Success Rate

Lets address your questions today!

Retrieval practice is a proven learning method that strengthens memory by prompting students to recall previously learned material. It enhances long-term retention and exam readiness through repetition and spaced review.

While inspired by Dr Frost’s approach, this platform is custom-built for HGS Maths, offering lighter performance, custom question pools, flexible topic control, and integrated progress tracking—all within a cleaner interface.

Yes. The backend provides a simple CMS for adding new questions, categorizing them by year or topic, and setting difficulty levels for adaptive generation.

100%. The responsive UI is optimized for tablets, phones, and classroom smartboards, enabling students to revise anytime, anywhere.

Initially focused on Maths (Years 11–13), the platform can easily be extended to other subjects with a similar question-bank structure.

 

All data is stored securely on a VPS under encrypted communication. The system enforces access roles and regular backups for reliability.
