Exam preparation and exam results that fit in a phone: Telegram bots with past questions and worked solutions, step-by-step help with a problem you photograph, and official results from the body that runs the exam.

We do not start these bots by hand, so every candidate is checked from the outside. We confirm on t.me that the username is a live bot rather than a channel or a free name, find the owner's side (an exam board, a school platform, a project site or channel) and call a bot official only when that side links to it. We take prices and free limits from the owner's site, look at the dates of recent posts and updates, note the interface languages, and drop answer leaks, copied textbook solutions and pirated study material. For this subtopic we also check which exam and which year's format the material follows, and whether the bot explains a solution or only gives the answer.
Three different things get called an exam bot. A task bank gives you problems with worked solutions - the fastest way to find out what you cannot do yet. A theory bot explains the rule or topic behind a task. A trainer drills one problem shape until it stops being a problem. Preparation works when you use all three in that order: try, find the hole, fill it, drill it.
First, the year. An exam specification changes, and a bot with last year's format teaches you a paper that no longer exists - look for material that matches the current one. Second, whether the bot explains or just answers: a solved problem you did not understand is worth nothing on exam day. Third, what the free part actually contains, because this niche is full of bots that hand out three tasks and then sell a course. Fourth, for exam results, the source: a results bot is official only if the exam board links to it from its own website, and look-alike bots appear on results day.
A newer kind of bot takes a photo of a problem and sends back a worked solution. Used well, it is a patient explainer: try the task yourself first, then compare your steps with the bot's and ask why the step you did not follow works. Two limits matter. These models can be confidently wrong, above all on long multi-step problems, so check the answer against your notes or a second tool. And handing in generated work as your own is cheating; in the exam hall the bot will not be there anyway.
No. They give practice and material; what a tutor adds is noticing why you keep making the same mistake.
Check it against the current specification before you trust a bot: formats change between years and an outdated bank teaches the wrong paper.
Only for a few countries so far. Ethiopia's exam service publishes grade 12 results through EAES Official Results Bot (@EAESbot), and CheetahWAEC bot (@CheetahWAECbot) drills maths for West Africa's WAEC exam. For any curriculum, Wolfram Alpha Bot (@wolframbot) computes algebra and calculus, and Brain Bot (@bot_brain_bot) solves tasks sent as a photo; the list is still short.
