Exam reading practice, built for graduate students
Studying for the test and reading the literature compete for the same hours. Paper2Exam turns the paper already on your desk into exam-standard passages and questions — so the practice is exam reading, but the reading is still your field.
Three papers every 24 hours on the free plan. No card required.
Arctic terns undertake the longest annual migration of any known animal, traveling between polar regions each year. The scale of this journey long resisted explanation.
Tracking data revealed that the birds do not follow a direct route, but detour into prevailing wind systems that reduce the energetic cost of flight. The detour lengthens the path while lowering its total cost.
According to paragraph 2, why do Arctic terns fly an indirect route?
From paragraph 2: the correct option restates the highlighted sentence; C contradicts it — the detour makes the path longer, not shorter.
Three things this tool won't do
Every stem, option and explanation has to be supported by the document you uploaded. The model is not allowed to invent facts, examples or conclusions — a question that reads well but isn't in your paper is worse than no question at all.
All nine standard question types, including sentence insertion and prose summary — the two most often done badly. Distractors are built the way real ones are, not padded out with three obvious wrongs.

From one paper to one exam
Whichever paper you're reading right now. Text is extracted server-side, so figures and references don't leak into the passage.
Rebuilt to the length and pacing of the exam rather than handed to you whole — a paper's information density is not the same as a reading test's.
18 minutes per passage by default, with question navigation and flagging. You can also sit a single passage instead of starting the whole set again.
Every explanation points back to the specific sentence it came from. Which line you misread, and why the other option fails, are both checkable against the paper.
Email or Google — either works. Your passages and results stay in your account.
