On every question
Ask the tutor
A tutor that knows this question and your paper.
Ask why, ask what to do next or ask where you went wrong. It answers with a hint and a question back first, and the model answer opens once you have tried. You can ask up to 40 times a day.
Solve it with the tutor
Work it out one step at a time.
The question opens as a guide: a hint first, then one reasoning step at a time. Type your own working and have it checked before the next step appears.
Watch it solved
See the working done, with a voice.
A narrated, step-by-step solution builds the working line by line while a voice explains it. Watch it first, then try the question yourself.
Calculation walkthrough
Check each figure as you go.
For numerical questions, type the value of each line of the working and have it checked. If you are stuck you can reveal a line, and the final answer waits until you have made a real attempt.
Practice run
Watch one, complete one, solve one.
A run takes you from a worked example, to one you finish, to one you solve alone. Each stage opens only once you have done the one before.

Type, photograph or scan your answer.
Type it, photograph a handwritten sheet or upload a scan or PDF. You check what was read before it is marked, and the feedback shows where marks were earned and lost. Standard includes 2 marked answers a month and Premium includes 15. Credits cover any extra.

Questions people ask
Are these real past questions?
Yes. They are questions from earlier sittings, shown with the examiner's own answer. Where a rate or a law has moved since the sitting, the question says so above the answer.
Can I practise one sitting at a time?
Yes. Choose a paper and a sitting, such as November 2024, to see that paper's questions together.
Is the answer shown straight away?
No. The model answer opens once you have tried the question.
Can my written answers be marked?
Yes. Type, photograph or scan your answer and it is marked against the examiner's points. Every new account gets 7 days free, with no card.
