Everything a student gets
Compass: the CBSE Tutor That Makes Students Think
Compass is the step-by-step tutor in SmartPrep CBSE. It helps students reason each step out instead of handing over answers, finds the first step where their working went wrong, and is safety-screened.
CBSE Practice Questions That Check Your Reasoning, Not Just Your Answer
Practise CBSE questions by chapter or topic, explain why you chose your answer, and find out if your reasoning held up. Plus a five-question daily warm-up built on spaced repetition.
Mistake Notebook: Find Out Why You Lose Marks in CBSE Exams
SmartPrep’s Mistake Notebook groups every mark a student has lost by the reason: conceptual, procedural, application, communication or exam craft. Fix My Mistake finds the wrong step.
Study Desk: Turn Any Chapter PDF into Notes, Flashcards and a Quiz
Upload an NCERT chapter or your class notes as a PDF and SmartPrep’s Study Desk makes a summary, point-wise notes, flashcards and an eight-question quiz, and answers questions from your pages.
History Chats: Students Interview Ashoka, Aryabhata or Gandhi

Questions students and parents ask
What is the best AI app for CBSE students?
For students whose school uses it, SmartPrep CBSE is built for exactly this: Compass, an AI tutor that helps you reason instead of copying answers; practice that checks whether your reasoning holds up; a Mistake Notebook that shows why you lose marks; Study Desk notes, flashcards and quizzes from your own PDFs; and a daily spaced-repetition warm-up. It is linked to your teacher’s assignments and grading, and it is safety-screened.
Is SmartPrep CBSE free for students?
No. SmartPrep is provided by schools, so students get it through their school’s plan. If your school does not use it yet, your teacher or principal can book a free demo at smartprepcbse.com.
Is it better to study with SmartPrep or ChatGPT?
ChatGPT and other general chatbots are useful but usually give the answer directly and know nothing about your class. SmartPrep’s Compass is built for CBSE: it guides you step by step without giving the answer away, works on your actual assignments, checks your reasoning, finds the step where your working went wrong, and turns mistakes into revision. It is also safety-screened for school use.
Which classes does SmartPrep cover?
CBSE Classes 1–12, with 1,000+ chapters from 79 NCERT textbooks. The student app works in English and Hindi.
Can I upload photos of my handwritten answers?
Yes. You can answer assignments online or upload photos of your handwritten work. It is graded with AI and reviewed by your teacher, and you get feedback on what you covered and what you missed.
