01 / Problem
Candidates preparing for a civil-service exam with psychometric tests usually practise with fixed question sets: they repeat what they already know, do not know which skill they are failing and have no way of measuring progress. Academies solve part of the problem, but at a price and on a timetable that do not suit everyone.
02 / Solution
How we solved it
PsicoSprint draws a clear line between what the AI does and what it does not. The question bank was drafted with help from a model, offline, and reviewed before publication. The engine that picks the next question is deterministic: it estimates mastery of each skill, raises or lowers difficulty based on the streak and schedules spaced reviews. In real time, the AI only rewords explanations, with caching, validation and a model-free fallback if it fails.
Flow
- 01
Per-skill mastery updated with a logistic curve
- 02
Difficulty from 1 to 5: goes up after three correct answers in a row and down after two mistakes
- 03
Spaced review at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days
- 04
Time measured on the server, not in the browser
- 05
Idempotent Stripe webhooks and access granted only once per purchase
Workstreams
An adaptive engine that can be explained
No unconstrained randomness and no language model in the decision. Selection uses a seeded generator and every session stores its version.
- Excludes the 30 most recent questions
- Engine, scoring and plan versions recorded per session
Traceable content
Every question states that it was drafted with AI assistance and where it came from. Published versions cannot be modified: a change creates a new version.
- Six skills and eight exercise types
- Automatic answer checking where possible
- Checks for banned terms such as pass or diagnosis
Promises that can be kept
The platform says what it is not: it is not linked to any public body, its results are not a psychological assessment and using it does not guarantee a pass.
- Confirmation of legal age at sign-up and payment
- 14-day refund
03 / Scope
What it does
- Free 15-exercise level test, no sign-up needed to start
- Results by skill with accuracy, speed and priority areas
- Adaptive plan that adjusts difficulty and reinforces weak points
- Timed mock exams and error review with explanations
- Progress history and one-off 30-day or 180-day plans
04 / Impact
What it solves
In fifteen minutes candidates know where they stand, skill by skill, and get a plan that focuses on their weak points. Each session stores the seed and the versions of the engine and scoring, so any result can be reproduced and explained. Paid access is a one-off payment with no automatic renewal.
Security and confidentiality
- Row-level security on every table: correct answers are never readable from the client.
- Authorisation is resolved on the server; admin access requires a database role and an authorised email.
- Analytics only with consent, account export and deletion, and retention periods set by data type.
05 / Questions
Frequently asked questions
Are the questions generated by an AI on the spot?
No. The bank was drafted with AI assistance before launch, reviewed and published in versions that do not change. What happens in real time is decided by a deterministic engine.
Does it work for the Guardia Civil and the Army?
The skills are shared and can be trained today. Content specific to each force is being prepared; the platform flags this in each case.
