Check Practice Question Banks Against Exam Weightings — Free
A question bank can look full while the heaviest exam topics sit almost unpractised. Multiply each topic’s marks weighting by the questions you want per mark and see which topics are still short.
The proof surface
Grade calculators work out the score you need on a final paper. This audits the practice material you already hold against the marks each topic carries, topic by topic.
Why the flat version breaks
Counting question banks by chapter, not by marks
A topic worth 18 marks and a topic worth 4 marks are not equally covered by the same number of questions.
Including questions you cannot yet answer
Only count material you can actually attempt under exam conditions, not questions you have read but never tried.
Ignoring the paper’s question style
Multiple-choice volume does not prepare you for long-form questions on the same topic.
How to work the quiz bank ledger
Copy the percentage or marks share each syllabus topic carries in the exam you are sitting. The weights should total roughly 100 across the rows you list.
Count the practice, past-paper and textbook questions you can actually attempt today for that topic — not the questions you plan to write later.
Three questions per mark is a common revision buffer: a 12-mark topic then wants about 36 questions before it is comfortably covered. Change the setting to match your own revision rule.
Rows return a surplus or a shortfall; the summary reports the tightest row. In the sample, Genetics at 18 marks wants 54 questions and holds 30, a 24-question shortfall — write those before topping up a topic already in surplus.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Bank-coverage arithmetic from weightings and question counts you enter. Not exam-board guidance and not a prediction of your grade; confirm the paper structure and weightings with your syllabus or tutor before you rely on them.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the quiz bank ledger: your syllabus topic | marks weight percent | practice questions in bank stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.

What this is built on
- Method: Three questions per mark is a common revision buffer: a 12-mark topic then wants about 36 questions before it is comfortably covered. Change the setting to match your own revision rule.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: A topic worth 18 marks and a topic worth 4 marks are not equally covered by the same number of questions. After: the quiz bank ledger shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this quiz bank ledger, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a quiz bank ledger. Return plain rows only: syllabus topic | marks weight percent | practice questions in bank. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: syllabus topic | marks weight percent | practice questions in bank. No AI response is executed as code.
