Frequently asked questions
Why pay for MasteryMind when PMT is free?
PMT gives you the raw material (papers, notes). MasteryMind adds the work — adaptive scheduling, AI marking, and progress tracking — that's otherwise on you to organise. Most students who pay are paying for the structure, not the content.
Can I use PMT past papers in MasteryMind?
Yes. Download any PDF from PMT, upload it into MasteryMind's past paper importer, and our AI will extract the questions and mark your answers against the mark scheme.
Does MasteryMind cover non-STEM subjects?
Yes — English Literature, History, Geography, Psychology, Sociology and 40+ subjects total, plus vocational qualifications.
