- (2025-05-15) Vignesh Arun: Very user friendly and great interface. Very helpful in exam revision. However when finding a past paper, I encountered an issue where the random paper given simply took me to the PapaCambridge homepage. It was 9701 Feb/March 2023 Paper 23, which obviously doesn't exist. It also offered me the option to see May/June 2025 of the paper I'm yet to do and papers from the Oct/Nov 2025 series, also yet to happen. A small fix to notify. Otherwise, highly recommended! Can't find another Cambridge paper tool like this!

- (2025-04-21) Espiderman: The most convenient tool I've ever used. For all my fellow May/June A and AS level peeps here is a tip: Downlad a bunch of past papers easily with papercompass, Merge them into one pdf using a free site such as smallpdf.com, Upload the pdf to chatgpt and ask it to analyse the questions and tell you the most recurring topics, concepts and questions so you can then focus more on those chpaters and concepts. You can also ask chatgpt to ask you similar questions. Best revision technique!!! All the best!
