Exam preparation for Ghanaian tertiary students
PremioQuest builds exam preparation for students in Ghanaian tertiary institutions. We work with examiners to write question banks against published course outlines, and we use language models where they genuinely help — turning a student's own handouts into practice questions — while keeping expert authorship where it counts. This blog is where we write about assessment: what exams measure, what generative AI changed about that, and what the research actually says about how people learn. We cite our sources, and we name our own limits.
Practice questions are not the check you run after studying; they are the studying. Students who answered from memory remembered about half as much again a week later as re-readers - and predicted the opposite. Read once, shut the notes, answer, read the explanation, come back a few days later.
