Build your quiz: practise exactly what you choose

Written by A Dagdelen · Reviewed

Sometimes the useful practice is the unit your child has just finished, or the one a test is coming up in. Build your quiz lets you pick the subject, the units and how many questions, and makes a mixed quiz from them.

  • 10, 20 or 30questions, your choice
  • Any unitsfrom one subject in your child's year
  • Mixedquestions from all the units you pick
  • Familyplan feature, free for 14 days to try

How it works

  1. You choose the subject. Each quiz is for one subject, from the subjects on the site for your child's year.
  2. You choose the units. Tick one unit or several. Units are the topics the lessons are grouped into, such as fractions or the Norman Conquest, so you can aim at what school is teaching now.
  3. You choose how long it is. Ten questions is a quick check, twenty is a proper sit-down, thirty is for a revision session. The quiz mixes questions from the units you picked, up to the number you chose.
  4. It uses the same kind of questions as the lessons. There is nothing new to learn: the questions come from the lessons' own quizzes, so what your child has practised in lessons is what they are asked.
  5. Results go to the parent report. Finished quizzes count towards the scores and topics you see in the parents' area.

How to use it at home

Match it to school

When your child's class starts a new topic, build a quiz on the unit before it to check what has stuck.

Check before a test

A week before a test, pick the units it covers and take a twenty-question quiz to see where to spend the time.

Keep it to one sitting

Ten or twenty questions you finish is better than thirty you abandon.

Let them choose sometimes

A child who picks the unit has already decided to practise it.
