Adaptive personalisation

Five study archetypes. The app adapts to yours.

Four questions in 60 seconds. We map you to one of five study archetypes (not VARK-style learning styles), then tune how the app paces, explains and reminds you: scheduling, card density, notification tone and mock-exam cadence.

The five

Find yours below.

Each block shows the candidate it fits and the specific ways the app changes when it is selected. You can retake the study-style quiz any time from Settings if your study habits shift.

01 / Archetype

Ambitious Performer

You learn by competing against the clock - and you peak under pressure.

Career-switcher with a target sit date. Energised by deadlines.

How the app changes for you:

Live readiness gauge and a countdown to your target exam date
Mock exam sessions every couple of weeks to build pacing
Notifications framed around how close you are, not how hard you worked

02 / Archetype

Methodical Builder

You learn by stacking foundations - and the structure is the point.

Compliance or risk professional. Moderate prior knowledge, mastery-oriented.

How the app changes for you:

Concept cards lead with the definition, then the example
One domain at a time, with checkpoints when mastery is stable
Notifications framed around what you have understood, not what you have scored

03 / Archetype

Big-Picture Explorer

You learn by doing first, then naming the pattern after.

Architect or consultant. High prior knowledge, high tolerance for ambiguity.

How the app changes for you:

Scenario-first questions with the definition revealed after
Topics interleaved across sessions, not blocked by domain
Light elaboration prompts to surface the why behind each control

04 / Archetype

Pragmatic Skipper

You already know a lot - your edge is finding the gaps fast.

Senior practitioner. Time-poor, performance-driven, high prior knowledge.

How the app changes for you:

Short sessions tuned to surface what you do not already know
Adaptive difficulty climbs quickly once you prove a topic is solid
Calibration view shows where your gut and the data disagree

05 / Archetype

Careful Climber

You learn by consolidating - one solid step before the next.

Career-changer or returning learner. Lower prior knowledge, underconfident.

How the app changes for you:

Review-led pacing so what you learn sticks before we add more
Smaller study targets while your foundation is being built
Notifications framed around steady progress, not raw volume

Why this and not VARK

Four answers set you up. Your study data does the rest.

Classic learning-style profiling (Visual / Auditory / Reading / Kinaesthetic) has been debunked by repeated meta-analyses since 2008. We do not use it. Your archetype comes from four plain questions about how you work; the app then keeps measuring from your answers as you study.

Quiz question 1

Experience

Years in cyber, risk, compliance or audit. Together with your other answers it decides how quickly you move from definitions to scenarios.

Quiz question 2

Goal

When you get one wrong, would you rather understand exactly why, or see the answer and carry on? Mastery or performance shapes how feedback is framed.

Quiz question 3

Comfort with ambiguity

ISO standards are interpretation-heavy. Low tolerance gets definition-first cards; high tolerance gets scenario-first.

Quiz question 4

Session length

About 15, 30 or 45 minutes. It sizes your Daily Three rings (Practice, Mastery and Review) and how long a session runs.

Not asked - measured as you study

Confidence calibration

The gap between how confident you feel and how often you are right. The quiz cannot know it, so the app measures it from your answers and uses it to decide how hard the Coach pushes back and how your Readiness Score is weighted.
