Preparing for a selective-entry test, a scholarship exam or a maths competition? SimplyMaths helps Australian students in Years 2 to 8 build exam-day confidence, one paper at a time. Realistic timed mock exams, instant marking, and insights that turn every paper into a simple plan for what to practise next. FOR STUDENTS - A learning path for their year, with lessons and practice in order, so there is always a clear next thing to do. - Full length timed papers that mark themselves the moment they are handed in. Four to six for every year. - Short mini exams sitting beside the module they test, so a topic can be checked while it is still fresh. - Lessons that open on a contents page, with worked examples throughout and picture led explanations for the younger years. - Practice mode with instant feedback, hints when they are stuck, and a clear explanation for every question. - An Insights tab that names a goal, shows what it is costing in marks, and points at the next step. FOR PARENTS - Create and manage every child's profile from the app. - Student login cards with a PIN or password, protected by email verification, and resettable at any time. - Every result the moment a paper is handed in, with the full report. - A dashboard for each child covering scores over time, strengths, focus areas and a suggested plan. - Switch into your child's view whenever you want to see exactly what they see. DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES - No advertising. No third-party analytics. No social features and no messaging between users. - Children sign in with a username and a PIN their parent creates. - Light, dark or system theme, saved for each child. - We collect only what the learning experience needs.

It sits alongside your child's schooling and does not replace a school, a tutor, or professional advice. Scores and bands are estimates to guide study, not a prediction of any real exam result. A SimplyMaths account is required to sign in. Parents can create one at https://simplymaths.au, and there are no purchases inside the app.
