it starts questioning you — MCQ or open response, one question or twenty, your call. It won't hand you the answer when you stall; it narrows it down until you get there yourself. Unlimited, on every plan.

You said Kaizen is "small changes". What makes it different from just cutting costs?
ET
It's continuous, and it comes from the workers rather than management.

That's the AO1 nailed. Now give me one drawback for a firm in a fast-moving market.

Marking with the real assessment objectives

Write a 9- or 25-marker, hit Submit for marking, and get a mark with an AO-by-AO breakdown — where you scored, where you didn't, and the exact sentence that would have earned the next band. No vague "good effort, try adding more detail".

A mistake log you can't quietly ignore

Everything you get wrong gets logged with the subtopic and a retest date. Overdue items surface on your dashboard and get folded straight into your next session — so weak topics come back to you instead of waiting to ambush you in the mock.

Mapped to the spec, subtopic by subtopic

Built around AQA Business 7132 — every topic from 3.1 to 3.10, mapped down to the real subtopic level, not a generic "business studies" content pile. You always know your coverage, and which subtopics you've never once been tested on.

How a session actually goes.

About twenty minutes, start to finish. No setup, no importing notes.

STEP 01

Pick a subtopic

Or don't — the dashboard already picked one, based on what you scored badly on last week and what's due for retest today.

STEP 02

Revise by being questioned

Chat through it. When a past-paper-style question comes up and you want it graded properly, hit Submit for marking — the feedback appears inline, without losing the thread.

STEP 03

Your weak spots get scheduled

Mistakes go to the log with a retest date. Tag how confident you feel, and the next session is built around whatever you're shakiest on.

Free does the revising. Premium does the marking.

Chat tutoring, the mistake log, and marking on short questions are unlimited and free, forever — that's the part that finds your weak areas. Full exam-style marking is the expensive bit to run, so it's rationed on Free and unlimited on Premium.
