FOUR WAYS TO PRACTISE - Self Practice — choose any topic from your child's year group - Smart Practice — an AI-picked weekly focus, with questions adapted to your child - Challenge Mode — timed challenges to build speed and confidence - Skills Check — short checks that build a map of what your child has truly mastered RETRY ZONE — MASTER YOUR MISTAKES Every wrong answer, from any practice mode, is automatically captured. Your child retries it later; two correct answers and it's graduated. No more repeating what they already know — just focused practice on real weak spots.
