Why Use Custom Exams?

Custom exams let you take control of your learning. Instead of following a rigid syllabus or relying on generic practice tests, you can create exams that match what you actually need to study.

• Focus on what matters – If you're preparing for an upcoming certification or brushing up on weak areas, you can build an exam that targets exactly those topics. No fluff, no wasted time.
• Let AI do the heavy lifting – Manually writing questions takes forever. AI can generate an entire test for you in seconds, or just help format existing questions so they’re easier to work with.
• Choose your approach – You can start from scratch, tweak AI-generated questions, or upload your material. Whatever works best for you.
• Practice makes permanent – The more you test yourself, the better you retain information. Custom exams reinforce what you’ve learned and build confidence before the real thing.
• Instant results, instant feedback – No waiting, no uncertainty. As soon as you finish the exam, you see your score and know exactly where you stand.

A few years ago, I was studying for a big certification exam and wasted so much time trying to find decent practice tests. Most were either too easy, too random, or full of errors. If I had built my tests like this—focused, AI-assisted, and instantly graded—I would’ve saved weeks of frustration.

That’s exactly what PrepareBuddy solves. With its Custom Exams, you can create tailored tests, use AI-generated questions, and get instant feedback—all in one place. No more sifting through unreliable practice tests or waiting for results.
