Exam Prep with Curated Question Banks: The Preparation+ Guide
When the goal isn’t reviewing your class syllabus but passing a specific standardized test, generating questions from your own notes can fall short. Preparation+ is CraftQuestAI’s package with curated, official question banks to prepare with material aligned to the real exam — a separate purchase not included in the Pro or Tutor plans.
In this guide we explain what it is, who it’s for, and how to combine it with AI generation from the rest of the platform.
What is Preparation+?
The short answer: an additional CraftQuestAI product that offers pre-built practice exams for specific tests, crafted or selected with a quality bar, unlike the questions AI generates on the fly from your PDF.
While the AI exam generator from PDF is ideal for this term’s biology unit, Preparation+ is designed for situations like:
- College entrance exams by subject.
- Civil service exams with a known syllabus and question format.
- Professional certifications with a defined exam format.
- Admission tests with public or semi-official question banks.
Preparation+ vs. AI generation
| Aspect | AI generation (standard plans) | Preparation+ |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Your PDF, Word, or Excel | Curated bank for a specific exam |
| Customization to class syllabus | High | Low (follows the official exam’s syllabus) |
| Included in Pro/Tutor | Yes (with AI limits) | No, separate purchase |
| Explanations on answers | Yes | Yes |
| Offline mode | Yes (mobile app) | Depends on the package |

Who is it designed for?
Students in an official exam year
Anyone retaking the same state or regional exam benefits from a stable bank, with questions that mirror the difficulty and style of the original.
Civil service exam candidates
The sheer volume of syllabus material makes relying only on your own PDFs impractical. A curated bank saves time on selecting and filtering material.
Teachers preparing a group
A teacher can recommend Preparation+ as complementary material for students taking an external test, without mixing it with the school’s internal assessment.
Parents supporting exam prep
If your child is taking a specific test, a curated package reduces the uncertainty of “will this be on the exam?”
How to make the most of curated banks
1. Choose the right package
Each package corresponds to a specific test or subject block. Before buying, confirm the exam session, subject, and syllabus edition. Detailed guide: how to choose your prep package.
2. Combine with timed mock exams
Take full exams in real time. Afterward, review explanations, not just the score.
3. Log mistakes by topic
Even if the bank is “official,” your weak spots are personal. Note recurring areas and reinforce with AI generation from your own material on those topics (standard plans).
4. Use offline mode in the app
Download mock exams to practice on the go without depending on a network.
What not to expect from Preparation+
- It’s not a guarantee of passing. It’s still practice; the result depends on your own study.
- It doesn’t replace the official syllabus. You should cross-check it against the current exam session.
- It’s not included in the monthly subscription. It’s an additional payment, like buying a specialized test-prep book.
How it fits with the rest of CraftQuestAI
The full platform includes:
- AI generation from PDF/Word/Excel (CQIF).
- Various question types with justification.
- Tools for teachers (classes, assignment, distractor analytics).
- Web and mobile app, guest mode, payments via PayPal and IAP.
Preparation+ adds to that ecosystem when you need depth on a specific exam, not when you just want to review chapter 3 of history.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Preparation+ without a paid plan?
Preparation+ is independent of the Pro/Tutor plans, but you need the app to access the content. Check the current terms on the product page.
Are the questions updated?
Curated banks are maintained as exam sessions change; check the package’s update date before buying.
Can a teacher buy licenses for their class?
Check institutional options on the teachers page or with support; bulk assignment may vary by product.
Does the AI generate more questions in the same style?
AI generation from PDF is a complement, not a duplicate of the curated bank. It’s useful for reinforcing weak topics with your own material.
