How it works · Practice
Original questions, marked like the exam
Practice is where weak spots go to be fixed. Fincho writes fresh questions in the board's wording and marks them the way an examiner would, so a 2-mark question earns M1 and A1, not a tick.
Real screens from the app, test accounts only. Names and marks are not a real family's.
Adding fractions, one question at a time
Tom asks to practise adding fractions with different denominators. A question written for him, at his level, appears as a card with an answer box. He asks for a hint and gets a nudge, not the method. He answers 2/7, which is wrong in exactly the way his test was wrong.
The marking card shows the mark scheme point he missed, in examiner language, and a two-sentence explanation. A new version of the same question follows straight away. Tomorrow it comes back again with different numbers, and keeps coming back until it holds.
In the board's style
AQA or Edexcel command words, realistic marks, the right tier. Each question is written for the student in front of it: their year, their level as Pip currently reads it, and what they got right and wrong last time.
Hint before answer
A first hint points at what to look at, a second gives the next step. The full working comes only on the third request, and Pip notes that it did.
Marked point by point
M1 for the method, A1 for the answer. The feedback names the exact slip, which is how it becomes a weak spot or closes one.
Spaced review
A wrong answer gets a new version straight away, then comes back tomorrow, then at three, seven, fourteen and thirty days, each time with new numbers, until it holds. Nothing is drilled that is already secure.
What parents see
You see practice results by subject: questions attempted, accuracy, weak spots opened and closed.
More of what Fincho does
- Schoolwork reviewTell Pip the score, show it the paper. It reads the wrong answers, spots that three mistakes are one habit, explains the costly one, and remembers the rest for practice.
- GradesUpload the report as photos or a PDF. Pip reads the grade codes, learns your school's format, shows a table to check, and talks the report through with the student.
- Exam pathMocks, GCSE options, sixth-form applications, exam weeks, results days, UCAS deadlines: a timeline from this year to A Level results, built from national dates and the school's own calendar.
- FutureYear 9 options, Year 11 A Level choices, Year 12 courses and UCAS. Pip asks more than it tells, checks what feels easy against what scores well, and shows what each route requires, with the source.
