A Level revision for Year 12 and Year 13

What your child can practise in A Level

• Maths

  Pure maths (proof, algebra and functions, graphs and transformations, sequences, the binomial expansion, radians and trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation and integration with their techniques, differential equations, parametric equations, numerical methods and vectors), statistics (sampling, probability, the binomial and normal distributions, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression) and mechanics (kinematics, forces, moments, projectiles and modelling). The content is common to the AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR A Level specifications, and the large data set skills cover Pearson Edexcel's Met Office data. Each skill has multiple-choice, typed-answer and extended-response questions with worked examples and mark schemes.

• Statistics

  A first set of Edexcel standalone Statistics practice: data summaries, sampling, probability, binomial and normal models, hypothesis-test concepts and regression, with short numerical responses, worked help and key-term flashcards. Coverage is partial; full A-level Statistics mocks are not yet available.

• English Language

  The levels of language analysis (phonetics and phonology, graphology, lexis and semantics, grammar, pragmatics, discourse), mode and context, spoken language and transcripts, variation and Standard English, language change, child language acquisition, comparing texts, original writing with commentary and investigation methods. Language and power, language and gender, language and technology, global Englishes, language and journalism and language discourses are tagged to the boards that examine them (AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Eduqas). Each skill has multiple-choice, typed-answer and extended-response questions with worked examples and model answers.

• English Literature

  The skills every board rewards: the five assessment objectives and building an argument, critical terminology, analysing poetry, prose fiction and drama, contexts and critical approaches (including Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic and postcolonial readings), comparing texts, responding to unseen poetry and prose, and the genres of tragedy and comedy. Set-text questions for Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, The Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Antony and Cleopatra, Henry IV Part 1, Richard III, The Winter's Tale, Doctor Faustus, The Duchess of Malfi, The Importance of Being Earnest, A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, The Great Gatsby, The Handmaid's Tale and Wuthering Heights are tagged to the boards that list them, and so are the poets Donne, Keats, Blake, Coleridge, Rossetti, Barrett Browning, Clare, Hardy, Yeats and Lawrence; other poetry, drama and prose texts are being added. Each skill has multiple-choice, typed-answer and extended-response questions with worked examples and model answers.

• Biology, Chemistry and Physics

  A first set of A Level questions: cell structure, enzymes and DNA replication in biology; moles and titrations, electron configuration, the periodic table and rates of reaction in chemistry; and kinematics, momentum and work, energy and power in physics. Each subject will grow, and board-specific options are not covered yet.

Practice that focuses on what your child finds hard

Most quizzes show a child what they already know. Revision Ladder is built around the opposite. When a question goes wrong, that topic does not disappear: it returns in future practice, quizzes and revision activities, so your child gets repeated chances to strengthen their understanding and eventually get it right.

• Targets what you find hard

  Questions adapt to the student. Topics they get wrong come back in later sessions until they are secure, so revision time goes where it is needed.

• Worked solutions and mark schemes

  Every question explains the answer. Longer maths questions have mark schemes that show where marks are gained, not only the final answer.

• Choose your subjects

  Students tick the A Level subjects they take and only get questions for those. Subjects without questions yet are marked coming soon.

How it works

1. You set up the account in about a minute. Parents hold the account.
2. Add your child with a nickname and their stage. No other personal details are needed.
3. A short starter activity finds their level, then practice adapts as they go.
4. You see what they have been working on and where they could use more support.

A Level questions parents ask

Which A Level subjects are available?

Maths and English Language are available now, along with the core skills of English Literature (set-text questions are being added), a first set of science practice and Edexcel Statistics starter practice. Other subjects are listed as coming soon and are added as they are written and checked. This page lists only what is live.

Which exam boards does it cover?

Students choose their board and course for each subject. Maths follows the content shared by AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR, with the Edexcel large data set written so far. English Language follows AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Eduqas, and topics that only some boards examine are shown only to those boards. Science and Further Maths are not board-specific yet. Check your own specification for anything that differs.

Are there A Level mock exams?

Not yet. A Level mocks are coming soon and will only be offered once a paper matches the real paper's timing, marks and format. Until then the practice questions are the main feature, and any marks shown are practice estimates, not official marks.

Does it replace teaching or tutoring?

No. It supports what is taught in class by giving regular, targeted practice on the topics a student finds hardest.

How much does it cost and can we try it first?

Every family gets a free 14-day trial with no card needed and no automatic charge. After that A Level is a simple monthly or yearly plan, and family plans cover several children.
