1. Split the topics
Give each person one or two topics from the syllabus. Their job before the session is to write five to ten questions on their topics, with the answers and a one-line explanation. Writing questions for others is revision in itself: you have to understand a topic to ask a good question about it.
2. Put the questions in one place
Collect everyone's questions into one test. With the practice test maker, one person adds them to a question bank, checks for mistakes and builds a test. The AI question generator can fill gaps for topics nobody covered; check its drafts before you use them.
3. Run it as a live quiz
When you meet, show the questions on a laptop or TV and run a live quiz. Everyone joins on their phone with a 6-digit code, answers at the same time and sees a leaderboard after each question. Our guide on running a live quiz covers timing and setup.
4. Pause on the wrong answers
The most useful moment is just after an answer is revealed. When many people chose the same wrong option, stop and let the person who wrote the question explain it. That misunderstanding is probably common, and the exam may test it.
5. Share the test for homework
After the session, share the same test as a link so everyone can retake it alone, without an account. Retake it a few days later to see what stuck.
Ground rules that help
- Keep sessions short, about an hour, with a clear list of topics.
- Every question needs an answer that someone has checked against the notes.
- Keep it friendly. The leaderboard is for fun, and the mistakes are the useful part.
