How the marking works

Each question is marked the moment it is answered, and the explanation appears straight away while the question is still fresh. A test that only gives a score at the end teaches a student what they scored; a test that explains each answer teaches them why. At the end you get a marked paper listing every question that was missed, with a topic-by-topic breakdown of strengths and focus areas, so the next revision session has somewhere obvious to start.

A question from this quiz

Which rational number lies exactly halfway between 1/3 and 1/2?

7/12
5/6
5/12
2/5

Answer: 5/12

The rational number halfway between two numbers is their arithmetic mean: (1/3 + 1/2) / 2 = (2/6 + 3/6) / 2 = (5/6) / 2 = 5/12.

How to use it at home

Sit the quiz once cold, without notes, and keep the marked paper. Revise only the topics the paper flags, then take it again a week later: the second score is the one worth talking about, because it measures what changed rather than what was already known. The marked paper is often more useful than the score itself, since it names the topic rather than saying a student is "weak in ICSE Class 8 maths".
