The OU Study app is for Open University students who are registered on a course or qualification. Sign in using your OU username and password (the same one you use to sign in to the website). Free or paid-for learning content from partners such as OpenLearn or FutureLearn is not available in the app.  If you're experiencing any unexplained issues, check our Troubleshooting guide: https://learn1.open.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=100187&cmid=22860 For any urgent and access queries, contact the computing helpdesk at ou-scdhd@open.ac.uk. USEFUL TIPS - There is a lot of information on your module website. So, it will take a few minutes for the app to load the first time you use it. Use a Wi-Fi connection for your first use. As the app caches some information, it will get quicker. - Download learning materials individually and batch download by week using Course downloads. Return to the Planner to access downloaded materials. If you need to free up space, delete them from the Course downloads screen. - The Planner within the app remembers the week you were studying last time. So, you can continue studying easily. You can always navigate to the current week to keep track of the key dates. - The OU Study app and your module website are synced. As you tick completed resources or save an answer, both the module website and the app are updated. - The majority of your module activities will be available in the app. Yet, for some, you will be directed to your browser to use the mobile version of the module website. - We try to prioritise requirements based on user feedback. If you have any feedback or suggestions, use the Feedback function within the app or leave a review on the App Store. We regret that we can’t always reply to these directly, but we’re keen to hear your thoughts.

A key stage 2 revision app for Year 6 primary school children coming up to taking SATS — the ten and eleven year olds sitting their tests in May. It practises maths, grammar, punctuation, spelling and reading against the Year 6 national curriculum, works out which topics keep going wrong, and spends the time there. Ten minutes a day as a regular habit A revision timetable counts backwards from test week and asks for something every day: a short warm-up, then the mix today needs. Streaks reward turning up, and rest days are built in so one busy evening does not wipe out weeks of work. Wrong answer analysis to structure the revision Every answer updates a picture of what your child can do, topic by topic across 98 skills. Questions come back on a spaced schedule — sooner for the shaky ones, later once they have stuck. A focus session serves nothing but the topics that keep going wrong. The best spelling test out there! Ten words from the statutory Year 5 and 6 list, read aloud one at a time with ten seconds to write/type each — the way the real spelling paper is administered. Words spelt correctly come round less often; words that keep going wrong are repeated. Squared paper for maths Long multiplication and division get a proper working grid with carry boxes, so a child can set the sum out as they would on paper instead of holding it in their head. Practice papers in full All six papers a child actually sits, at their real lengths, including the spelling paper read from recordings and three reading texts to work through. What you get More than 750 written questions, nine original reading texts, and every explanation, spelling sentence and hint written for this app. Nothing is copied from past papers, textbooks or revision guides. The arithmetic is generated fresh every time, so it never runs out. Built with tech savvy kids in mind (and those who try to give their answers an artificial boost!) The app has its own keyboard: no autocorrect, no predictive text and no microphone, so a spelling answer is the child's own. It notices when they leave mid-question, and works with Guided Access to keep them in the app. So they can't cheat that easily! Progress reports in the same app that parents can use A topic-by-topic view of what is secure, what is coming along and what needs work — in plain English, with the curriculum skill written out. Totally safe and private No account, no sign-in, no adverts, no analytics, no tracking and no network requests at all. Progress is a single file on the device, and Settings can erase it. There are no leaderboards and no comparison with other children. No In-App purchases One app. Everything is included. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department for Education or the Standards and Testing Agency. The practice papers are our own work, not past papers.
