Platform Comparison
Success in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) depends on many factors: motivation, study habits, and teaching all play their part.Yet the learning resources students rely on often shape how effectively they grasp material, retain knowledge, and apply it in assessments.
Choosing the right platform is therefore an important part of setting up for success.
At first glance, Revision Village and RevisionDojo may seem similar, but they diverge in key areas. Differences in pedagogy, content depth, textbooks and notes, coursework support, use of AI, and overall effectiveness mean each platform offers a distinct experience. This comparison outlines those differences to help students make an informed decision about which platform best matches their needs and goals.
RevisionDojo provides a full, curriculum-aligned pathway. Revision Village does not.
RevisionDojo delivers a complete learning journey, built around the three phases of real learning: understanding, retention, and application.
This structured design works: in our State of Learning survey, 92% of users reported a 39% reduction in stress levels and 75% saw a 48% boost in mark scheme understanding.

Revision Village centers on practice questions and flashcards, making it most useful for students who already have a strong grasp of concepts and are in the final stages of exam preparation.
During the school year, however, it offers little support for building understanding or retaining knowledge. For most students, this leaves significant gaps and limited value until the very end of the course.
RevisionDojo provides a full, curriculum-aligned pathway, helping students build understanding, retain knowledge, and apply it effectively under exam conditions. Revision Village skips the first two phases and only delivers practice.
For highly confident students this may be enough, but for the majority it leaves gaps and creates stress. Dojo closes that gap, which is why it has become the trusted all-in-one solution for IB learners worldwide.
RevisionDojo sets the benchmark for IB preparation today. Our question banks are built with official IB question creators, top-scoring students, IB examiners, and experienced teachers. Every problem comes with an official-style mark scheme, explainers and video explanations so students learn not only the what but also the why behind scoring.
Jojo, our AI tutor, provides explanations that adapt to each learner's level, making advanced concepts clear while keeping everything rigorously aligned with IB standards. The result is a library that is broader, deeper, and more authentic than anything else available.
Revision Village originally earned its reputation through useful math question banks written by its founders. That early content set a high bar, but since their platform was acquired in 2021, quality has dropped significantly. The newer material often feels recycled, shallow and entirely wrong, particularly outside of Math.
Take IB Business Management as an example: their platform serves up multiple-choice questions, even though the subject has no MCQ component at all.
As a recent user told us: "It's hard to trust RevisionVillage's 'human-made' claims when they add MCQs to a subject that has none, and then charge students $250 for it."
RevisionDojo surpasses Revision Village's quality. With content shaped by official IB question creators, top students, examiners, and teachers, Dojo delivers the most authentic and effective IB preparation available. Revision Village may have once stood out with its original Math content, but today, the decline in quality and obvious inaccuracies (like MCQs in a subject that doesn't use them) quickly erode student trust. For learners aiming to excel in the IB, RevisionDojo is the easiest pick.
RevisionDojo goes beyond practice by offering syllabus-aligned textbooks and notes, broken down to the sub-sub-topic level. Each explanation is carefully written to match IB standards, helping students not just review but truly understand the material. Whether it's enzyme kinetics in Biology or elasticity in Economics, our textbooks provide the structure, clarity, and depth that make complex concepts easier to grasp and retain.
We've intentionally formatted our content with numbered points, selective bolding and coloured call outs to make key ideas easier to absorb at a glance. It's the same method our founders relied on in high school to study more effectively.
This shows up everywhere in our work. When we teach enzyme kinetics, we don't just throw random equations at you. We remember the exact moment competitive inhibition stopped being confusing. We know the mental picture that makes active sites click. We've been there. Recently. Proximity to the real struggle of learning is our advantage. Academic credentials verify we're right. Student testing proves we work.
Revision Village, by contrast, does not provide notes or textbooks. Its focus is on practice questions and flashcards, which can be helpful for revision, but only if students have already built a strong foundation elsewhere. For learners still working to understand the concepts, this leaves noticeable gaps. In practice, it means Revision Village supports only part of the learning process, not the whole journey.
RevisionDojo supports students from the ground up: building knowledge with textbooks, reinforcing it with notes, videos, mini lessons, and applying it through practice. Revision Village offers solid practice tools, but without structured materials to develop understanding, it risks leaving students underprepared. For those seeking a complete preparation experience, Dojo provides the more comprehensive path.
RevisionDojo supports the entire IB journey, including the coursework components that make up almost half of a student's final grade:
This combination of exemplars, examiner-style grading, and feedback gives students practical, actionable guidance across every coursework component, something no other IB platform provides.
Just as it offers no textbooks or study guides, Revision Village also provides no support for IA, EE, TOK, or IO. Students are left to seek exemplars, feedback, and practice tools elsewhere, even though these components make up nearly a third of the final IB grade.
RevisionDojo offers a complete solution across both exams and coursework, ensuring students are prepared for every element of the IB. Revision Village focuses only on final written exams and ignores coursework (and general learning) entirely, leaving students unprepared in areas that matter most.
From day one, Dojo was designed as an AI-first learning platform. Our AI tutor doesn't just give hints, it explains step by step with examiner alignment, so students actually understand why an answer is right (and why others are wrong). Innovation at Dojo means faster iteration, deeper support, and tools that genuinely reduce stress and boost results.
Revision Village has added AI as an afterthought. Rather than rethinking how students learn, it has tacked AI onto existing products, and the quality of the output reflects that. The AI responses feel shallow, disconnected from examiner standards, and don't provide the level of guidance students need.
Dojo's innovative AI and features are built into the fabric of the platform, while Village's is bolted on. The difference is stark: Dojo innovates with purpose, Village experiments without direction.
Objectively, RevisionDojo provides more, costs less, innovates faster, and will continue to do so. Where Revision Village is narrow and static, Dojo is broad, dynamic, and built for the entire IB journey.
If you're aiming for top marks, choose the platform that goes beyond exam preparation and supports your entire IB journey. RevisionDojo combines examiner expertise, top-scoring student insight, structured textbooks, and adaptive AI guidance to give you a complete system for success.
With syllabus-aligned notes, 35,000+ exam-style questions, 5,000+ IBO-graded exemplars, and AI-powered feedback for IA, EE, TOK, and IOs in 10+ languages, RevisionDojo delivers both breadth and depth. Every resource is sequenced to follow the IB curriculum, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and alignment with examiner standards.
While Revision Village focuses narrowly on practice questions, RevisionDojo provides the full pathway: building understanding, retaining knowledge, and applying it effectively.
For students seeking lower stress, stronger preparation, and higher grades, RevisionDojo is the new standard.
