## What is Pointsmax?

Real Leaving Cert past-paper questions, sorted by topic and by how often they come up, with the official SEC marking schemes. Pointsmax turns them into a short daily study session and works out your CAO points.

TODAY'S SESSION
Each study day you get one subject, one topic and a day plan. Early on it's flashcards and past questions (Learn). As your scores climb it adds more questions and, on longer study days, a timed section (Practise), and closer to June it moves to timed sections and full papers (Exam). Your weekly plan is built from your latest results, so the subjects you're weakest in get more days. Home also shows this week's stats and where you left off. Rest days never break your streak.

SUBJECT PAGES
Every subject has an illustrated page with an exam guide for each paper (marks, sections, timing and what usually comes up), its topics ranked by how often they've been asked, a question finder (topic, year, level, length) and the past papers by year.

REAL PAST QUESTIONS, REAL MARKING SCHEMES
Questions show as they were printed on the SEC paper, diagrams included, with the text, map or photo they're based on. Listening questions in Irish and Music play the SEC recording. Reveal the marking scheme and tick the points you got, with a worked answer and examiner tips alongside.

ASK ABOUT THIS QUESTION
On devices with Apple Intelligence, ask follow-up questions about a past question. Answers are based on its marking scheme and worked answer and are generated on your device.

PRACTICE
Flashcards spaced to your exam date, a definitions bank where you type the examiner's wording and see how close you got, and timed exams: a full paper or a single section on a real clock with no pause, followed by a time-leak report.

CAO POINTS
Enter your grades and a target course to see your points total and the cheapest grade bumps to get there.

STUDY SQUADS
Start a squad with up to five friends: a shared streak, a weekly goal and a grid of who studied when. Opt in to your school's leaderboard. No chat and no account.

YOUR SUBJECTS, HIGHER AND ORDINARY LEVEL
English, Irish, Maths, Applied Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Agricultural Science, Geography, History, Business, Accounting, Economics, Politics and Society, Spanish, Home Economics, Art, Music, Construction Studies, Engineering, DCG, Technology, Computer Science, PE and Religious Education. Papers from 2020 to 2026 for most subjects, from 2015 for Maths and from 2001 for English and Irish.

ONE PURCHASE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED
Every topic, question and flashcard in every subject you sit, unlimited timed exams, the CAO points calculator and the definitions bank. No subscription, no ads, no account, and it works offline.

ALSO
A short guided tour, light and dark mode, landscape on iPhone, a home-screen widget, and an Apple Watch companion with your countdown, streak and flashcards. Pointsmax runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, with a companion app for Apple TV.
