Why marks get lost

Marks are rarely lost where you think

  1. Every unit gets the same hours

    Revising the whole syllabus evenly feels safe. But units carry different marks, and the units costing you marks are not the ones costing your friends.

  2. Past papers, without the reasoning

    A mark scheme gives the answer. It does not tell you why the other option was a trap, or what the examiner wanted to see.

  3. Nobody reads your own answers

    Notes and videos are the same for everyone. What helps is someone looking at your answers and saying which unit to fix first.

The Exam Pack is built around exactly this: it marks your answers, shows you the reasoning, and puts your weakest units first.

See how it works

What a result looks like in the pack: your mark, where you stand and the units to fix first.

Inside the app

From your first test to a one-to-one, in one app

Seven steps, in the order you meet them. Scroll through, and the phone shows each one the way it looks when you sign in.

  1. Free

    Start with a free unit test

    10 questions, 12 minutes, one unit at a time. It is marked the moment you submit and every answer shows its reasoning, so you know what you really know before you spend an hour revising it.

    Take a free unit test
  2. Free

    Open the app to the Nine Arch train

    Your dashboard is the Nine Arch Bridge with a train crossing it. Every lit window is a student studying right now, and yours turns orange once you have studied today. The sky is the real one where you are. Under it: your streak, and this week's goal of 50 questions and 2 unit tests.

  3. Free

    See every unit's score on one card

    Exam readiness keeps your best score on every unit, shows which ones are ready and which are not, and names the unit to fix first. It is built from tests you actually sat, never from time spent on the site. With the Exam Pack, two ranked Paper I sittings add where you stand and a week-by-week study plan.

  4. Short Notes · also in the Exam Pack

    Learn it from notes that move

    Every examined lesson of units 1 to 13, in English and Sinhala, with a mind map for every unit. Each note draws itself in as it opens, and every unit has one step-by-step animation of its hardest idea, ready to replay as often as you need.

RAMvsROM

Weak answer

RAM stores data temporarily. ROM stores data permanently.

Full-marks answer

RAM is volatile and can be both read from and written to, while ROM is non-volatile and is generally read-only — so RAM loses its contents when the power is off, but ROM does not.
