How learning fits together

See a learning journey
  1. Choose a course

    Pick the course you’re studying. Open its first lesson, or try a starting check where one is available.

  2. Learn and practise

    Read a lesson, work through an example and try a problem. This is for practice only and doesn’t count towards your course progress.

  3. Check your progress

    When you feel ready, answer a check on your own. Your result can count towards your course progress. If you don’t pass yet, practise and check again.

  4. Retention check

    Come back for a review when it’s due to see whether it has stuck. Your result can count towards your course progress.

Learning

Choose the course you study

Choose the course and syllabus edition you study.

Choose Primary 1–6, the relevant secondary course, or H1/H2 Mathematics. Teaching syllabuses and examination qualifications are listed separately on course pages.

Published lessons and checks cover selected topics. A course marked in preparation is not yet available, and the available materials do not cover the whole syllabus.

Learning

What counts as progress

Pass a progress check independently to record course progress.

Use a starting check to find what to learn next. Lessons, worked examples and practice help you prepare. If you need more practice, revisit the lesson and try a fresh check. Repeating an answer you’ve seen is practice.

Online results cover only the skills assessed. A check covers the named skills and cannot establish that you know an entire course.

In My learning, you can see your course, saved recent work, progress and next step. Opening a page doesn’t count as passing. Use a later review to check what you remember, or a mock exam to practise timing and choosing questions.

A lesson marked done records what you’ve worked through. Completed practice records participation. Independent checks show what you can do, and later reviews show what you have retained. These are separate from the number of activities finished in your daily plan.

Learning

Practice and topic checks

Choose a course and topic in Practice to find an activity.

Filter by task or answer format to find a suitable activity. Topic checks bring together Start, Practise, Check and Review; the next step changes as you work, and you can choose another available step.

Start checks what you already know. Practise offers questions with feedback. Check asks you to work independently; a later Review checks what you remember. Where a choice names particular skills, its result covers those skills rather than the whole topic.

Written practice focuses on calculations and written answers. The Practice builder lets you choose topics, question count and available answer formats. Ordinary practice helps you prepare; it does not replace a passed progress check.

Where available, a course check samples across your course to help you choose what to study next. Mock exams let you practise a paper’s structure, timing and questions. Simulations let you explore a model by changing its settings.

To return to an unfinished attempt, open My learning → Unfinished work or the activity’s Continue option. Available saving and resume times depend on your account; check the saving status before leaving.

Shareable practice, papers and recipes

Create a shareable set in the Practice builder.

Choose a course, topic and length. Everyone who receives its link gets the same questions in their own attempt. You can also choose an official paper to compose a complete paper with Premium, or partial paper practice with a free account. Preview its scope, marks and time before starting.

My shared sets lists the forms you have made. Filter active and past forms, copy a link, stop sharing or archive a form. A saved recipe keeps your settings, rather than a fixed question set: generating from it uses the current question pool and counts as a new creation. Some questions may repeat.

How long things last

  • Links to checks and mock papers keep working. A link to a set, paper or targeted practice you made takes new starts for 7 days after you share it.
  • A set, paper or targeted practice you haven't shared is kept for 30 days. A saved recipe you don't use for 90 days is removed.
  • A mock paper always keeps its exam time limit.
  • If Premium ends, you keep everything you made and its links keep their dates. You can still share or archive it, but a new set, paper or targeted practice needs room in the free account's limits.

Accounts and saving

Free accounts

Public lessons, tools, practice and checks are available without an account. Without an account you can open the first worked example in each lesson; a free account opens the rest.

Without an account, checks show your marks and score. Explanations and your answer-by-answer review need a free account. Sign in from your results and that review stays on this device for 3 hours, ready when you return.

Without an account you can start 2 practice sets and checks a day on this device. A free account gives 5 a day and 1 mock paper preview of 5 questions. Premium has no daily limit and full mock papers. Repair practice after a check and due reviews don't count. Each day starts at midnight, Singapore time.

One free Mini Education account works across the subject sites, while each subject’s learning stays separate.

A free account can keep eligible completed learning and bookmarks together across devices. Unfinished work, guided positions and browser-only data have separate saving rules, described below. Check the status shown beside your work before leaving it.

Saving and sync

Check the saving status before leaving your work or changing devices.

When you’re signed in, completed work that supports sync can save to your account using your existing settings, without another sign-up step. Signing in again keeps your pause or stop setting. Earlier Guest work is imported only when you choose to add it.

Check the saving status: “Saved on this device” means only this browser has your work. “Pending” means it hasn’t reached your account. “Synced” means your account has it. “Unavailable” means we couldn’t check. “Stopped” means syncing is paused until you turn it back on.

To resume, choose Continue in the activity or open My learning → Unfinished work. Saving or continuing does not extend the deadline; after it passes, start a new attempt.

Completed work that supports sync and saved Premium unfinished attempts can carry between devices. Free unfinished answers and guided lesson positions stay in this browser. Full or blocked browser storage can prevent saving.

Stopping learning sync affects future uploads; it does not remove the learning already saved online. Resetting online learning and clearing browser data are separate actions.

Import Guest learning

Signing in does not automatically import earlier Guest work.

Only import work done by the selected learner. A child session needs an adult to change learner.

Your device copy stays in place. Imported lesson marks preserve their supported original dates and only fill an empty account lesson record. They record participation, rather than independent understanding.

Unfinished attempts, bookmarks, written answers and local mastery states are not part of this Guest import. Bookmarks have their own sync controls. Cleared, unsupported or out-of-date records cannot be recovered by importing.

Import earlier Guest learning

  1. Open My learning and review the offered completed multiple-choice practice results, saved plan steps and self-reported lesson marks.
  2. Choose the learner the work belongs to.
  3. Review the selection and confirm the import. Your device copy stays in place.

Bookmarks and bookmark sync

Find saved pages in My learning → Bookmarks.

Search, filter by course or type, or sort by save date. Choose Save on a page, then View bookmarks to find it again. As a guest, Save can bring you back to the page after free registration.

Bookmarks sync by default with a free or Premium account. In Manage sync, Stop syncing keeps the account copy; Stop and remove from my account also removes that online copy. Device copies stay. Check the confirmation before changing saved data. Signing in again keeps your saved sync choice.

Appearance and reading settings

Change your display and reading settings in Account → Appearance.

Choose your theme, reading font, line spacing and reading width. Guest choices stay on this device. Signed-in accounts use default appearance until you make changes; your edits save across subjects.

Copy this browser’s appearance replaces your account’s theme and reading settings with the choices saved in this browser. Copying is optional. Reset to defaults restores the display settings and keeps learning and bookmarks.

Show section links adds a copyable link beside major lesson headings. Premium’s Expand worked examples by default opens example banners when a lesson starts; hints and solutions stay closed until you open them. Revision Mode hides embedded questions, activities and worked examples so you can read the notes; turn it off to restore the full lesson. These two Premium choices follow your account across subjects and devices.

Continue reading remembers where you stop in lessons in this browser. Turning it off removes saved places. A saved reading place is separate from lesson completion, course progress and a guided session’s position.

Reading lessons offline

With supported Premium access, choose Save for offline on a lesson or topic.

Lessons and their figures are saved on this device so you can read without an internet connection. Topic checks, coaching and sync still need a connection.

Connect at least once every 30 days to confirm Premium. Saved copies belong to this device; signing out or changing account removes them.

In Offline pages, search your saved pages, open a copy or remove it. Download saved list exports the list of pages, rather than the lesson files. Remove all deletes this device’s offline copies, separately from saved learning and account data.

Export, clear or reset learning data

Browser data, online learning and your account have separate export and deletion controls.

Browser-data controls export or clear this subject’s attempts, results, bookmarks and progress for the current account or Guest in this browser. Clearing includes records waiting to sync. Reading, course and display preferences stay, and nothing saved online is removed. Guest work that has not been imported has no account copy; export it first if you want to keep it.

Reset online learning removes this subject’s synced learning from your account and prevents older devices from restoring it. It does not clear browser-only work, and it cannot clear a browser while that browser is offline. Stopping sync pauses future uploads without deleting the online copy.

Account-data export and account deletion are separate controls in Account. They cover your Mini Education account rather than just one browser’s subject data. Review the confirmation and export anything you want to keep before clearing or deleting.

Families and classes

Learning with a child

Start with the child’s course and let them try a question.

Talk through their thinking together; use the lesson, examples and hints when an idea needs more time. Reading and practice record participation. A check shows only the skills and questions it covered, rather than mastery of an entire topic.

Younger learners can use managed learner options when an adult has set them up. In the guardian view, choose a course to see the child’s saved lesson marks, skill evidence, reviews and recent activity. Browser-only work is not included, and missing records remain unknown.

To practise together, enter the child’s supervised session through Account. Opening a report does not change learner, start a supervised session or record completion. Sign-in, saving and managed access depend on the current account service; unavailable account services do not remove public lessons.

Learning history and dates

My learning shows your saved work and learning history.

Explore saved lesson marks, completed tasks, skill evidence and retained checks. Use the history measure and date range to explore earlier records. Each measure uses its own recorded observations; missing history stays unknown.

Recent activity dates use Singapore time. Lesson and guided-session dates come from your device; assessment dates come from saved completions. Lesson-count snapshots show when your account observed its saved state. If your device clock is ahead, the date your account received the action is used.

A completed lesson or practice attempt records work you have done. Independent checks and later reviews provide separate evidence of understanding and retention; a history total does not replace that evidence.

Learning reports and report history

Open My learning → Reports to view and download a learning report.

Basic progress reports and printing are free with an account. Exporting your own retained learning data stays free.

With a free account, recent activity can cover up to 28 days where records are available. Missing dates remain unknown.

Your reporting history builds from recorded learning activity. Reports show the first available dates and any gaps; Premium cannot recreate earlier activity that was not recorded or is no longer kept.

Detailed reporting needs its own released access for the selected course. A Premium or Preview label alone does not establish that access. Reading a report does not start personalised practice or turn on email.

If detailed reporting access ends, current progress, recent summaries, basic printing and own-data export remain available. Extra history is kept only within its original expiry and for up to 30 days after that access lapses. Renewing access does not restart the original expiry dates.

You can take one suggested action without creating a plan.

The report is a preview of its download, including coverage notes and limitations. Review the optional display name before exporting. Downloaded files can be forwarded and cannot be recalled; share them only with people you choose.

Create a report

  1. In My learning → Reports, choose the syllabus edition when offered, then a report type and period.
  2. Adjust your goal and available time in Overview before generating a fresh report.
  3. Review the preview, coverage notes and optional display name before downloading.

Guide me: guided lessons

Choose Guide me on a lesson to work through it one step at a time.

The complete lesson, worked examples, answers and simulations stay open to everyone.

Read the instruction beside the current activity, try the question with its answer controls or work on paper, then compare your answer. You can revisit an explanation and return to the same question. Try a question in this lesson opens a public preview without using a guided start.

Guide options lists the steps and your session details. Show full lesson lets you read around the current activity. When you return to a saved position, Quick recap revisits an earlier explanation before returning to your task. Close guide returns to the public lesson.

The optional working pad gives you space to draw or type notes. Closing the pad or changing an in-page step keeps your notes; leaving or reloading the page clears them. Pad notes are not submitted as answers or saved to your account.

Where Guide me is available, a free account gets 2 starts a day across supported subjects, renewing at midnight Singapore time. Premium includes unlimited starts in covered courses. You see your allowance before choosing to start. Every guided lesson includes its questions, hints and explanations; you can repeat, ask for help, reveal answers, skip or return to the public lesson.

You can return for 7 days from your first start without using another start, even if you’ve used today’s allowance. Your place stays in this browser; another device starts at the beginning. Your answers aren’t saved or synced. Clearing device learning removes your place without giving back a start. Switching accounts hides earlier guided details; downloaded public material stays on the device.

Use guidance to work through ideas and revisit them. To record course progress, pass a topic’s progress check; completing guidance or revealing answers doesn’t count.

Your daily learning plan

Today in My learning offers a small plan from your current course.

Follow its next activity, or open the other activities to choose a different one. The plan updates as you work and starts fresh each day.

Finished lessons and completed attempts count as activities finished in this plan, regardless of the attempt’s score. Check results show your understanding separately. Finishing the daily plan is a useful stopping point; you can still explore your course or continue with another activity.

Free learning and optional plans

Checks, explanations, extra practice, Check again, reviews and mocks are free.

An optional plan brings together lessons to revisit, focused practice, a free check and later review. You still get your full result, and the same progress rules apply.

For personalised practice, choose a few topics from your course and the time or focus skills you want to work on. Try each question before opening its explanation, then use the feedback to choose one idea to revisit. Review your topics and current allowance before starting; starts are shared across supported subjects.

Optional plans are coming soon. Free accounts will share 2 starts a day across supported subjects. Starts reset at midnight Singapore time.

Classes and assignments

Class work uses your organisation’s access.

A personal plan does not grant access to a class or anyone else’s results. Join with the invitation supplied for your account and enter the name shown to your teacher.

Teachers choose an organisation and course, name the class and set when its records will be deleted. An invitation is for one learner account that already has access through the organisation.

To prepare an assignment, choose a published task, an optional due time and whether to reject late submissions or accept and label them as late. An ordinary task can offer different questions to each learner. An exact shared form fixes the offered questions while giving each learner their own attempt.

Publishing a past-due assignment is allowed only when late work is accepted; all new submissions are labelled late. Archived assignments are closed to further work, while confirmed results remain within the class’s existing retention period.

Assigned completion covers that assignment only. Self-review and unmarked or uncertain parts stay separate from automatic marks; the report is not a verdict on the learner’s whole course.
