Practice in the eStudyUniverse app means short sets of questions on a subject or topic you choose, graded as soon as you submit. The review that follows shows every answer next to the correct one, with a written explanation where one exists, and names the topics you are weak in.
Setting up a practice set
| Choice | Options |
|---|---|
| Subject and topic | Pick a subject, then a topic or the whole subject |
| Number of questions | 5, 10, 20, or your own number up to 50 |
| Difficulty | Any, easy, medium or hard |
| Question types | Multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blank |
The questions are chosen for you, and questions you have seen recently are skipped so a set does not repeat itself. When a question has a hint, solo practice shows it.
Graded on the server
The answer key is never stored on your phone. Your answers are graded when you submit, which keeps scores fair. A practice set you loaded while online can be played offline; it is graded when the connection returns, so the score appears then.
Reviewing every answer
After a set you can step through each question and see:
- the answer you gave and the correct answer;
- the written explanation, where one has been written, with maths displayed properly;
- any question you flagged while answering.
Filters show All, Correct, Wrong, Unanswered or Flagged questions, so you can start with the ones that cost you marks. Every question has an Ask AI Tutor button that opens the AI Tutor with the question, your answer and the correct answer attached.
Weak and strong topics
The results screen sorts the topics in your set:
| Label | Rule |
|---|---|
| Weak | Under 70% correct, up to five topics shown |
| Strong | 80% correct or more, up to five topics shown |
| Recommended practice | Up to 10 quizzes whose topic tags match your weak topics |
The recommendation is a match on topic tags, not an adaptive learning system. It is a useful starting point for your next session. Our article on what your practice data tells you explains how to read these results over a term.
Which classes have practice questions
The app holds over 40,000 A Level practice questions. Practice is Live for A Level Science and A Level Arts. O Level, A Level Commercial, A Level Technical and concours practice are Coming soon. In the meantime, the past papers library covers every level.
Past papers as questions
Some past papers can also be played question by question, in paper order, with the same grading and review. Only papers that have been converted appear there, and interactive papers for most subjects are still coming soon; the full papers are in the library as PDFs.
Limits worth knowing
- Objective questions only. Practice uses multiple choice, true or false and fill in the blank. There are no essay or structured answers, and no marking of written work.
- Fill-in-the-blank matching. Answers are compared with a list of accepted answers, so an unusual but correct phrasing can be marked wrong.
- Explanations where written. Not every question has a written explanation yet.
- Subjects need enough questions. A subject or topic appears only when enough questions have been approved for it.
