Every test you mark stays ready for next time.

The question bank keeps uploaded tests with their questions and marking criteria. Teachers can link questions to curriculum concepts, check suggested links and find questions by topic when preparing another assessment. Confirmed links help organise the bank; unlinked questions may still cover the material you are looking for.

Question bank

Link each question to what it tests.

Choose the curriculum once for the whole test. Then, question by question, pick an area and ask for suggested concepts. Suggestions are only suggestions: nothing is saved until you press Confirm. Try it below.

  1. 1Choose the curriculum for the testIt applies to every question in that test.
  2. 2Pick an area and find matchesSuggested concepts are marked for you to check.
  3. 3Confirm the linksOnly Confirm saves. The area carries to the next question.
  4. 4Find questions by topicDrill to a concept to see every question linked to it.

Concepts to linkNo concepts selected yet. Choose a concept from the area or add a suggestion.
Add from this area by hand

Only Confirm saves these links. The same curriculum area carries forward to the next question.

Pick an area, then press Find matches. Suggested concepts are marked for you to check. Untick anything that does not fit, add others by hand, then confirm.

Example data. Suggestions are only offered for an area of 40 concepts or fewer, so pick a subtopic rather than a whole course.
Browse by topic

Drill from topic to concept, and see every question on it.

Browse the curriculum in columns. Each concept shows how many of your questions are linked to it, with the source test, marks and the class average. Tick questions to start a new test from them. Links you confirmed above appear here too.

Build a curriculum

Three passes, all reviewable.

Upload an exam-board specification as a PDF, Word, CSV, text or Markdown file, or paste the topic list. You see every row before anything is saved. Or start with an empty curriculum and add topics yourself.Upload or paste a specification, or start blank. You see every row before anything is saved.

  1. 1StructureTopic, subtopic, group, concept.
  2. 2DefinitionsA one-sentence anchor for each concept.
  3. 3ReviewEdit, reorder, accept or skip, then commit.
  1. 1StructureThe specification is read into topics, subtopics, concept groups and concepts.Topic→Subtopic→Group→Concept
  2. 2DefinitionsEach concept gets a one-sentence definition to anchor it. Definitions you wrote yourself are kept when you import again.Activation energy: the minimum energy particles need to react when they collide.
  3. 3ReviewEdit names, remove noise, add anything missing and reorder, then commit the structure. Suggested items are flagged so you can tell them apart.AcceptSkipEdit
What it doesn't do
  • Generate flashcards or revision notes
  • Overwrite definitions you wrote yourself
  • Add concepts you didn't approve
  • Share your specification with anyone else
Which plan includes itEvery account can browse the curricula available to it and use them for tests and analysis. A shared curriculum can be used as it is, or you can create a personal, department or school version to edit.
Examiner guidance

Add what the examiners said, next to the mark scheme.

At test setup you can drop in the exam board's examiner report as a PDF. Notes are pulled out for each question and you review them before marking. You can also type examiner comments into any question yourself.Upload the board's examiner report at test setup, or type comments per question. You review them before marking.

  • Advisory only: it supports the mark scheme and never replaces it.
  • Used with the mark scheme when feedback is drafted.
  • Kept with the question in the bank, and copied when you copy a test.
Q4 · Explain why increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction. [4]
  • Particles move faster, so they have more energy (1)
  • They collide more often (1)
  • More collisions have energy equal to or above the activation energy (1)
  • So there are more successful collisions per second (1)
Example data. Examiner guidance is advisory; the mark scheme decides the mark.
Reuse a test

Last year's test, this year's class.

Start marking from a saved test and a saved class, and setup only asks for what is still missing. Choose how you want to reuse the test to see what carries over.Pick how you reuse a test to see what carries over.

Saved classesAdd a class once and reuse it for every test. Paste names straight from a spreadsheet or import a file. Optional columns hold an identifier, targets, predicted grades, baselines, and student and parent emails.If uploaded scripts include a student's identifier, they link to the right student automatically. Parent emails give families portal access to results you release. Classes your school manages centrally are locked; you can ask your head of department for a change.

What you control

Your library, your links, your versions.

Nothing links to your curriculum until you confirm it. Re-importing keeps the definitions you wrote. Department tests are locked by version, so every teacher marks the same paper. Examiner comments are advisory and never replace the mark scheme.

Nothing links without youSuggested concepts are marked as suggestions. Only Confirm saves a link, and you can add or remove concepts by hand at any time.
Your curriculum stays yoursImports add nothing you did not approve, keep definitions you wrote, and your specification is not shared with anyone else.
Department tests are locked by versionShare a test with your department, or send it to your head of department to review. They check details, marks, guidance, paper rules and curriculum links, then lock a version.
Copies never touch the originalCopying a test or building one from bank questions makes a new draft. Your original questions and tests do not change.
