Orpheus writes rigorous, curriculum-aligned exam papers for mathematics, the sciences and English. Set your topics, difficulty and question types, or upload your own notes, and get a full paper with marks, an answer key and marking rubrics.
What you can do
Every question type
Multiple choice, short answer and long answer questions, grouped into clearly titled sections and ordered from easier to harder.
Answer keys and rubrics
Every paper comes with a complete answer key, and optional marking rubrics that describe exactly how marks are awarded.
From a topic or your notes
Start from a subject and topics, or upload your own notes, a textbook page or a past paper and build a paper from them.
Sit it, print it, export it
Take the paper interactively with instant marking, or print it, download it, or export a shareable file.
Papers that read like the real thing
A generated paper is only useful if it could pass for one your school would set. Orpheus papers open with instructions and a mark total, group questions into sections, allocate marks that match the work each question demands, and typeset every equation properly.
- Real notation
Mathematics and chemistry render as proper typeset notation, in the paper and in the answer key.
- Sensible mark schemes
A two-mark question asks for two marks of work. Rubrics spell out how each mark is earned.
- Timed sitting mode
Sit the paper against the clock, the way you will on the day. Multiple choice is scored the moment you finish.
- Sections and instructions
Papers open the way real ones do, with numbered sections, instructions and a total at the top.

Made for real study
Make a practice paper the week before a test, sit it timed, and mark yourself against the key to find weak spots early.
Draft a class paper in minutes instead of an evening, then set it as an assignment and let the marking run itself.
Build a short, targeted paper on exactly the topics a student struggles with, at exactly the right difficulty.
