Why can I follow the lesson but miss the questions?

Try a short set on fractions without your notes. Review the reasoning behind each missed answer, then attempt another question on that idea.

  1. 01Choose a narrow topic so mistakes are easier to interpret.
  2. 02Answer before opening an explanation.
  3. 03Separate a concept gap from a rushed calculation or misread question.

The useful difference

What is Drills?

Create topic-based multiple-choice practice, answer questions and review explanations, accuracy and timing. Teachers can assign practice and inspect submitted results within their permitted classes.

Active recall means attempting an answer from memory. A drill gives you a concrete attempt to review; repeating an answer you remember is not the same as understanding it.

From question to action

How Drills works

  1. 01Pick a subject, chapter or topic, or let Drills build a custom test by difficulty level.
  2. 02Answer the MCQs. Every answer comes back with an explanation, right or wrong.
  3. 03Check the analytics: accuracy, speed and the topics you keep losing marks on, then drill those again.

Two sides of learning

Made for your part in the lesson.

For students

  • Practise untimed in practice mode, or simulate exam pressure in mock mode.
  • Read the result coaching: accuracy, timing, question-by-question analysis and a suggested next step.
  • Send any confusing question to Chat with one tap and talk it through.

For teachers

  • Assign one drill to a whole section, or personalise it per student, with a title and a due date.
  • Follow every assignment by status, from pending through in progress to completed or past due.
  • Change due dates, revoke assignments and open a report of how the class did.

Studying in the UK

Revise the topic. Then learn to answer the question.

GCSE and A-level revision is more useful when you can name the gap: recalling the content, interpreting the command word or completing the paper in time.

Bring a GCSE question you lost marks on or an A-level explanation you could not finish. Use the feedback to choose a specific topic to revisit before another timed attempt.

Our initial UK rollout focuses on England. Include your qualification, exam board and tier or level, and check available topics against your school’s GCSE or A-level specification.

Before you start

Drills questions

Do Drills cover GCSE and A-Level study in England?

Choose the subject and topic available to your account. For GCSE and A-Level study in England preparation, check the exam catalogue and use questions that match your syllabus; coverage varies by exam.

Can I build my own test?

Yes. Build custom tests by topic, chapter or difficulty level, and re-run the ones that expose a weak topic.

Can a teacher assign Drills to a class?

Yes. Teachers can assign Drills to individuals or whole sections and see each student's result. Teacher and classroom features are institution features, so the school sets up teachers and sections first. Once that is done, a teacher signs in with the same Gyanis account as everywhere else.
