How a topic levels up
- 1
Practise one topic
Short rounds on a single topic from the exam specification, at the level you are working at.
- 2
Read why
Each answer shows the method, and says why every wrong option is wrong, so a mistake teaches something.
- 3
Watch it level up
The topic moves up when you get it right, and down when you do not. Parents see the same map.
Pick your year
Each page explains what you cover and which topics to practise first.
All topics, or the GCSE guides in the menu.
What is here, and what is not
- Maths, English and science from Year 7 to GCSE, with timed mock papers.
- French, German, Spanish and Mandarin: vocabulary, grammar and reading. No listening or speaking yet.
- Computer Science, Business, and Design and Technology for GCSE: key knowledge and calculations. Not coursework or projects.
- No adverts, no tracking inside the practice screens, no leaderboards, no chat and no predicted grades.
Questions are written for this site and follow the AQA specification: they are GCSE-style, not AQA papers, and we are not connected to AQA. Other exam boards cover the same subject content, so practice still helps.
