A New Way To Revise Is Here

Let’s be real, revision can be boring. Endless notes, reading the same stuff over and over, hoping something sticks. But what if revising for your English GCSE actually felt useful and even (dare we say it) a little bit fun? Well, get ready, because we’ve got something new that might just change the game.

Flashcards – But Not As You Know Them

We’re launching a brand-new flashcard feature that lets you take control of your revision like never before. No more boring, one-size-fits-all revision tools – these flashcards are fully customisable and designed by you. Here’s what you can do:

  • Create your own flashcards for each lesson – type in a question on one side, answer on the other.
  • Flip, edit, and organise them however you like.
  • Change background colours and text styles to make them actually readable.
  • Add extra text boxes to structure your answers the way you want.
  • Save, test, and track your progress – all in one place.

This means you’re not just passively reading notes, you’re actively testing yourself and making sure you really understand what’s going on in Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, or Power and Conflict poetry (because let’s be honest, those context points are crucial).

Quizzes + Flashcards = Revision That Works

We didn’t stop at flashcards. You can now test yourself in a way that actually makes sense. Here’s how:

  • Use your own flashcards in test mode – go through them, see what you know, and track what you still need to work on.
  • Mix in quizzes for a more structured challenge – perfect for those moments when you want a quick knowledge check.
  • Get instant feedback – so you’re never left wondering if you’re on the right track.

And the best part? Everything is in one place. No more random post-it notes floating around or five different revision apps. Just one clean, organised dashboard where you can see everything at a glance.

What’s Next? Even More Flashcards (Without the Work)

Right now, you can make your own flashcards, but very soon, we’re adding even more functionality. We’re working on pre-made flashcards for every major topic, meaning you’ll have ready-to-go revision cards created by experts. You’ll still be able to edit and customise them, but if you’re short on time (or just don’t know where to start), they’ll be a total lifesaver.

So, if you’re gearing up for GCSEs and want a revision tool that actually works, it’s time to check this out. Say goodbye to stressy last-minute cramming and hello to a smarter way to revise.
