How old is the learner?
We’ll suggest an England key stage and a school year to begin with.
Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) is GCSE revision practice. The questions follow England’s key stages, not one exam board, so check board-specific topics (AQA, OCR, Edexcel) against your school’s syllabus.

Choose a Year 1–11 route grouped under England’s key stages. Curriculum plans differ across the UK; Year 10–11 subject options also vary by school and GCSE board. These are guided practice samplers, not a full curriculum or exam course. Younger learners may want an adult alongside them. If you need full exam-board course coverage or marked written work, pair this with your school’s resources.

Five selected, widely used technology languages: Python, JavaScript, SQL, TypeScript and Java. “Top” depends on the measure; this is a practical learning selection rather than a universal ranking. New tech courses contain 300 practice variants each. The original 325-question Python trail is preserved.
Each school subject has 100 questions per key stage. English combines eight original reading passages with language and guided explanation checks. Science pairs 50 application scenarios with 50 reasoning checks. Maths uses varied values to practise ten topic areas. These are practice questions, not 100 distinct curriculum objectives. English speaking, extended writing and whole-book study, and science practical work, need additional learning beyond quizzes.
