Question 1

Is this affiliated with ACER or AAS?

Accepted Answer

No. We're not connected to ACARA, ACER, Academic Assessment Services, Edutest, ICAS Assessments, Janison, or any school. Papers are written independently to each board's published format.

Question 2

How are the questions generated?

Accepted Answer

Maths and reasoning papers are built from templates that produce a new set of numbers, names and figures every sitting. English, Humanities and Reading papers are assembled from a bank of original texts — same format each time, different passages and questions.

Question 3

Is it the same as the real exam?

Accepted Answer

No practice material is. We follow what each board publishes and we match the interface. We don't have the real papers, and neither does anyone else selling practice tests.

Question 4

What year should he start?

Accepted Answer

Most families start the year before the sitting — Year 5 for a Year 7 entry exam.

Question 5

What exams can we practise today?

Accepted Answer

Scholarship papers for ACER, AAS and EduTest, ICAS Mathematics, English and Science Papers Intro–H (Years 2–10), and NAPLAN Year 5. SEAL is next.

Question 6

Does “unlimited” really mean unlimited?

Accepted Answer

For generated papers — maths and reasoning — yes. Each sitting is assembled fresh, so there is no shelf to empty. Bank papers (ICAS English, Humanities, Reading) are a published set: you can re-sit them, but we do not mint a new English paper on every click the way the engine does for maths.

Question 7

Won't they just memorise the papers?

Accepted Answer

That's the problem this is built around. A fixed pack of papers stops teaching the second time through. Generated papers are new every sitting — same sections, same timing, same difficulty, different questions — so the second sitting measures what they've learned rather than what they've remembered.

Question 8

Can I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Any time, from your account. Billing is weekly, so the most you can be holding is one week you've stopped using — and access runs to the end of the week you've paid for.

Question 9

How do I review answers?

Accepted Answer

Every question has a worked explanation once the paper is marked, and it stays with the attempt so you can come back to it. Answers and explanations come with a plan; the score and the sitting itself are free. Open the report from that sitting and the solutions are one tap away.

Question 10

What devices work?

Accepted Answer

The papers run in the browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. There is no app to install. An iPad works in portrait too.

Question 11

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

In Australian dollars, by card, through Stripe. We never see or store the card details. Cancelling and refunds are on the Policies page.

Question 12

What is my username?

Accepted Answer

The email address you signed in with. There is no separate username. If you joined with Google, it is that account's email.
