Study together online

A live group study session for up to 8 people. Everyone works on the same problem with exactly the same numbers, and the step-by-step solution opens for everyone at the same moment.

How a session works

Open a lobby. In the app, choose a topic and level, tap Together and choose Study together. Then choose how many problems the session has.
Invite classmates. Copy the link or share it, or invite people you follow; they see the invitation on their Friends page. Nothing is sent by email. Joining needs a free account.
Start when everyone is in. The host starts the session and everyone gets the first problem, built from the same seed, so the values are identical, each in their own language.
Answer on your own. Each person locks in one answer. Hints are personal, so asking for one does not spoil the problem for anyone else.
Open the solution together. When everyone who is present has answered, or when the host opens it, the full worked solution appears for all at once. Then the host moves on to the next problem.

What the others see

Your nickname and avatar if you have a profile. Without one, you appear as “Classmate 2” or similar, never with your name or email.
A small tick when you have answered the current problem. Never what you answered or whether it was right: each person sees only their own result.
At the end, everyone can give each person one reaction: 👏, 🔥 or 💪. There is no chat and no free text anywhere.

See when friends are practising

In Settings you can switch on a small “practising now” dot next to your nickname. It is off unless you switch it on, it is shown only to followers who may see your profile, and it disappears after 5 minutes without activity. It is a quiet way to see who is around for a session.

Free, with longer sessions on a plan

Study together is free. Each problem you answer counts toward your 5 free problems a day, and you get hints and the full solution for it; opening the session and watching do not count. If your free problems run out during a session, you can still follow along, but your answers are not checked and hints and solutions are not shown.

Without a plan, a session has up to 5 problems. A host with a plan (a subscription, or Unlimited days earned by inviting friends) can run sessions of up to 20 problems. Joining works the same for everyone.

Good to know

If the host steps away for a while, the person who has been in the session longest can carry on, so a session never gets stuck.
Sessions that nobody has looked at for two hours end by themselves.
People you have blocked cannot join your session, and you cannot join theirs.
Every problem you answer is saved in your own history like any other problem, so you can review it before the exam.

Other ways to practise together

Not everyone can be online at the same time. With Challenge a friend you solve a short set first and send it to a friend to solve later. Exam together is a timed mock exam that starts at the same moment for everyone. To keep up with each other between sessions, see Study with friends. And if you are organising a group, read How to run an online study group.

Challenge a friend

Solve a short set of problems, then send it to a friend. They get exactly the same problems with the same numbers, whenever it suits them. When you have both finished, you compare correct answers and time.

How a challenge works

Choose a topic and level in the app, tap Together and choose Challenge a friend. Pick how many problems the set has.
Solve the set yourself. You answer one problem at a time, in order, with one attempt each. After every answer you see whether it was right, and you can open the full worked solution.
Send the link. Copy or share it, or invite someone you follow so it appears on their Friends page. The link only works for people who are signed in.
Your friend solves the same set. Same problems, same values, the same one-attempt rule, in their own language. Their time runs from the moment they start to their last answer.
Compare. When both of you have finished, you see each other’s number of correct answers, the time taken and a ✓ or ✗ per problem.

Turn a mock exam into a challenge

After a mock exam in Exams, the result screen has a Challenge a friend button. It sends your friend the same exam questions, and your own result counts as your attempt. Without a plan a challenge from an exam uses up to 10 questions, with one up to 20.

What is shared, and what is not

Shared: the number of correct answers, the time and a ✓ or ✗ for each problem.
Never shared: what you typed. Your answers are seen only by you.
The person who made the challenge sees everyone who took it. Someone who takes it sees the creator and themselves, not the other challengers.
After finishing, you can give a reaction: 👏, 🔥 or 💪. There is no chat.
People you have blocked cannot take your challenge, and you cannot take theirs.

Limits and costs

Challenges are free. A challenge link works for 14 days, so a friend has time to take it in a quiet moment. Each problem you answer counts as one of your 5 free problems for the day, so start when you have enough left: your time runs from the moment you start to your last answer.

Without a plan, a set has 3 to 5 problems. With a plan (a subscription, or Unlimited days earned by inviting friends), up to 10.

Why a challenge helps you learn

Because the numbers are identical, a different result means a different method or a slip, and that is worth talking about. Compare where the ✗ marks are, then open the worked solution of those problems together. A challenge also works when you cannot meet: one of you solves it in the evening, the other the next morning.

For live practice at the same moment, use Study together online. For a timed test with the same clock for everyone, use Exam together. Looking for someone to challenge? Read How to find a study buddy online.

Exam together

A mock exam that starts at the same moment for everyone, with the same questions and the same timer. Afterwards you see your full review, and a side-by-side result for everyone who chose to share theirs.

How an exam together works

Set it up under Exams in the app: choose one or more topics, the level, the number of questions and a time limit, then choose Exam together.
Invite up to 8 people with the link or from the people you follow. Everyone waits in the lobby; the exam cannot be joined once it has started.
The host starts the exam for everyone. After a short countdown, all questions open at the same moment, and everyone has the same time.
Work on your own. There are no hints during the exam. Your answers are saved as you go, and you can hand in early. When time is up, everything is handed in automatically.
See the results. You get your score, your time, your strongest topics, a mark per question and every worked solution. The group sees a side-by-side result for those who share it.

Your result, your choice

In the lobby there is a clear switch, Share my result with the group. It is on by default, and you can turn it off before the start.
If you do not share, the others only see that someone kept their result private, not your score.
The others see when you hand in, never your answers.
After the results, everyone can give one reaction: 👏, 🔥 or 💪. There is no chat.

Free to join, longer exams for hosts with a plan

Exam together is free, and anyone with a free account can join any exam, however long. The length depends only on the host: without a plan, an exam has up to 10 questions and 20 minutes. A host with a plan (a subscription, or Unlimited days earned by inviting friends) can set up to 20 questions and 90 minutes.

Each question you answer counts as one problem toward your 5 free problems a day. If they run out during the exam, the remaining answers are not checked and their solutions are not shown; the review shows the solutions of the answers that counted.

How to use it before an exam

Agree on the topics of the real exam and a time limit that matches its pace. Take the exam in silence with the call muted, then go through the questions where your marks differ. A shared timer is useful practice for time pressure, and the side-by-side result shows quickly which topics the group should revisit.

For learning a topic step by step, Study together online is the better fit, because the solution opens after every problem. If someone cannot make the time, send them the same questions with Challenge a friend. More ideas on running a group are in How to run an online study group.

Study with friends

A quiet way to keep up with friends: a profile with a nickname, followers you approve, and a short overview of what each of you has been practising. No chat, no photos and no rankings.

Your profile

A nickname of 3 to 20 letters, digits, dots or underscores. It is the only text you enter, and an automatic filter checks it.
An avatar from the site’s own set: a symbol, a colour and a pattern. Photos cannot be uploaded.
Optionally your field and the courses you are taking, so friends see what you are working on.
You make it under My profile in the account menu, and you can switch it off or delete it at any time.

Who can see what

You choose one of three settings. Followers I approve is the default: people can send a follow request, and only those you accept see your activity. Public lets everyone who is signed in see it and follow you straight away. Private shows only your nickname, and nobody can follow you.

What followers see is limited to practice you completed: the topics you solved problems in recently and how many, and your progress in the courses you chose. Their feed shows one line per person, per topic, per day. Wrong answers, mistakes, scores, your email, your real name and your plan are never shown to anyone.

Profile pages can only be opened by people who are signed in, and they are never shown in search engines.

Following and being followed

Following someone who approves followers sends a request; you see their activity once they accept.
You can accept or decline requests, and remove a follower at any time.
On a topic page you may see how many people you follow practised that topic in the last 30 days.
People you follow can be invited directly to Study together online, Exam together or Challenge a friend.
An optional “practising now” dot, off unless you switch it on, shows followers who may see your profile that you are practising at the moment.

Blocking and reporting

Blocking someone removes any follow between you in both directions. They can no longer follow you, invite you, join your sessions or take your challenges, and the same holds the other way.
You can report a profile for one of four reasons: offensive, impersonation, spam or other.
When several different people report the same profile, it is hidden automatically and its nickname is replaced with a neutral one, which the owner is asked to change.

What it costs

Profiles and follows are free for every account, with or without a plan. For details on what is stored and for how long, see the privacy policy. For tips on finding someone to study with, read How to find a study buddy online.

How to run an online study group

An online study group works when everyone does the thinking, not when one person explains while the others watch. This guide describes a simple format for subjects where you learn by solving problems, such as engineering, maths, science or dosage calculations.

A format that works

Keep the group small. Three to six people is easier to run than ten: everyone gets a turn, and it is easy to find a time. A live session on ExamProblems takes up to 8 people.
Agree on one goal before you meet. “Nodal analysis and Thévenin equivalents” works better than “revise chapter 4”. Everyone knows what to look at beforehand, and you can tell afterwards whether you got there.
Fix a time and a length. A regular slot, for example every week at the same time, makes it a habit. Keep a session short enough to stay focused, with a break if it runs long.
Solve first, discuss afterwards. Everyone attempts the problem alone before anyone explains anything. In Study together online each person locks in their own answer, and the solution only opens when everyone has answered.
Talk about the method, not just the answer. When the solution opens, the people who got it wrong say where their working went another way. Take turns explaining the steps: explaining is where a lot of the learning happens.
Test yourselves under time pressure. In the weeks before the exam, take a timed mock exam at the same moment with Exam together, and spend the next meeting on the topics where the group scored lowest.
Keep it going between meetings. Someone missed a session? Send them the same problems with Challenge a friend, so they can catch up and compare.

Common problems and simple fixes

One person does all the talking: rotate who explains each problem, and let the person who got it wrong speak first.
People come unprepared: share the topic a few days before, and start with one easy problem so everyone can join in.
The group drifts off-topic: let the host set the pace. In a live session, only the host moves on to the next problem.
Very different levels: choose a mixed level, and pair stronger students with the ones who are stuck rather than letting them race ahead.
Nobody can find a time: meet live less often and use challenges in between.

Tools you need

A voice or video call of your choice, because ExamProblems has no chat or voice, and a shared set of problems. Study together and Exam together give everyone the same problems with the same numbers, so you can compare results directly. Nobody needs to share a screen to show the problems.

Everything here is free. Each problem you answer counts toward your 5 free problems a day and comes with hints and its full solution. Hosts with a plan can run longer sessions; members never need one to join.

A sample one-hour session

Five minutes to agree on the topic and level. Thirty-five minutes of study together: solve, open the solution, discuss the differences, next problem. A short break. Then a ten-minute timed set, and five minutes at the end to choose the topic for next time. Adjust it to your group: the point is that everyone solves, and everyone explains once.

How to find a study buddy online

A study buddy is one person who is preparing for the same exam and agrees to work alongside you. It keeps you both on schedule, and explaining a method to each other shows quickly what you have really understood.

Where to find one

The best study buddy is usually someone already on your course: a lab partner, someone from your tutorial group or the course group chat. You share the same exam, the same material and the same deadlines. Ask directly and be specific, for example: “Do you want to practise the thermodynamics problems together once a week until the exam?”

ExamProblems does not match you with strangers. Instead, swap nicknames with someone you know: once you both have a profile, search for each other’s nickname and follow each other.

What to look for

The same exam or course, and roughly the same timeline.
Reliability matters more than being the best in the class. Someone who shows up every week helps more than a star who cancels.
A similar way of working: some people like to talk through every step, others prefer to solve quietly and compare.

How to work together

Agree on a plan: which topics, in which weeks, and a regular time to check in.
Challenge each other. Solve a short set and send it with Challenge a friend: your buddy gets the same problems with the same numbers, and you compare correct answers and time.
Look at the differences. Where one of you has a ✓ and the other a ✗, open the worked solution together and find the step where your methods split.
Follow each other’s progress. With Study with friends you see which topics your buddy has been practising, without anyone seeing your mistakes or scores.
Practise live now and then. A short Study together online session, or a timed Exam together before the real exam, keeps you both honest.

Keep it safe and comfortable

Share a nickname, not your personal details. On ExamProblems others see only your nickname and a built-in avatar, never your name or email.
The default profile setting is Followers I approve, so nobody sees your activity unless you accept them.
If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them: follows are removed both ways, and they cannot invite you or join your sessions. You can also report a profile.

When it is not working

Study partnerships end, and that is fine. If your schedules or goals drift apart, say so kindly and stop the weekly slot. You can unfollow or remove a follower at any time. Many students also do well in a small group instead: see How to run an online study group.

Everything described here is free with an account. Each problem you answer counts toward your 5 free problems a day.
