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 wording your course uses and marks them the way a marker would, so a 2-mark question earns its process mark and its accuracy mark, not a tick.
Real screens from the app, test accounts only, captured from an English student's account. The panels are the same here, with your own courses and grades in them.
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 style of the course
The command words and the mark allocations your course actually uses, at the level you are sitting. Each question is written for the pupil 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
Against the published marking instructions, a mark for the process and a mark 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 pathPrelims, the S3 subject choice, the exam diet, results day, university deadlines: a timeline from this year to leaving school, built from national dates and the school's own calendar.
- FutureThe S3 subject choice, which Highers to take in S5, what S6 is for, and university applications. Pip asks more than it tells, checks what feels easy against what scores well, and shows what each route requires, with the source.
