Managing exam preparation for large IB cohorts can be one of the most demanding challenges an international school faces. Hundreds of students, multiple subjects, limited teacher time, and the constant need for fairness and consistency — the logistics alone can be overwhelming.
RevisionDojo provides a structured, data-driven solution. Its adaptive tools, analytics, and centralized review system help schools manage IB exam preparation efficiently and equitably, no matter how large the student body. With RevisionDojo for Schools, exam review becomes organized, transparent, and focused — giving both students and teachers the clarity they need to succeed.
The Challenge of Reviewing at Scale
IB schools with large cohorts often face the same issues each exam season:
- Uneven access to feedback between classes or teachers.
- Time constraints limiting individualized revision.
- Difficulty tracking performance across subjects.
- Stress and inconsistency during mock and final reviews.
Traditional systems — shared folders, manual marking, or disconnected data sheets — quickly become unsustainable. RevisionDojo eliminates those bottlenecks, creating one centralized space where data, feedback, and student progress come together in real time.
Quick Start Checklist: Streamlining Large-Scale Exam Review
- Import all student groups: Sync your student lists with the school’s RevisionDojo dashboard.
- Assign review tasks per subject: Set standardized revision sessions using IB-aligned question banks.
- Monitor cohort analytics: Use the dashboard to track completion rates and accuracy trends.
- Identify high-priority students: Target support where it’s most needed.
- Automate feedback cycles: Use built-in templates to return quick, meaningful feedback to every learner.
By following these steps, even large cohorts become manageable — with every student receiving targeted revision that fits their progress level.
How RevisionDojo Simplifies Large-Scale Exam Review
1. Centralized Data for Every Student
RevisionDojo’s analytics dashboard aggregates performance data from all classes and subjects. Teachers and coordinators can view cohort-wide trends, identify struggling groups, and track how performance evolves across time.
For example: If a Year 13 cohort is underperforming in Paper 1 command term accuracy, the entire department can intervene strategically before final exams.
2. Adaptive Review Sessions
Each student receives practice tasks tailored to their ability level. This adaptive feature prevents advanced learners from coasting and ensures struggling students get the scaffolding they need. In large cohorts, it allows every learner to receive personalized review — without creating extra marking work.
3. Shared Rubrics and Assessment Criteria
RevisionDojo includes official IB-style rubrics built into the platform. Teachers across multiple classes can assess consistently, ensuring fairness and standardization throughout the entire cohort.
4. Efficient Feedback Delivery
The platform’s smart feedback tools allow teachers to leave personalized comments at scale. Common feedback templates can be customized and reused, drastically reducing time while maintaining high quality.
5. Cohort-Level Reporting for Coordinators
Coordinators can generate real-time reports that summarize performance by subject, topic, or teacher. These insights guide school-wide interventions and ensure resources are directed where they’ll have the most impact.
The Power of Centralization
When all exam review activities take place in one platform, schools benefit from:
- Consistency: All teachers use the same rubrics, question types, and grading expectations.
- Clarity: Students see their progress clearly and know what to focus on next.
- Efficiency: Data collection, analysis, and reporting are automated.
- Fairness: Every student receives equal access to high-quality revision resources.
This centralized structure helps schools manage scale without sacrificing quality or personal connection.
A Practical Example: Managing a Large DP Cohort
Scenario:
A school has 180 IB Diploma students across six Group 4 subjects. Coordinators need to ensure that all students receive adequate exam review while teachers balance heavy marking loads.
Approach:
- Each department sets standardized revision tasks using RevisionDojo’s IB-aligned question banks.
- Analytics dashboards track completion rates and average accuracy for every class.
- Coordinators identify students needing additional support and create targeted study groups.
- Teachers use feedback templates to respond efficiently while maintaining personalization.
Outcome:
In three weeks, the school achieves 95% completion across all revision tasks, improved Paper 2 accuracy, and significantly reduced teacher workload.
RevisionDojo’s structure makes even large-scale exam preparation feel manageable and strategic.
Benefits for Teachers and Students
For Teachers:
- Simplified management of multiple classes.
- Instant visibility into cohort performance.
- Faster marking and feedback delivery.
- Consistent grading across the department.
For Students:
- Equal access to structured revision materials.
- Personalized practice tailored to their progress.
- Clear progress tracking and reflection tools.
- Reduced exam anxiety through consistent preparation.
For Coordinators:
- School-wide data transparency.

- More effective communication with staff and parents.
Everyone benefits when large-scale review becomes structured, visible, and data-informed.
Reflection and Student Accountability
Independent reflection is often lost when managing large cohorts. RevisionDojo ensures it remains central. After every review session, students complete guided reflection prompts — evaluating what went well, where they struggled, and what they’ll focus on next.
These reflections appear in teacher dashboards, creating meaningful data for discussions. Coordinators can also review reflection participation rates to ensure all students engage deeply with the revision process.
This focus on reflection transforms exam review from a routine exercise into a process of genuine learning growth.
