What it looks like

Your practice, on your phone

  • The Practice tab: a greeting, the pass with a Practise now button, the level reached and the points to the next one, then last week's questions answered, answers right and timed papers sat.
    Your level, last week in numbers, and this week's quests ready.
  • A finished Biology mock: the number right out of the questions in the paper, the time used against the forty minutes allowed, how many questions went over the target time, and the missed ideas due back, then a card with the next step.
    A timed mock marked at once: score, pace, and what to look over next.
  • My statistics, Your level in each topic: a bar for every topic of Mathematics 1 with its level, from Getting started to Mastered, and Mathematics 2 below.
    Your level in every topic, which never falls on one wrong answer.
  • A chart of mock scores over time, one colour per module, with accuracy by module below it.
    Every mock over time, module by module.
  • A scatter of every topic by speed against the target and share right, then a grid of every topic, darker where more of it is answered right.
    Speed and accuracy by topic: quick and right sits top left.
  • My weakest topics: the topics of Mathematics 1 ranked weakest first, each row giving the share right, the pace and the questions left, and opening a drill when tapped.
    Your weakest topics, each one a tap from a drill.
  • The Syllabus tab: Mathematics 1, how much of it has been practised, with a progress bar and the first entries below it.
    The whole syllabus, filling in as you practise.

Timed mocks and topic drills built from unpublished ESAT questions, written for this platform by Lucas Rey.

Over 9,400 practice questions in 230 question types.

Every answer is marked on the server with its full worked solution, and your results are kept by topic, so you can see which ones are costing you marks and what to practise next.

A free account practises the questions from the site, tracked as you go, and unpublished questions only members get, in drills of 5, all marked the same way, then reviews them weakest topics first. Pro opens the timed mocks, drills on any topic, ideas to revisit and the full statistics. Create a free account above, or sign in.

What happens to one question. You answer it. It is marked at once, with the worked solution, and if you chose a wrong option the mistake that option was written to catch is named. Your level in that topic updates at once. An idea you got wrong comes back as a fresh question the next day, then again at gaps that follow how well you know it, so it sticks. Your next step is chosen from all of it.ONE QUESTION, FROM THE MOMENT YOU ANSWER IT1You answer27 in 40 minutes, or tenin a drill2Marked at onceRight or wrong, with theworked solution3Your mistake namedEach wrong option catchesone error4Your level updatesAt once, in that topic5Missed ideas come backAs a fresh question, thenext day, then when dueYour next step is chosen from all of it: the topic, the timing and what you have not seen
