What's new

Meet Winston

Tell Winston what keeps tripping you up.
He teaches it, then drills it.

Tell Winston where you are struggling and he answers with a teaching card: plain language on what you are getting wrong and how to set it right, a real-world example, and a way to remember it. Then drill that exact topic in a three, five or ten question quiz, while it is still fresh.

  • Ask anything

    Ask the way you would ask a tutor, in your own words. Winston already knows your exam, its blueprint and the questions you have missed on that topic, so the answer is written for you, not pulled from a generic article.

  • See it in the real world

    Each card starts with a plain-language explanation, then sets out the distinctions the exam tests, side by side in a table when that makes them clearer. A real-world example follows, so the concept sticks as a story rather than a definition.

  • Remember it

    Each card ends with a How to Remember aid: a mnemonic, a rule of thumb or a mental picture, whichever fits the concept. The exam trap is called out too: the wording that points to one answer, and the option that pairs two things that cannot go together, a favorite trick of the exam.

  • Then drill it

    One click starts a short drill on exactly that topic, three, five or ten questions, so what you just reviewed is tested while it is fresh. Miss one and it joins your miss queue.

  • Keep every answer

    Every question you ask is kept, with the card Winston wrote for it, so you can open any explanation again later: the week before the exam, or the moment that topic trips you up again.

The diagnosis

Winston's Study Brief:
your misses, explained, with the fix.

Ask Winston is where you bring a question. The Study Brief is where Winston brings one to you: a personalized analysis of your weak spots, built from your recent misses and the subdomains still under target. Need it from a different angle? Hit Regenerate and he takes another pass at the same weak spots.

Winston's Study Brief for one exam: the named gap at the top, three weak areas each with the points to nail down, and an exam tip at the bottom
  • The gap, named

    One line that says what your misses have in common, so you know what you are actually weak on, not just which questions you got wrong.

  • What to nail down, per area

    For each weak area, the specific facts and distinctions to lock in, written from the questions you missed.

  • The exam tip

    How the exam tends to dress the concept up, and what to map it to when you see it. Regenerate the brief whenever your misses change.

The scoreboard

Know when you're ready.

Readiness is weighted by the exam blueprint, not by how many questions you clicked. Every domain sits in a band: Ready, Almost there, Needs work, and a domain clears to Ready at 80% accuracy, the same bar everywhere. Winston's Corner reads your whole history and tells you what to fix next, how your momentum is trending, and what needs the most work.

The Stats page: blueprint-weighted readiness at 59%, answered, accuracy, sessions, day streak, miss queue and subdomains ready, then the domain-strength radar against the 80% target and the accuracy trend

Ready, domain by domain

Every domain on the exam's home page shows its share of the exam, how many of its subdomains are ready, and your accuracy. Open one and each subdomain is read against the same target: 15 questions answered and 80% accuracy, Ready, Almost there or Needs work. One click drills the subdomains that are not there yet.

Winston's Corner

Up to 13 cards on your exam home, depending on how much history you have: what to drill next, where you stand by domain, how close you are to Ready, and what your last sessions showed. Three are shown here.

The miss queue: every wrong answer, until you clear it

  • Every miss waits

    Every question you get wrong joins the queue, grouped by subdomain, with its miss count beside it and the repeat offenders counted.

  • Cleared by two in a row

    Nothing leaves until you have answered it correctly twice in a row, so a lucky guess does not clear it.

  • Bookmarks are separate

    My Queue holds the questions you save to come back to. Practising them never moves your readiness; it only updates each question’s own tally.

Questions that are generated and checked,
then rotated and retired.

  • Generated fresh

    Written to the exam's current blueprint, domain by domain.

  • Checked by a team of AI agents

    Every question, its answer key and its explanation are reviewed by the agent team before it is served.

  • Rotated by exposure

    The least-seen question in a topic is served first, so the same one does not come round twice in a row.

  • Retired when the exam changes

    Replaced when the objectives change, and when a question has been served too many times.

A fixed bank goes stale the day it is written. Yours does not.

Why we built this

We built Preppio for the gaps the prep services leave. How you prepare, and how deep the material goes, including the certs where credible prep barely exists.

Take MD-102. Beyond the official learning path there was almost nothing, so we built our own. One of our first testers studied 30 days on Preppio and walked in cold: a solid pass on the first attempt.

One tester's result, not a promise.

i.The method gap

Most prep is static: a bank to memorize or a video to watch. Preppio is a study partner who reads your misses and goes after them.

ii.The depth gap

Every domain of every exam, with explanations that teach, not just a key.

iii.The forgotten exams

We go deep where good practice is hard to find, and we keep going when the exam changes.

FAQs

The things people ask before they start.

How are the questions made, and who checks them?

Every question is generated from the exam's published objectives, then passed through an agentic review team that checks the accuracy, the answer key and the explanation before it is served. Questions rotate by how often they have been seen, and they are retired when the exam's objectives change.

Is this an exam dump?

Absolutely not. Every question is original content, generated by our systems from the exam's published objectives and written in our best gauge of the vendor's voice, so the tone is familiar when you sit the exam. Nothing is copied from any exam, and questions are retired when the objectives change.

What does Winston do with my answers?

Winston reads your attempt history to teach the concept you missed and to pick what to drill next; that is the whole use. We do not sell customer information and we do not share it with advertisers, period. The AI providers we use and what they receive are listed in the Privacy Statement, and there are no advertising trackers on this site or in the app.

What is free, forever?

Three exams: AZ-900, CLF-C02 and GCP-CDL, with a starter allowance of generated questions, drills, Winston reviews and Ask Winston. There is no card to enter and no trial clock; the free exams stay free, and every paid plan includes them on top.

Can I cancel? What about refunds?

Cancel any time from your profile; access runs to the end of the paid period and nothing is deleted. If your first personal subscription is not for you, email support within 14 days of that first payment for a full refund, once per customer; renewals and Team plans are not covered. The Terms have the details.

Which exams do you cover?

33 certifications across 8 vendors: Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, CompTIA, Cisco, GitHub, MongoDB and HashiCorp. Each exam has its own page in the exam library, with the domains it tests and a sample of every question format. New exams ship as they are ready, and the library keeps growing.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Preppio is an installable web app: add it to your home screen and it opens full screen with its own icon, like any other app. There is nothing to download from an app store and nothing to update: every load gives you the current version, with the latest features, and your progress is the same on every device you sign in from.

Can my team use it?

Yes. Buy seats in blocks of 5, 10 or 20, invite teammates by email, and see readiness per member, per exam, in the manager view. Each seat is the two-exam plan, any seat can be upgraded to All Access, and every Team plan starts with a 14-day free trial. The Teams page has the prices and the trial terms.
