Spider mastery diagram and question randomization added

Made first version of spider mastery diagram as a nice visual way to view overall mastery progress. I also added randomization (optional) to simulator, because that's what happens in the real exam. Later, I will look to make the choices also random.

2022, 2023 and specimen papers added to the simulator; paper downloads page

All remaining past papers — 2022, 2023, and the official specimen papers — have been added to the exam simulator. A dedicated paper downloads page has also gone live, so you can grab the PDFs directly if you'd rather work through them on paper.

2019, 2020 and 2021 papers added to the simulator

Three more years' worth of past papers are now available in the exam simulator. Just 2022 and 2023 to go.

Topic tags on questions

Every question in the exam simulator now carries a topic tag (algebra, coordinate geometry, logic, and so on). The dashboard uses these to show you a per-topic strength/weakness breakdown, which is very useful for working out where to focus your next revision session.

Email sign-up and saved progress

You can now create an account with an email and password. Signing up is optional, but it lets the site remember your attempts and track your progress over time. Anonymous users can still sit papers — your progress just won't persist across devices or sessions.

2017 and 2018 papers added to the simulator

Both 2017 and 2018 past papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2) are now available in the exam simulator.

Exam simulator launched with 2016 papers

The exam simulator is live. Paper 1 and Paper 2 from 2016 are both available to sit under timed Pearson VUE-style conditions. More papers to follow shortly.
