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
What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 18?
- 6
- 72
- 216
- 36
Answer: 36
The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, and the multiples of 18 are 18, 36, 54. The smallest multiple common to both numbers is 36.
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 Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 Core".
